Just to say thank you so much for the video. As a newish turner I found this so useful and I am now able to use the scraper much more safely. Still learning but getting better results. Not only are you a fabulous turner Tomislav but you are also an excellent teacher. So many other sites show beautiful turning like yours but the beginner is then left trying to work out how to replicate what they see safely. With your videos I learn so much. Thank you again.
This was super helpful! I’ve stayed away from scrapers in a lot of situations because they’re so grabby. Turns out I was presenting them to the wood incorrectly. After 20 years of turning I love that I’m still learning new things. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I which I had seen this (and Richard’s videos) before I converted my scrapers to negative rake. I am now going back to traditional scrapers without the fear of a catch and like the results.
Bravo. Vous avez abordé ce sujet de l'emploi des grattoirs très intelligemment et surtout vous avez attiré l'attention sur les risques de "plantage" à cause de l'angle d'attaque du bois. Vos avertissements sont très instructifs et bien éclairés par votre vidéo, car c'est un sujet auquel un néophyte ou débutant ne prête pas assez d'attention et c'est la catastrophe! Merci à vous pour cet éclairage et continuez ce bon travail.
Thank you so much, this video, as well as the one on sheer scraping, was quite helpful. I definitely understand better about catches and how they can cause a bowl to break up. 😊
Very useful and informative video. Thank you . Very interesting grain pattern in the bowl, from many angles you get the optical illusion of funnelling down a well.
I wish you had been posting videos like these 10 years or so ago when I was learning how to get big catches on bowls. Would have enjoyed not having to chase the bowls around the shop as the bounced after being torn off the chuck. Oh, well, no one was hurt so that's all right. Nice job presenting the proper way to present the tool. Very clearly stated. I see some comments about sound. For some reason I have to turn the volume way up when I watch your videos and Richard Raffins. then when I go back to others videos I turn the volume down again. Don't know why but there it is.
Glad you liked it Randy, and thank you for watching and feedback about sound.... If I use microphone then the lathe sound get fore some reason distorted, but I'll have to sort this out for sure.....🤗
You are a really good instructor. I've been turning for a while, but I still like to watch good teachers. Ya know, for marketing (and maybe for profit) purposes, you could offer a video of "The Making of Your Bowl", showing the highlights of a customer's bowl being made. Cheers!
I do prefer a shear scrape for my finish cuts, both inside and outside the bowl. My main scrapers are like the one you shear scrape with, about half the width is flat/square, and the rest is swept back.. With the standard scraping cut, they do fine across the bottom of the bowl because it is flat grain and you are not going down through the grain. They are lousy for the transition and up the walls of a bowl. Pretty much the same with NRSs (negative rake scrapers). That can depend a lot on the wood though. I have seen many use a swept back grind gouge on the inside of a bowl, and call it shear scraping, which it is not. At best, it might be a NRS. If the tool is held level, and the flutes are at 9 o'clock, then a big catch generally doesn't happen. What does cause that catch is if the flutes are at 10 or 11 o'clock. No bevel rub, and a pointed edge presented to the wood..... I think that is one I haven't done. I do like a burnished burr for my shear scraping.
Hi sir, thank you for watching and comment, I do like your videos 😉..... There are many preference on smoothing surface,my aim is to show few of them.... I avoid gouge for sheer scrape on inside as people will try to copy that and in my opinion its a really bad habit since its easy to present gouge in the wrong way on inside opposed to outside..... That is my take on that atleast 🤗 I would rather see folks take one more push cut down the bowl rather then sheer scrape with gouge.... Thank you once again for support 👍
Excellent explanation on using a scraper on the interior of a bowl. Maybe you could explain what caused the wave pattern on the inner side of the bowl. Again, an excellent video, thank you.
Can you describe the method used to determine the appropriate height of a bench top in order to mount a new lathe. The height of a lathe from the floor must vary according to the to the physical dimensions of the individual (height of elbow from the floor)?? Can you explain what you use?
Thank you for watching and comment, you will find a few days old video on setup a new lathe with bench, hope it will help out,if you still have questions feel free to ask 🤗
Thank you.... I bought it from njuskalo, used stuff website in Croatia, there were 3 pieces that guy sells..... In Croatia its called STIRIA so maybe there is similar name in Slovenia...... This is similar stuff metal-kovis.hr/shop/metal/stirija-pravokutna
Just noticing that you are not trying to position the tool rest too far into the bowl..would like to learn your method for positioning the tool rest..thanks

Glad to be able to help out 🤗 thank you for watching
Thank you Tom for this great clarification about the use of te scaper with simple logical rules.
Glad to be able to help out ☺️
Wow! The best explanations I have seen, read or listened to on using the scrapers.. Thank you very much
Thank you Sir for watching 🤗
Great instruction and simplification of the right way to do that! Really helped me quantify what I am learning by watching you and Mr. Raffan!
Thank you for feedback and glad I could help 😉

Thank you very much for kind words, thank you for support and that means a lot to me👍
Very useful information, thanks, never really considered the safety aspect of scrapers, so will help me keep myself and my projects in one piece.
Glad I Could help, thank you for watching
Great video sir, you explain how to present and manipulate the tool very well.
Thank you very much
Two very good videos explains scrap and shear scraping. Well explained, thank you
Thank you.... Glad you liked it 😀
Thanks for your tips. I’ve learned more from this video than most I’ve watched.
Glad to hear that, means a lot, thank you very much for watching 🤗

Thank you Mike 😉

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning No the sound seemed ok to me.

It might not be worth the time and effort. Just a thought. 🙂@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

Thanks a lot very nice explanation using the scraper thanks. Robert
Thank you Robert for watching and support what I do 😉
Another great video. Sadly common sense is in short supply 😀
Thank you sir .... As one older turner said,common sense isn't common anymore 😀

I like a technical video, thanks.

Excellent demo thank you. Great tips. When you tilt the base from flat, for shear cut how much are you tilting generally? 45 degrees?
That is correct,that is rough angle but close to 45.... Thank you for watching 🤗
Another great video. Can you tell me, where did you buy the steel?
Thank you.... I bought it from njuskalo, used stuff website in Croatia, there were 3 pieces that guy sells..... In Croatia its called STIRIA so maybe there is similar name in Slovenia......
This is similar stuff

Thank you very much 🤗
Tomislave razumijete li srpski? Trebaju mi neke informacije u vezi sa ovim, a ne znam engleski. Pozdrav
Pozdrav, imate moj mail u opisu kanala pa ako mogu kak pomoci, posaljite mi mail
❤
Nicely done.. I notice a lot of similarly in your stile and techniques as Richard raffan was he a big influence on you? Thank you
Thank you very much, indeed there are many similarities, he is my mentor, great influence in my work .... Great eye for details 😉
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning very cool...
About what speed were you running when scraping?
Around 1200-1300rpm😀
Sound ishues?
Zasto? Ja sam pregledao ali nisam nis skuzil?
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning there was no sound the first time I wached it. Now is there. Sorry.
@@MPLMWorkshop scared me there for a minute 😂😂
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I've must have clicked it as soon it uploaded,so the sound didnt load.
@@MPLMWorkshop could be ☺️
