Explore the tools one will need to begin woodturning. We discuss kits vs. individual tools, gouges, scrapers, parting tools, brands, pricing, types of steel, and handle systems.
Very interesting, informative, and clearly explained. Thank you very much from a person still waiting for my new lathe to arrive ,so a brand new newbie. :)
Came across this video I'm 70 year's old and have been turning 60 years my grandfather got me started at ten years old and I had too promise my grandfather not to say anything to my mother that he was teaching me wood turning my father was cool with it anyway I've always used good quality tools but inexpensive one's and found Benjamin's best have always worked great for me they are good quality and sharpen easily and last for the price of them! I am on my lathe almost every day I enjoy making live and natural edge bowls I can't even begin to tell you how many I've turned over 60 year's as with other turnings i have recently bought carbide tool's and ABSOLUTELY HATE THEM i personally prefer old school! You don't need the expensive stuff believe me I've bought them and there in my useless toolbox some place in my shop !!!🤔
I agree with the below comment. Very clearly explained and some great info from a newbie turner. The question i have, and i think i know the answer, is why do i see the majority of good turners using steel over carbide? Is it because the steel can be sharpened?
Carbide, while more durable, can never be as sharp as the steel used in modern turning tools. The steel, when used properly and properly sharpened, yields a much smoother finish.
