This is the best video I have seen. It shows how to use the bottom of the edge of the cutting tool no matter what tool you use. Along with other things.
Good instructional video Sam. I have not been able to turn in 5 years due to a medical condition. I am finally able to turn again and I needed this course Thank you so much. Great video!!!!!!
I've been on a bit of a hiatus from the lathe. Just getting back into it. I have to say that Vortex Tool is pure wicked! I have a Thompson fluteless that might get the Vortex treatment! Good video!
I have been turning and watching turners videos for almost a year now. Never have I seen such a precise and helpful footage about spindle turning. Thank you very much for showing up my mistakes an how to avoid them! Especially the which tool what for is very helpful.
You didn't make the video in one day and I didn't watch it all in one day. LOL It is a great video and I learned a lot. I will bookmark this video so I can refer back to it. Thanks
I am new to wood turning and this is the best video I have seen on TH-cam. One thing I never seem to see is advice on where to position the tool rest with respect to the center line of the wood. Great video, thanks Sam for all the effort you put into this.
Thanks for combining the use/techniques of each tool with the sharpening of the same tools. That was very helpful. I appreciate the time you put into these videos.
You offer a wealth of knowledge to those of us just starting out. I’m 46 and had never even been in front of a lathe until I started to shop for my first one and with only the help of videos like yours i turn every day and as safely as possible. Your videos help me understand the cuts not just do them and help me conduct myself in the most responsible manner possible. Thanks again!!!!
Sam; Just came across this. I have been making gnomes for Christmas. Peeling cuts and planing cuts are no problem for me, but making that tapered hat is not easy for me. One suggestion. I attach a stick on tape measure to the bar of my oneway jig on the side away from the clamp. Then I write the measure on the shank of the tool. Allows me to repeat the same setup each time I grind that tool.
Thank you for this great instruction. I've been struggling not to get catches with my skew and I think I may be starting to get it. The videos you produce and your recommended links and other resources are very helpful.
Thank you Sam for taking the time to share your knowledge. The first bowl I ever turned was when I went to school, that was 51 years ago. I still have that bowl! Over the years I've turned odd pieces, but have only recently developed a real passion for turning wood again. I'm finding the information in your videos very useful, you make a great teacher. thanks again.
I too want to thank you. I find your videos very informative and easy to understand. I'm danish and have been watching some danish wideos on the subject and they were very poor. From you, I have learned a great deal. One of the nice things is that you take your time to show and explain the things, your doing. Thanks again.
This video was so well done. It was long, but a good long, if that makes any sense? The close up shots are so much appreciated. Your time and efforts are very much appreciated by me. Glad to see your hand is healing nicely. You have a great survivor instinct. I can tell as a Cancer survivor myself it is shown in your I can do attitude . Please keep up the great videos.
Mr. B......thanks. after I had my accident I had no intention of not doing videos anymore. I felt=what choice did I have? I respect your story and your strength. Sam
Love this series you are doing on tools. I've only been turning for 6 months and I'm trying to soak up all the info I can, thank you for the time you've taken to put this together.
Using speech to text so may contain rubbish I am a completely blind with her now returning to wood turning after a 25 year break thanks to Blind veterans UK This video is incredibly helpful as it is verbally so descriptive and has improved my use of the scooters or particularly Thank you wish there were more videos like this and Mike warts who also makes good verbally descriptive videos Thanks again David
Thank you very much I appreciate your comment it means a lot to me. Ironically you were the second blind Woodturner who has commented about my descriptions. I would love to hear how I can make that better or easier for you as a blind individual. What more can I do to describe what I am doing when I make a video. Again thank you very much and be safe if there is anything I can ever do let me know please call me if you want my cell is 307-431 -5395. I am always available sam
An invaluable tutorial on the tools used for spindle turning Sam. A great reference video for both beginners and experienced alike. Thanks once again for sharing your extensive knowledge and experience. Take care Mike
Same, thanks so much for the video (s). Just got my first lathe for Christmas so i'm immersing myself in various how tos...and am finding yours extremely helpful in showing angles, stances, techniques etc. Truly appreciated. Once i get a little more over the intimidation factor i'll start playing with my first blank.
Sam! I have been turning for a while but using carbide tools. I mostly turn multi layered segmented bracelets. I have a pretty expensive set of HSS turning tools but am self taught. I have never dared to use them because of not having someone handy to teach me. This video has been very useful in learning how to use some of the tools. Thanks! Ron
I'm grateful for this video. Thank you for putting the time in for it, it was very helpful. I'm adding it to a watch later list to keep it for reference. :)
James I did find the "profiler" I did not they made this device. I think I will save my money. Always good to learning sharpening first without a jig. Sam
Thank you so much for making this video I'm just starting turning & was a bit confused on what tool to use etc plus sharping I'm sure many people found your video a great help Regards Steve UK London
Im just starting out and this video is a godsend - has opened up my eyes to alot of new stuff - that after having gorged myself on all the videos i can watch on here. I see you're turning stuff at 2500 rpm - If my lathe only goes upto 2100rpm, would that be a problem at all, or just mean i would have to turn small diameter stuff a little more slowly?
Thanks again, your library of videos is invaluable. As a novice at sharpening, I have some concerns; I seem to be getting a sharper point than desired on spindle gouges with steel fixed in the handles (Sorbey). I'm using the Wolverine setup with a Rikon slow speed grinder, (not using the vari-grind attch) . My sense is maybe the shape of the end of the handle in the jig may be a factor?
Allen I’m not sure how you’re sharpening this tool, are you putting the end of the handle into the V arm? When sharpening a gouge, you should be swinging the handle from side to side to give you a swept back wing.
Thanks for the schooling, on the tools. I watched the Allen Batty video on the skew he is a true master.There is a guy called woodturner21 who dose a lot of real time work on here with the skew he he is also pretty amazing. Thanks again
Hey Sam, Hope you are doing well. I am just curious about something. At 18:35 in the video when you are cutting the cove I can't quite tell if the bevel of the gouge is rubbing or not (maybe only a very small portion is rubbing?). Can you please comment? Thank you.
Good eye....I think at first in cutting this cove the bevel is not really rubbing the wood but toward the end-it is. I may have a micro bevel on the tool that can't be seen. I think part of it is the camera angle. Something else-I think the bevel on this tool is really long. A tool with a shorter bevel would be better. Sam
Really enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing. What type of sharpening wheels do you recommend? Is there a video where you share this type of information?
I don't have a video. I use 2 CBN wheels but they are costly. But nothing wrong with stone or matrix wheels. But you must find ones that work with the complex steels we use today. Sam
Great video. Thanks a lot for all the explanation. Beginner with wood but experienced with metal work. Couldn’t help noticing the parting tool is used flipped 180 degrees compared to metal lathe work. Anyone knows the reason for this?
Speaking of practice maybe you could practice holding the handle in your left hand and guide the chisel with your right hand for the left hand cuts as I find this way more comfortable and more accurate then trying to cut the left side of the bead from a right handed stance. Plus one has full control due to one guiding with the right hand, and as you cut right right handed you will see what I mean if you try this out. Nice video full of information. Thank you for the upload. Subbed.
I really like your video. Can you please show us where the tool rest is in relationship to the center for each tool. I know the height is very important on weather you get a catch or not. I know I need this instruction. Thanks
Charles This is a good question----maybe one for my next "notes" video. I am not sure if there is an easy answer. One, the diameter of the wood changes and you must change the tool rest. Different tools require a different height. Ex: the skew chisel, in my opinion requires a rest at a comfortable height. If the rest is too low, the handle is too low and not comfortable. I think generally, it should be right at the center line. Sam
Sam, I see you are getting fine curls when you rotate the blank by hand; I cant get those;why? Do you hone the edge of your turning tools, after grinding, as you would do with carving tools?
Seth, a lot goes into having a properly sharpened tool. The proper grind for the nose angle in degrees and how you sharpen the tool. Really too much to cover right here. I just think it takes a lot of practice and experience. Also you might try practicing on wood that is a little softer that will help Sam
Since I bought mine, they are much less costly and offered by more producers. I got one from Craft Supply USA and one from D-way tools. I see no difference in quality in either tool. I think I would find one that costs as little as possible. Sam
Is it necessary to have a bowl gouge to turn the inside of a bowl? I don't have one and have tried to use a roughing gouge or a spindle gouge but, they want to grab and throw the gouge to the outside of the bowl. I am new to turning and trying to get started. I have only turned a couple bowls.
The main thing in answer to your comment IS...do not every use a spindle roughing gouge on a bowl or cross grain piece of wood. A spindle gouge would work but it is probably too small. A 5/8" bowl gouge is important to have. Sam
Great video Sam. There was a lot of info in there for a new person, like myself. Please consider wearing dark shirts when making videos. It was difficult to see the contrast between the light wood and your light shirt, the backdrop of your camera view. Thanks for all your work.
I am not sure what angle you are referring to....the angle on the cutting edge of the skew or the angle I present the tool to the wood. Let me mention each a little. First I am not sure what the exact angle is on my skew chisel. I do have 5 or 6 and each may have a slightly different angle. I think this is up to your own approach and what you need from the tool. I also am leaning more to an edge that is fairly straight. As far as the pealing cut I present the tool in a cutting orientation-with the handle low. The cutting edge is square on to the wood with the handle fairly perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Sam
Shane I have never used that particular tool. I did look it up to see it. I think if you made many spindles and such, it would be a good tool. But I think there are other ways to size a spindle. Sam
Thank you for the response love the videos I turn but just legs your work has inspired me after 30 years to actually make something else besides furniture, I see Natsuki Ishitani use one th-cam.com/channels/7FkqjV8SU5I8FCHXQSQe9Q.htmlfeatured?disable_polymer=1 ( I make make a lot of stools and table legs)
I usually sharpen my spindle gouges at 40°. This creates a very long bevel which might be hard to control. You could perhaps try a shorter bevel with maybe a 45 degree nose angle. Other than that it does take a lot of practice. Check up a piece of soft wood that you can just waste away and practice coves and beads. Good luck. Hope this helps Sam.
Good question. I have gone through several sharpening setups over the years. I had 2 sharpening jigs before I settled on the Wolverine oneway jig. Setting up depends on how much do you want to spend. I have 2 CBN wheels which are amazing, but cost upwards of $450. You really need a slow speed/variable speed grinder. Woodturning is a very expensive hobby. And, I don't know what you have now. Sam
This is the best video I have seen. It shows how to use the bottom of the edge of the cutting tool no matter what tool you use. Along with other things.

I think the best place to start is with a small, wet limb. Just put it between centers and practice. Turn a little slower at first 500-600 RPM. Sam

This is a great idea. I struggle doing videos using light colored woods. This would help a lot. I will keep it in mind.

I am not sure what angle you are referring to....the angle on the cutting edge of the skew or the angle I present the tool to the wood. Let me mention each a little.

Where did you get the set up for sharpening the tools?
Good question. I have gone through several sharpening setups over the years. I had 2 sharpening jigs before I settled on the Wolverine oneway jig. Setting up depends on how much do you want to spend. I have 2 CBN wheels which are amazing, but cost upwards of $450. You really need a slow speed/variable speed grinder. Woodturning is a very expensive hobby. And, I don't know what you have now. Sam
