Hey Ashley, I want to let you and your viewers know that I ordered your ventilator system from your website a few months ago. It has turned out to be one of the best investments I have ever made in tools. As an asthma sufferer, I have to be very careful about inhaling sawdust and all the other hazards in the wood shop. This is allowing me to continue in the craft that I love. The ventilator does a fantastic job, very well made and I want to recommend it to anyone who is shopping ventilators. I looked at many options on line, and this turned out to be the best by far. And I can wear my glasses with no interference. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement for all of us in the wood turning and crafting community.
New viewer. I had never seen that style of handle before. I had always seen and used the old wooden handles. I am not an active woodworker, it has been decades since I did any wood lathe work. I like learning new things. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the good information. I’ve had a wood and metal shop for over 20 years and now I’m getting serious about turning. This information really helps. As a former electrician, I have to say that the outlet behind you has bothered me as the cable is not in a conduit. Sorry I’m a bit pedantic too. Love you Ashley.
Very informative, I remember many years ago in shop class training in a lathe and the importance of the handle was not mentioned rather the tool rest being close to project . The handle length makes total sense now 😊 great video keep them coming. 👍
So helpful, as usual. I have a condition called Dupuytren's Contracture in my left hand. The push cut method Ashley uses is something I would love to learn. Maybe someday I can take a class or attend one of her workshops. I would never have guessed that she has a condition in her hands that makes her sensitive to vibration. I love the option of removing handles to sharpen tools, as well as being able to change handles so easily. Thank you for being willing to share with other turners.
After taking your class I am slowing switching most tools over to the SB handles. Easiest way to sharpen without the handle. The handle system is worth every penny and I am sorry I did not do it sooner. Plus it makes it easy to travel.
Ashley, thank you for all the great content and lessons. Just getting back into turning mostly duck calls, but going to try my hand at some bowls. I have Raynaud's disease and is a challenge, maybe build a warming table for your tools and protect those hands! 🤲
Hello Ashley, I just purchased a handle and a bolster, they look great. Please tell me and show me if you can how to attach my gauge properly Thank you!!! Lui
Nice video Ashley. I too sometimes struggle with hand pain from arthritis after a life time of playing sports. One thing you may find helpful is the use of a tennis racquet over-lay grip. Sold for tennis racquets, these are just long thin strips of rubber that players can easily and quickly put over their existing racquet handles. Occasionally I'll use them with my turning handles when my hands are bothering me. They provide just the slightest bit of cushion but also allow me a keen grip with very little pressure. Just a thought for you to keep in mind down the road...cheers.
Looking into turning bowls bought a bowl gouge and bowl scraper been watching your videos and Stuart’s videos to learn how to turn a bowl before I try it thanks
Ashley, thanks for the information, I only wish I had seen this prior to investing in tools. Now I want to replace my wooden handle tools with various length handles. Christmas is coming.
Thank you for sharing this information, it will help me to look at the different ways of turning and how it can help me in the long run. Thank you for sharing.
I have these handles that i ordered from her and they are so convenient, you only really need one of each length you use and they make sharpening simple! I love mine!
I purchased a gouge and handle from you a few months ago. For me sharpening is easier without the handle, especially when learning the 40/40 grind freehand. One of my other bowl gouges i converted to the 40/40 grind has a typical, but long wood handle and i seem to always lift it off of the rest no matter how far up the tool my hands are, the long wood handle is cumbersome and gets in the way.
Ashley, on your website, the shortest handles available are 12", and in the video, you have a couple that are seriously short. A lot of stuff I make is kind of small, and short handles work for me in certain situations. It would be nice to have your interchangeable system, as it appears to work very well, and can save a lot of space. Are handles available that are shorter than 12"?
Great video that answered a lot of my questions as a total rookie to turning. Loved these last few videos you have released covering tools and some basics. Any chance we will see one specific to your choices in lathes in the near future?
Great video, like the information that you give. It's something that everyone needs too know but most myself included don't think of or know. Looking forward to another great video sometime soon. Have a great weekend
I am interested in what height your lathe spindle is and think a "measurement above elbow" could help some of use to gauge where we should set up our lathes.
The one other issue with handles is the cold. Aluminum handles are light, low vibration, but incredibly cold through the winter, if your shop isn’t kept at room temperature all the time. Curious on the carbon fibre?
Once again, never fail to learn from your videos Ashley. In my ignorance, I assumed that a heavy handle would have been better, when in reality, all it is, is heavier. - Also the first time that I have been through ALL of the equipment links below, got a good laugh out of, "video editor/food" Thanks again !
I'm a pen turner who has just bought a skew chisel which I'm going to be making a custom handle for. I've got a couple of different 12" spindle blanks for it and I was wondering if there was a specific wood I had to use or wether its just about the looks?
I go for a fine straight grain wood for tool handles. Holly, cherry, ash all make great handles and are available to me. The fine straight grain means that the handle is less likely to split in the region near there the tool tang enters the handle. If it’s your first time turning a tool handle, practice on some scrap wood, try turning different shaped handles to see which you like. Making handles for old tools, files, rasps, screwdrivers, etc, as well as turning tools can be very rewarding.😀🇬🇧
@@filmbluff99 this is excellent thanks, thank you so much for all the guidance you have given me. I'm only 16 and I started turning earlier this year. Now I've started selling slimline pens on Facebook to some family and friends.
Hi dear Ashley, Could I ask you to do favor & prepare online classes & tutorials for foreign students who don't have the chance to come to USA?? Thanks a million
Went to watch a recent video that you posted on which lathe tools to use and the video has been deleted. Can you repost it? I never got to watch the full video. ☹
Ashley, there are all sorts of wraps for tennis rackets that would be great for those handles. You will get the feel without as much vibration. Go to a 'real' tennis shop or talk with a tennis coach!!

You really handled this topic well. Some people need to get a grip on things, and hold onto this wisdom
Hands-on learning is always good.
you're so punny
Nice

Love you Ashley Harwood and the push cut it's the greatest thing 👍
You are a good teacher. Your pace and delivery are easy to stay with and comprehend.

Another superb video Ashley. Woodturning by chandelier light, now that is class !!

Another outstanding video, great tips on tools to use as I’m just getting into wood turning. Newly retired, so it’s time to get started.
Ashley, do all types of chisel points (skew's or whatever) fit in the handles, or just the gouges?
You and tools ! WOW!!!
Love it! Stoney...
Thanks, Ashley. Good points about length of handle.
Appreciate your tool handle comparitorium. Answered some questions I had re interchangeable handles. Thank you and keep the great videos coming.
Very educational, thank you!

I'm pretty in love with interchangeable handles.
THANKS Ashley for the info
Do you mind sharing what the concern is about vibration in your hands?
What model of lathe do you use? Thanks for the videos.
Awesome advise! Thank you!
Thank you for this topic. As a relatively new turner, I'm constantly looking for information regarding the tools I use or might want to use.
The one other issue with handles is the cold. Aluminum handles are light, low vibration, but incredibly cold through the winter, if your shop isn’t kept at room temperature all the time. Curious on the carbon fibre?
Yes ,metal handles at 35 below is no fun I find i can get away with a glove on a wood handle , the hand holding the shank on tool rest needs a mitt
Once again, never fail to learn from your videos Ashley. In my ignorance, I assumed that a heavy handle would have been better, when in reality, all it is, is heavier. - Also the first time that I have been through ALL of the equipment links below, got a good laugh out of, "video editor/food"

Just wondering who makes the face shield that you wear, is it a air supplied mask?
oh the innuendos for those with their mind in the gutter!!! didnt know they even made these makes sense though

@@filmbluff99 just out of interest, how long would you say a skew chisel handle has to be?
It's 20mm wide.
@@isaacmason3939 The handle on my skew is the same length as that on my spindle gouge. I hope that helps.
@@filmbluff99 this is excellent thanks, thank you so much for all the guidance you have given me.

Oi me chamo Renato sempre vejo seus vídeos aqui no Brasil Parabéns pelo seu trabalho são todos muitos bonitos um abraço
Thank you for showing us your wood turning tools. Nice to now about your love for length of the handle and what you can use the long length for:)
Hi Ashley , Great to see that you are wearing a air fed mask , Phil from the moulin France
Hi dear Ashley,
Could I ask you to do favor & prepare online classes & tutorials for foreign students who don't have the chance to come to USA??
Thanks a million
thanks
Could you post a link for where to get that contained mask?
The link is under my video- it’s on my website, ashleyharwood.com
Went to watch a recent video that you posted on which lathe tools to use and the video has been deleted. Can you repost it? I never got to watch the full video. ☹
We’re working on it. Another Woodturner felt the need to file a complaint against it 🙄
@@AshleyHarwood OH NO! Darn complainers! Well, I hope your able to post it soon - was really looking forward to that one
@@AshleyHarwood Curious what could have been worthy of a complaint. I didn't see any reference a person or product that could be objectionable.
@@tthomasokc It was a graphic of a V-shaped flute. He claims we didn't have the right to use it.
Any way the book is titled Heritage written by Sean Brock , a Lowcountry chef .

Thanks, I appreciated the video. Is there a video that shows how the handles are assembled?
I realy wish you would also sell them in europe
I do. You can order from ashleyharwood.squarespace.com
I would like to send you a picture of a cookbook that you will love.
Like your holy jeans!
O wow like this video
Harley riders know vibration.
Me encantan tus videos, tu profesionalidad y que cada día haya más mujeres torneras. Saludos!!!
❤️❤️❤️
😊😊😊😊😊😊!!!!
Thanks Ashley for the info. Would love to get your input on my videos. I'm working on building subscribers
Great Content! Tip. Put your cue cards behind or closer to the camera lens. You are looking too much to the side sometimes.
I normally really enjoy your content,
But this was basically:
“Let’s talk about tool handles ... BUY THESE HANDLES - FINANCIAL BENEFIT TO MEEREEEE”
it is nice to see a beautiful woman showing a hot woman can be skilled and amazing in what they do. keep the workup you are amazing and skilled
BE MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
