I hadn't turned anything in over three years, and found myself once again watching your videos to regain my confidence. Thanks again Mike. Starting another lidded box tomorrow morning.
I've only been turning for about a month now. All your beginners guides have been extremely valuable to my turning education and this video is right up there with them! Thank you Mike! Safe turning.
Very informative and interesting. I got so engrossed watching and learning that my coffee got cold. I am self taught and I always pick up a tip or two every time i watch you. Thanks again and i will now rewarm my coffee!
I'm just starting to learn how to turn wood & was struggling with the issue of how to hollow end grain. And there was your video! Excellent info. It addressed many of the questions & challenges I was having. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for live speed examples. All the high-speed footage everyone does makes it look like you can move so much faster than you actually can. It's much easier to learn when someone such as yourself gives us the instruction at actual speed of cut. Also, is it just me, or does anyone else blow at the screen trying to clear the chips and dust? I just realized I was doing it and it made me wonder.
Hi Thomas, I am guilty of fast speed videos when turning a piece, but not with what I would call a tutorial, such as this. As far as the blowing the dust away ... I really don't know about other people .. but I know I do! ;) take care Mike
Good Video. I am glad you used the round nose scraper and explained its use. I've always thought my 1/2'' round nose scraper was useless until you explained how to use it properly. Thanks.
Very many thanks Mike. I very much appreciate your teaching approach. It is not hurried and gives time to really understand the techniques you are demonstrating. Thanks again, Russell
I bought my first lathe 2 weeks ago. I have been watching videos constantly to learn, and you are one of the best teachers! I am concentrating on the correct tools, sharpening methods, and presenting the chisel to the wood properly, of course safety first! I bought a 10x18 lathe, face shield, 8 piece harbor freight lathe HSS chisel set ($65. U.S., inexpensive, but I want to learn to sharpen correctly with this set), and a really good chuck, a Nova Precision Midi.I also bought a Rockler full size round carbide tool ($75 on sale! LOL). My first project was a spindle, creating various cuts. Second project, I made a wooden hammer. Third project was a pencil cup. I really enjoy turning, and videos like yours help us beginners to see how things are done RIGHT. I bought a Wolverine grinding system with a Vari-grind jig. That gets here tomorrow. No more turning until I sharpen these tools. (I bought the carbide tool to keep going, LOL). Looking forward to the explanation between the spindle and bowl gouges! Thanks again! ~Rusty
Good tips about forester bits Mike. So many times I've seen people go straight in with a large bit and wind up up with it burned and blunt or stuck in the wood. Great video once more. Nice to see you at Harrogate. The Yorkshireman.
very informative mike. It's always good to catch up on the basics of wood turning. I think sometimes we get a little ramy and need to slow up and think a little bit. Keep bringing basics up once in a while. Thanks for the video.
I need to master my sharpening I'm doing it by hand but my tools are not as good as they should be . Always a pleasure to watch your video's thank you .
Thanks for making this great video. I am experienced with woodworking but a complete novice at turning. I want to make some small boxes and this helped me tremendously
Great tutorial. This is technique that I have not yet learned. I'm still a shameless scraper and I've got a lot of sanding to do every time. Thanks Mike!
Awesome instructional video. I bought a second hand lathe recently and don't have any bowl tools et, just spindle and this will open up a few more crafts to me. Many thanks for the time, effort and information Mike!
Mike, I really appreciate your way commenting the various techniques to us. The channels (NZ-woodtuning and Makers Central do not work (channel does not exist error) Wish you a great chrismas time from Austria
+Christian Neumann Hi Christian, thanks for your kind words and the heads up regarding the links, fixed and working now :). Merry Christmas to you too mate. Cheers Mike
Thanks very informative video on hollowing and best of all the hope hollowing tool as the wife has one on order for Christmas for me, keep the videos coming Mike
As a newby and someone having problems with hollowing end grain, I found the vid quite informative. I agree with George Whitfield in that most demos are too quick, we need to understand the set up such as tool rest height, speed etc, so thank you.
One of the best, Mike. Great techniques and beautifully executed. I’m going to recommend this to our new members as mandatory watching. Well done, Mate.
Love the tutorials. I have started turning on a low end lathe and find I use a combination of the carbide tipped and standard HSS tools. I really liked the tutorial on the skew chisel and I am practicing that per your video. Wish I could add a picture of one of my small lidded boxes I am making for Christmas gifts this year. I can do these thanks to your video tutorials. Thanks again! Scott in Harwood, MD, USA
Luvin your tips for a beginner like me Mike. I'm about to start a project involving turning some Jarrah into a set of Port goblets. Now I know how to go about hollowing out the bowls. Cheers, Noel
I made my first lidded box using some tips from your video and it turned out great. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talents with the community! Your didactic method is concise and your quality camera work really helps as well. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words Travis, and I am really pleased that you found the video helpful, and enjoyed your first lidded box turning. Here's to many, many more :) Take care Mike
Thanks for the video with some useful tips. I notice you started the video wearing a T shirt and a heater behind your good self but finished it without the aforementioned heater but now wearing a jacket!!!. I grew up with pine, or deal as we used to call it, as a carpenter and joiner and l like it, when it is properly hand planed and sanded. Keep on rabbiting, l enjoy it. Thanks, Mike. James
Afraid I have no idea whats available up where you are mate. Good hunting though Cheers Mike PS - Might want to contact a few local tree surgeons, just a thought :)
Thanks for that Mike I never thought of using a spindle gouge for hollowing out I normally use a bowl gouge but I'm going to give it a try. Thank you for showing the hollowing from the middle out I was wondering how it was done looks like I have a lot to practice now
Thank u again Mike? That was great info. I makes feel so good knowing that iam goin on the right way about things with out even knowing. Then watich you confirmedi must be doin something right for once. Cheers again from Australia and me Matt
Another great tutorial Mike, just what the doctor ordered for this beginner! only yesterday I tried hollowing out end grain on a glued up blank of segmented stathes similar to one of your earlier videos, and got into a real right mess to the point where I must admit I became disheartened, however you've just helped regain my confidence! I'm sure the RIGHT tool and the RIGHT way will now give me better results - I ain't giving up !! so thank you again for another video into my tutorial folder, cheers, Tony (from uk)
Thank you! I’m just learning Woodturning and this video addressed some of the problems I just experienced. Starting my next piece tomorrow and I’ll be following these very helpful guidance. Thanks again!
Newbie here. Long road ahead. I'm in the 'soak' up allinfo I can. I was still stumbling with hollowing, I think I'll be able to put your teaching to use. Thanks.........
Great informative video Mike, I don't particularly like end grain hollowing but some projects require it, I'm teaching a class this weekend to turn a captive ring goblet and hollowing end grain is the part I'm dreading beginners doing.. last thing I want them to do is get a catch and throw the blank across the floor 😬 Cheers Rob
Great demo Mike! I liked the way you showed the position of the various tools you used. I'm making some small birdhouses, I'll have to give a couple of those methods a try. Well except for the Forstner bit, that's what I'm using now. Cheers, Rich
Thanks again Mike , I endorse the comment about slowly showing the tool angles etc. Very useful. I also notice you have put the guards back on the grinder. Regards Mike the grinder ( g3pga)
Thanks Mike! I'm making a knock for the coffee machine in our college staff room, and this may be just what I need to turn up a drum to tap out our grounds into. :-) Yes, the wood teachers live there, but it's assessment time and they're all way too busy.
Thanks Mike, very informative. I use the three step Forstner bit method for making boxes, and will experiment with the other methods for making Goblets. :)
Good, helpful advice and tips, Mike. I can see this helping lots of turners. My preference is for spindle gouges - I've not had much success with carbide yet, but I haven't tried my Simon Hope 6mm carbide tool yet (only bought it in September...sigh...). Cheers!
Thanks Mike. I love the 6 mm carbide for end grain. You can soon hog some wood out. I've not tried using it at 45 degrees though. Will have to give that a go.
Good informative vid, yet again. It answered my question which had asked elsewhere re. Forstner bits. BTW there are some very good vids on sharpening Forstner bits.
Hi Mike !! Great little tutorial. If you can do it on that horrible piece of wood , you can do it on anything. Glad you enjoyed Harrogate , you should go to Yandles and I could come along and try some dry humour on you😉. All my very best !!! Andy
Hi Mike I am going to be hollowing tomorrow on attending my next professional training day so this was really useful...... let’s see how it goes.. Kevin
Yes , that is the better way , as a woodturner I use a bowl gouge cutting towards the center against the grain , here the spindle gouge works along the grain , in a softer , more efficient and less stressful way for the chuck , I do it also with other tools in the end but the spindle gouge allows you to do all the work down to the end , well , I'll try it although I'm a bit scared...thank you !
I'm just learning to do this, I can do the outside cuts beautifully but every time I try to hollow out it just chatters and vibrates so bad the wood piece comes out of the chuck and flies across the room. I fell as though I'm missing something very simple but also very important.
I watched your beginners guide and went out and bought a hobby lathe eight weeks ago. Christmas presents sorted, boxes, ring trays with milliput inlay now making a lamp with epoxie resin. thanks Mike. I'm hooked
I think after being on my woodturning course yesterday and trying to learn hollowing... I need to watch this a few times more... ha ha It’s not as easy as it looks I now know! But them nothing ever is... Kevin
Watched a video of yours on creating a goblet with three loose rings but can't seem to find it again, what is the name of the tool that is needed to create the rings?Thanks
Nice one Mike. I liked particularly the positioning of the gouge when hollowing, It was 'understandable' (if that is the right expression). I have seen lots of similar vids but the demonstrators go so fast and you don't see clearly what part of the gouge they are starting with and revolving into the cut. I think similay close up vids would be most useful for newbies and not just for gouges, Thanks and hope you will do more similar. Oh by the way, you used a spindle gouge rather than a bowl gouge. I think viewers would like to understand the differences in each type?
Thanks George, appreciate it, and am glad you found the video of some use. I will try and remember to explain the difference between a spindle and bowl gouge in a future video. Cheers Mike
I hadn't turned anything in over three years, and found myself once again watching your videos to regain my confidence. Thanks again Mike. Starting another lidded box tomorrow morning.
I've only been turning for about a month now. All your beginners guides have been extremely valuable to my turning education and this video is right up there with them! Thank you Mike! Safe turning.

Great reminder on how to hollow using traditional tools Mike.
Thank you Lee

I'm just starting to learn how to turn wood & was struggling with the issue of how to hollow end grain. And there was your video!
Excellent info. It addressed many of the questions & challenges I was having. Thank you very much!
Glad you found the video useful Robin, and thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for live speed examples. All the high-speed footage everyone does makes it look like you can move so much faster than you actually can. It's much easier to learn when someone such as yourself gives us the instruction at actual speed of cut.
Also, is it just me, or does anyone else blow at the screen trying to clear the chips and dust? I just realized I was doing it and it made me wonder.
Hi Thomas, I am guilty of fast speed videos when turning a piece, but not with what I would call a tutorial, such as this. As far as the blowing the dust away ... I really don't know about other people .. but I know I do! ;)

Cheers Mike, will be putting this to use soon. Have been turning for a year now and feel confident enough to move onto end-grain work.
Glad you found the video useful.

THANK YOU I just did my first little box tonight…… It was not pretty. So you showed me a lot on endgrain. Much appreciated!

I think after being on my woodturning course yesterday and trying to learn hollowing... I need to watch this a few times more... ha ha
It’s not as easy as it looks I now know! But them nothing ever is...

Watched a video of yours on creating a goblet with three loose rings but can't seem to find it again, what is the name of the tool that is needed to create the rings?Thanks
Hi Jake, the tool I used is a Captive Ring Tool by Crown Tools.
Hope this helps

Nice one Mike. I liked particularly the positioning of the gouge when hollowing, It was 'understandable' (if that is the right expression). I have seen lots of similar vids but the demonstrators go so fast and you don't see clearly what part of the gouge they are starting with and revolving into the cut. I think similay close up vids would be most useful for newbies and not just for gouges, Thanks and hope you will do more similar. Oh by the way, you used a spindle gouge rather than a bowl gouge. I think viewers would like to understand the differences in each type?
Thanks George, appreciate it, and am glad you found the video of some use. I will try and remember to explain the difference between a spindle and bowl gouge in a future video.

Hi mike,did I see you use a tennis ball to steady a goblet? Intrigued!
Hi John, you did indeed, been using that method for a long, long time now :)

I have a cup I want hollow out but I'm hesitant in the depth. What tool is best to hollow out a cup 4" deep.
You could use a 3/8" bowl gouge or a carbide mini hollower, in fact a HSS hollower too Guy.
