- I do a D-Way Beading Tools review. This is the easy way to do small, consistent beads such as those in beads of illusion woodturnings as well as embellishing bowls, boxes and other woodturning projects.
I upload new wood turning videos regularly so Ya’ll come back, hear?
Here is where to find the beading tools shown in this video: d-waytools.com

I have a full set. Overkill, for me, but I love D-Way and overspent. There is a learning curve in getting the right angle of cut for different woods, but they work great once you figure it out.
Even simple tools have some learning curve, don't they?
I use these too but have recently changed my approach. If you use them with the points uppermost you are scraping but try turning them over and you are cutting with a bevel - gives good results too.
Umm. I will check it out. Thanks, Richard.
Hi Mike, Glad to see you've finally found one of the best turning tool manufacturers in the USA. Some of us in Europe have been using their products for a good few years.
Cheers from the UK
I actually bought my first CBN wheel from D-Way years ago.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video, Mike!
Those are pretty slick! Thanks for sharing...
Mike. Good job as usual. I have several of the D-Way beading tools and as mentioned below, once you get the hang out using them they work great. Little practice is all it takes.
Not a steep learning curve at all.
Hi, Mike. I got one of these beading tools from D-Way. But when I used it, I got a lot of chipping on the cross-grain. I think I was using it on a bowl. It appears to work better on a spindle.
I have not had enough experience to comment on quality of cuts on many woods. There is some technique involved - handle very low and some rocking. I can say from personal observation that Harvey Meyer does not get tear out on Bradford Pear.
Outstanding brother 🇺🇸
I need to give those are try. Thank you!!!
hi red .
@@diydarkmatter ... Hey brother ✋
Looks like a really easy tool to use, Mike. I like to make a bead around the bowl opening on a winged bowl and that's always kind of hard to do but this would be slick. Did they have other sizes, seems like 1/4" might be useful? Thanks for the great video demo!

I put their website link in the video description. That would be the best way for more detail tool info.
Nice tool, Mike. I am not going to do any baskets either but I can see uses for a beading tool in other applications. Thanks for sharing.
I am sure you will see me use this tool on future projects.
Thanks for the good info., learned a lot from watching your videos.
Thanks, Gary.
looks like a great tool mike . hey do you have or would you be willing to make a video on how to set up your bench grinder for sharpening your gouges free handed . i dont have one of those fancy sharping jigs . and i think i might have my grinder set up on the wrong angle . my plate dont have reference marks for angles so i use a multi square . and i just cant seem to get that razor sharp edge im looking for . im pretty paticaler who i ask questions to and i like to get advice from people i know have the experience to tell me how to do it right . thanks mike i always value your opinion my friend .
Sorry, but free hand grinding is not something I feel like I could be successful teaching by video. I use a jig.
Check out Captain Eddie Castelin on his You Tube Channel, you can get the plans to make your own grinding jig and get correct grinds on your chisels.
@@bassrun101 thanks linda ill do that
@@MikePeaceWoodturning no worries buddy thanks or being honest
Have you tried grinding and old wrench into the shape you want to use as a tool? Do they have a steel that is hard enough? Thanks for all your great videos.
I do occasonally use a wrench with one edge sharpened to help size a tenon on smaller dowels. I would not want to just use a wrench for a piece of steel to make a tool from. HSS blanks I use for the various scrapers shown in my videos are not that expensive and easily found in my Amazon shop. Cutting a wrench with an angle grinder could easily damage it from overheating. It could also damage my CBN wheels when doing final shaping.
Mike Peace Woodturning Thanks Mike. Appreciate your opinion greatly. Keep up the good work. Your videos help us novice turners eliminate tragic mistakes that could potentially ruin a project or hurt us badly. 👍🏻
Hi Mike, I make miniatures as a hobby & I'm just now getting into woodturning. Can you recommend a lathe that is suitable to fit on my craft room desk? Thanks!
I am unfamiliar with small lathes primarily for pen turners with less than a 10" swing. Most current smaller lathes tend to be mid lathes with a 12 bowl capacity. You might look around for an older mini lathe like a Jet 1014 with a 10 capacity. It is a bit lighter then the 12" capacity lathes so easier to move off your desk if that is your plan. Sometimes you can find them on Craigs list or ask around at your nearest club. A lot of folks are happy with the Harbor Freight 10" lathe you can get with a 20% off coupon.
How would you sharpen those?..tks Mike.
You just hone the flat front as I mentioned in the video but probably should have demonstrated. I will demo in a future video. Thanks for the feedback!
@@MikePeaceWoodturningmakes sense..thanks..I must have missed that mention in the video...👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Mike. I've seen these beading tools many times and have never bought one because I never thought I would use it enough to get my money's worth. Other than the basket weave use, which I can see is essential to use one, can you give us some ideas on cool stuff to do with them? I love to embellish my work but I have always subscribed to the principal; "Less is More". Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
I know now that I have them, I am sure you will see me using them on projects that call for small beads like alonng the top rim of a bowl, inside and bottom of a box.
Be great for CWT newsletter tip of the month for September- can you grab a still or two and write it up for me? Just a paragraph or two?
I'd still put a handle on it.
Certainly an option but there is no leverage needed when used properly. The manufacturer demonstrates their use in his booth at shows without a handle. Harvey Meyer is a msster of their use and he does not use a handle. A handle just makes them harder for me to store since this tool goes in a drawer to keep from banging the the tip.
