That was full of great information. I found it interesting that bowl turning is less common in Croatia. North America has far too many bowl turners who are afraid of spindle turning and a skew. But there are other tools than the skew. Mike Hosaluk is very much do what it takes to get your project done. Sure, that's okay as long as you're improving and moving further forward in the finish off the tool. That's my opinion. Regarding actual learning, your advice is correct. Close attention to the technique. No obnoxious music (I like a lot of it but some it too much and too loud), real time turning where there is something to learn. I must say that I appreciate your video and audio quality. I wish a few of your four ways group would improve their video and audio. It's been unchanged for years. About shallow chucking points, it's been so eye opening to understand them. Eventually I'll convince one friend that he doesn't need 25mm deep tenon in his shark jaws. I have a question for the next Q&A video. I have a midi lathe sitting on my work bench. I cannot secure it down because I need to be able to change the angle for different uses, such as hollowing a bowl or spindle turning, since I can only get certain angles from my chair. I get vibration quite badly, especially with anything over 225mm, diameter even when thin. Did you encounter much vibration with your old Record Power and how did you reduce it? I know to make the surface true and level. What else should I check to improve it? Thank you for any suggestions. Great video, Tomislav!
Jay, I’m an even newer turner in that I’m still in the market for a lathe. Curious which midi lathe you’ve got? I know one important aspect is just weight of the lathe for stability, a challenge for some of the midis. I like your observations about the different channels, methods etc. I’ve found in woodworking in general, once you find people who are the best at their craft (not necessarily the most viewers by a long shot!) you want to stick w those teachers, ie. Richard, Tomislav, and some others. Some channels that don’t have speaking and add music can be ok but less instructional. It’s like they’re trying to be impressive but may not answer questions. Anyway, I’m sure you’re gonna do well in your turning trajectory.
@victoryak86 It's got to be difficult to keep a channel interesting without turning to showmanship, but these are the guys to learn from. The rest are entertaining. It's all good. I now have a Laguna 12|16. Biggest upgrades it had for me was the power and reverse. Indexing has been nice and the bed extension and outboard turning kit were invaluable.
@@jayscott306 thanks for that helpful information. I’m also interested in the Lagunas as a good option. I tend to fall into the paralysis of analysis when searching for a new tool. So many options which is a nice problem in some ways. The thing is so many lathes look amazing in pictures but I suppose until you try ‘em it’s hard to evaluate. That’s why I’ve been seeking out opinions such as yours, Tomislav, and others, as a way of “looking under the hood so to speak. Thanks again. It’s an encouragement as I’ll get started to have more experienced folks to learn from. Best, Chris

I'll tell ya what. I work with a lot of very dry spalted Maple. Sometimes I get a good finish with the gouge. And sometimes not. And it takes a lot of sanding to get the desired finish. Those people who say the 180 grit thing are full of you know what! Anybody that works with wood on a regular basis knows that. Also, I really like your Q and A session's. Very truthful and informative. Keep up the good work. I do have a question. Would you mind explaining your price point for your bowls. I use the diameter ×the depth method. Then there's a multiplier based on the wood type, the grain, the finish etc. You know, like 2.5 or something like that. I do have a system that I go by. How about you.? Thanks.
Tomislav, thanks for sharing your turning story. Do you sell your turnings at craft fairs in Croatia? Love the foot design on the bottom of your bowls. Thx Rich
Thank you Rich for question, I do not sell it on markets or fair, don't have the time to go there, everything I sell is through Facebook and instagram commision or via email.... Soo I have to made web site as well☺️
Maybe a silly question, when doing spindle work almost everything repeatable is done with a story stick or story board; especially needed when furniture or architectural parts are of a complicated design. what tricks do you you use if you are making, say sets of salad bowls of complicated design, comparable to a story stick. I am talking about the more complicated designed bowls, not the more cookie cutter type production bowls.. thanks for you videos..
Both paternal Grandparents were from Croatia - long gone now (I'm 73 years old). Recently ran across your turning videos. Really enjoy them.
Thank you very much 🤗, hope you had a chance to visit Croatia?
Thank you very much for watching 🤗
Hvala vam puno! I hope I am saying that right. I really appreciate you sharing your learning and your techniques. Thank you!
You said it right😉 Hvala Vama puno for watching and support what I do ☺️

Dobar dan Tomislav, thanks for all the videos. Love your techniques, information sharing, and opinions! The game is curling🙂
Dobar dan Mike, thank you for kind words and support 🤗 from where do you know dobar dan expresion?😉

@@mikestockard8675 lovely, glad to hear that.... Thank you very much for watching
I like the base of your bowls that the the base is curved not flat. Greetings from Tasmania.
Thank you, I like curved ones as well....😉
I really love watching your videos, and this was very informative. What grit do you usually sand your bowls to?
Thank you very much 😀, I sand up to 240 or 340, depends on use.
Don't find a need to go higher grit.
Like those bottom rims: elegant yet restrained.
Thank you very much 🤗

I'll put your question on Q&A next week.... Should be interesting for many turners . Thank you for question 😉
