Four Cuts - A Wood Turning Basics Lesson
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2019
- There are only a few main cuts in turning and 3 turning blank orientations. Success comes from understanding the grains interaction with an edge/wedge. And since there are only a few handful of tools this is an easy reach for new woodworkers. Grasp this and your enjoyment of the craft and quality of results will all improve.

Rock solid understanding and knowledge expertly explained. Thanks! I've worked with wood most of my life and have a wood science degree. Your explanation of cutting theory and practice reminds me of my student days reading McKenzie and Koch! Having just recently purchased a lathe I need to learn and practice a new skill and this video has helped enormously! Everyone who works with wood should see this, not just wood turners!

Single best woodturning video I've ever seen. This demystified so much.
What Shaun Hayward said ... new to this game and without good local tutors I have been playing, testing, trying, perfecting. I guess I have quickly learnt that tool sharpening and technique are key BUT understanding the engagement of the tool to the wood and grain structure will be a game changer. Great video well shot and very understandable.
Very good. Novice turner's should very carefully watch, listen, and learn. This video also makes you think. Signed. Novice.
I have a DSc Tech degree and I just love how you put a lot of analytical thinking on what you do. You build indepth understanding instead of repeating generic advice. I have actually wached this a couple of times. This video is phenomenal.
Sidenote: I was reading articles on wood turning and the skilled makers said there are two different cuts... I was like nope, four! It is really rewarding to learn the techniques as now I am experimenting with different woods. If the wood is not dense enough for one type of cut I can switch to another technique. Also understanding what happens where the chisels touch the wood allows changing the angle and rotate the tool without too much thinking. I take a bowl gouge and turn it sideways instead of using a roughing chisel. I rotate it to scrape a U-shape, and so on. Most rewarding was that I finally became friends with the skew yesterday. It takes a bit more power than the other chisels and it is necessary to understand how to use the pressure so that you don't push in a way that makes a catch. I was able to cut very straight end-grain surfaces freehand to glue different woods together without sanding.
An hour+ video for me as a newbie that I felt I learned something all the way through and enjoyed watching. No wasted words. Very well presented.
Finally, someone puts 'cutting' in plain English...thank you.
I agree this was very helpful video adjust started to use ale the know-nothing this is a very helpful and education how long have you been using a lathe?

Couldn't agree more.
Great explanatory video!
The best video i have ever seen related to woodturning Your videos has been a tremendous help Thank you so much Cheers
I very-very-very rarely say this, but this video was one of the best I have seen about woodturning/woodworking. Thank you!
ok so I love watching wood turning videos, and I have never felt I understood enough to ever attempt it.
This id the first video that explains what people are actually doing with the tools.
I'm going to have to watch this a couple times once I get a laithe
As a complete beginner just about to use my first (second hand) lathe your tuition was awesome and i made an instant subscribe!
Your videos have been so tremendously helpful. I genuinely thank you for putting in the time to teach these things.
With zero experience, I recently purchased a wood lathe. I have watched numerous videos from many experts. I could not for the life of me figure out just what was going on with the complicated geometry of the tools. Until I watched your video, that is. Now, it all makes sense. Thank you so much for the instructions.
Shawn, apologies for the long post. I’ve been woodworking for 25+ years and have done a wide variety of projects from which I’ve learned a ton about wood grain, cutting, and movement. But I’ve finally broken down and gotten a lathe and have been spending a significant amount of time watching beginning woodturning videos. The grain dynamics, while still universal, for me, still require a brand new paradigm given the dynamics of spinning wood. This video, with the deep dive into those dynamics and the simplicity of the four different cuts and how the different shaped tools have basically identical edge interactions, has been an eye opener and will help me immensely. As I said, I am just starting out and have found myself wanting to do a particular shape and then staring at my tools wondering which one to use. This results in tossing tons of toothpicks in the trash as I experiment, with no real understanding of what is happening. I will be referencing this video frequently as I move into this world. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together. Skip.
Also shout out to @chrisnedbalek2866 for indexing the time and topics for easy reference.
Thanks for your videos I appreciate them, i made all my chisels myself out of leaf springs from the scrapyard and lathed all the handles, it was a rewarding experience.
This goes down as one of the great videos on TH-cam! To be a good teacher is a real gift, and you are a great teacher. One of the best on TH-cam and so one of the best in the world. Thank you for your time.
Been turning for years, and this is the best description and demonstration I have seen for the 4 cuts.
The same here. I wish that I had this information in this format when I started out. I had to learn from my own mistakes.
Being showed how to do something is one thing. But being taught why is so much more important. Thank you very much. You are the best teacher.
Thank you for this video. There are hundreds of tutorial videos out there and this is the first time I learn so much about grain and how to work with it. Fantastic!
My practice. Watch this video, go practice. Watch video again, go practice more. Repeat as necessary.
Thanks for all the great videos.
You’re awesome.
Watching this should be compulsory for anyone buying a lathe, BEFORE they begin turning. Less catches, less accidents and much more productive fun. Thank you for another great lesson. Kevin UK
Excellent video, best beginner turning video i've seen so far!
I watched several “Lathe basics” videos before I found this one and boy I’m glad I kept searching. If he’s not a teacher he should be. This was the most comprehensive easy to understand nuanced approach to showing not only what to do but why you want to do it this way I have ever seen on any subject on TH-cam. I immediately became a subscriber and look forward to all your other videos.
Agreed. Very informative.
Love your lecture, man. Now that I understand better what is 'actually' going on at the wood itself; and more to the point; the cutting edge, my turning is better.
You-da-man ...
Best ...

Excellent Video, even after turning for a few years now, it cleared up some problems I encounter. Will use this as a refresher as needed. Thanks!
Again! So thorough, which in the end makes it so clear. I'm learning so much from these turning lessons. Thank you so much for doing them.
Worth the time to revisit this too
As a rank beginner, I find that this post is the very best that I have seen. Great teaching. Thank you.
Without a doubt this video has been the best explanation of how it all works! I have watched several and none have broken things down so I get it the way you did! You rock Sir!
Thanks
Great lesson on the basics of tool cuts. Thank You for that information.
It's 2:30AM, I am so tired but, cannot seem to stop watching. Such a great video, learned a lot. Thanks.
Thanks
Absolutely great lesson.Thank you.Hello from Russia.
Thanks for the information... I just started turning after a couple years of using dremels, grinders and hand tools to create my carvings. I'm excited for this... and I appreciate the work that people like you put into helping others understand this craft. Take care, friend.
I have to make another comment, I just used what you showed us and it was so much more enjoyable, and safe lol. Thanks again
I’m learning more and more. I always come back to your and one or two others videos. The more I turn, the more things you’ve pointed out make sense allowing me to learn even more from your videos. I really appreciate the work you’ve put into your teaching vids. Thank you.
You are among the best teachers I've seen on all youtube, in any subject.
I'm an italian cabinetmaker who is trying to improve his own woodturning ..... I appreciate a lot your passion but mostly your very talented educational attitude!!!
Great Video as a old man learner this is very helpful one of if not the best videos for beginners that I have found , as an oldie just starting a new hobby we need all the help we can get and your video is just that. Many Thanks
Thanks
Man, I’ve just watched you for 12 hours, and I’ve learned more than in the last 2 years! Bravo!
I always love the detail, comments, challenges and comedic elements in your commentary. Thanks for the lessons. You're great to learn from.
Very informative video! Many others (including some from woodworking magazines!) often say "do it this way" with little or no useful explanation. THANK YOU for explaining WHY we should "do it this way."
Most valuable and best 1 hour and 10 mins of my learning experience. Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you. This is easily one of the most useful videos on the internet right now!
I agree, very well done. I am a slow learner so I need to watch a few learned so I had to watch several times and enjoyed each times. Very well presented,
As a new woodturner I find your videos invaluable. Love the way you describe everything that's easy for dummies like myself to understand. For the first time since watching this video I actually enjoy using a skew now instead of expecting a catch every time I try and use it.. Keep up the brilliant work.
Thanks for sharing your skills, and teaching us to be better turner's. You sir have helped me hone my skills much better than I was before. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us, you should write a book about your knowledge because it would be the go to book if you needed to check if you are doing and using the right chisel for the job. Thanks for sharing your skills
Excellent explanations and demonstrations. Just whenever I was thinking some of the explanations were starting to get convoluted, you followed with a demonstration that cleared it all up. You are a very good educator. Thanks
Ya, I'm an avid box turner. Been learning from this guy for years. Always first class videos.
Thank you.
……as always with your videos………..knowledge! Useful knowledge!!!
Best video for learning about physics behind turning! Best man! Thanks so much 🙂
In this one hour video I learn more than a full day workshop I paid good money for. This is a very tricky subject to explain and you have done a masterful teaching here. Thank you
Thanks
Man, I think you for teaching these fundamentals. It's just what I needed.
This is easily the best video explaining the difference in cuts and tools. For a nerd like me hearing the science behind each cut made it all click for me. Amazing video.l
Best turning video that ever existed in the universe. Learned a lot!
Shawn you are seriously a great teacher! You know how to part information and made me go buy something other than pen blanks to start turning out some other things!
Thanks
I am in the process of buying my first lathe. This makes me so much more confident diving in this hobby.
Very helpful!
It's like a kind of collge lecture.
Easily understandable :)
Thanks for sharing experience of your professional wood turning!
Thanks
He’s such a great teacher.
I just started trying out woodturning and I'll tell you I've been working basically randomly. This video was the best investment of an hour! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
By far the best lathe video for beginners. Everyone else just skips over these crucial details. Thank you so much!
Thanks
The best instructional turning video I've ever seen. Thank you.
this is so excellent i finally now understand the basics which is the fundamental's thank you very much from south Africa
Best beginner video I've seen. Thanks.
Thanks
A perfect piece with really clear explanations, thank you from the UK. I’m looking forward to learning from your other videos. Thank you for your time making these excellent educational pieces 👍
Everyone enjoyed and benefited from this valuable lesson and the next generation will do too.
Thank you so much for explaining this and the others you do!
Wow what an education I got. I never knew this !! Thank you so much.
As everyone has said, this is a great video which makes turning so much easier to understand because you have explained the interactions between the tools and the wood in each situation.
The clearest, by a mile, explanation about turning basics that I've ever seen. Thank you.
You are a fantastic teacher, expertly explained, I've yet to turn anything , currently awaiting my lathe but learning before I start. Giving me a great understanding of tool usage.
Thank you sir
And this is the video that makes me realize how much I still need to learn. Excellent explanations, thank you.
This is a great instructional video. Not only does he explain HOW, but he also explains WHY.
Well this is the best explanation of the theory of wood turning I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching if your not in teacher it’s a shame thank you for making this video ✌️
Most important aspects of turning. I've already broke a lathe with the dreaded "catches" and you explained perfectly as to why. Can't recommend this video enough! Many thanks.
Nice job explaining the cuts. As always very helpful. Thank you for what you do.
This is great very informative.thanks for the safe explanation of the use of tools,as a beginner really needed to know these things.
This is ridiculous!
Spending ALL.my free time watching your videos!
Superb. I have learned so much about lathe turning and it makes me rush out to the shop to try them out.
And, I am finally enjoying turning bowls, boxes and mushrooms.
Thanks, fella.
( And you are WAY TOO YOUNG to be so wise!)
I'm officially a senior citizen this year.
You teach really well, thank you, this has to be the best vid i have watched
The best video i have ever seen related to woodturning ! Great explanations, looks like I now understand what I was doing the last 10 years 😁
Many thanks from Germany 👍
The video transform theory into practice and vica versa
This is an amazing video. I have never seen someone explain the basic mechanics of wood turning in such great detail. Yet this video is easy for a new person to this craft like me to understand. Thank you so much!
This is a really good lesson, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Thanks for taking the time to put together this video. The demonstrations plus the white board diagrams are very helpful.
Thank you for this video! So much learning in one spot! Amazing!
Thanks, best explanation on wood grain I've ever heard, I finally get it.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such a simple but in-depth explanation of how to use the different edges of different chisels in wood turning.
I don't even have a lathe yet but I am keen to learn. When you watch the experienced turners and they make it look so easy. But there is a lot more to it.
You have shared in one hour what would probably take years to figure out.
Thank you so much. 😊 🇦🇺
Thanks
I'm striving for really good tools. thanks for sharing
Ah Ha ... this time I found you ON PURPOSE and I am glad I did!! At this rate I'm beginning to actually UNDERSTAND what I'm doing. Thanks VERY MUCH for taking the trouble to explain what is actually happening with the plane, peal, slice and scraping cuts. Please keep your videos coming!
EXCELLENT! Everyone who wants to get into word turning should watch this video first. So well explained. Thank you!
Excellent, this should be shown to everyone starting to turn!
What a great video! Thank you for explaining this the way you did!
Agreed that this is the absolute best turning video I have seen on TH-cam
You sir are a great instructor. Thank you.
Really great explanations and demonstrations. Thank you. I think I've slipped into some poor habits over the years.
Superb! Every question, every confusion I had about turning addressed and answered. Great tuition as always, many thanks.
Due to a "COVID" slowdown in my industry, I haven't been able to take the plunge into this exciting venture. What I have been able to do is watch WORTHEFFORT tutorials presented by Shawn Graham. WOW! A gifted person like Shawn Graham doesn't come along very often, but here he is! The in-depth explanations are 2nd to none! Thanks Shawn Graham for all you do! With your help, I look forward to diving in to this hobby! God has truly blessed you with this talent!
This was definitely worth the effort to watch...and I'll probably watch it again several times.
Thank you for your time.
I just started wood turning a couple of days ago and today I came across this video. This is the best learning video I have watched. Thank you very very much for such an informative job.
I will hopefully be picking up a lathe this Wednesday, will be self teaching. Thanks for these videos, fills the gaps.
everything i ever wanted and needed to know about wood turning, as a beginner. super helpful, thank you brother for taking the time
I appreciate your teaching style. Thank you!
Ok I just ordered a lathe and some chisels. Guess you gonna be my teacher. I was thinking I could do this as retirement when I get old. I'm 53 so I better get started. I bought a new stihl chainsaw to. It wasn't be here for a week so I got time after work to watch videos. Here goes a new journey!!!!
Brandon Luter
WOW!!! This is the most understandable, “user friendly”, in depth video on tool selection that I have seen on TH-cam. I have never seen such a careful explanation and demonstration of the fine differences between blade shapes, and how they can be properly employed. Very well done, and highly recommended!!!!!!
