Nice bowls Sam. Is there a chance you could do a tutorial on drying first turned bowls in a microwave. Talking about size, thickness, pith, etc. and whether or not it’s Ok to use your house microwave. Thanks and Merry Christmas
Such excellent teaching! I own a circa 1970 rockwell 4-speed (manual) lathe 46-111. Slowest speed is about 940rpm. Is this okay as a minimum for all work you demonstrated?
Also…since a bowl gouge can “cut” while a scraper can only “scrape” (is this true?), why ever use a scraper? And would you say for a maximum 8-10” diameter bowl, would you say if you had only two tools would they be a 1/2” fingernail bowl gouge and a 1/2” bottom feeder? Or…?
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Sam!

Very nice, another great video, how long did you microwave these bowls, what brand is your 3/4" gouge?

For those wondering, no two walnuts are identical, nor were any squirrels harmed in the making of this video.
