I've been turning wood for nearly 35 years and seen a lot of tutorials on VHS tapes at first and on TH-cam for quite a while. Your approach to turning and sharing knowledge is probably the best I've seen during that time. Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this - subbed and will be looking at other videos as time allows. All the best from the UK.
Thanks and sorry for butchering your English with my W. TX accent.
Hey, no criticism from me, my friend. I understood all you said and will spend some time looking at more of your videos. Just because we get older, doesn't mean we should stop trying to learn and good teachers like you make learning easier.
What oil do you put on your bowls
Loved this video
Brandon, he's using "milk paint", for the paint. He says he "oils" them, then finishes them with paste wax on the outside. I am guessing his oil is a mineral oil, but he doesn't actually say that anywhere.
Now this. This is no nonsense, no bullshit teaching. Straight to the point with every minute informative and direct. Excellent.
Thanks
Completely agree. I was just thinking about a comment like this because it's amazing how useless TV shows are at teaching compared to watching this master. This is just so much better!
Ya, who wants to listen so some one trying to be an amature entertainer,... not.
My only question is whether the footage is real. Sure they fired a nuclear canon, and sure there is footage of buildings and trees being vaporized, but did they happen on the same test. If not, it is fake.
How I went from looking up ideas for a table saw workbench to watching a hour long video about making bowls I don't know. I just did though. Damned internet can be distracting. Also I now want a lathe.
rabbit holes....
LLB LLB yep it happens.. recently found a bunch of used tools for a great price, including a lathe and its tools. Inpick them up next week, I am so excited!
Thats exactly how I ended up with a lathe in my garage!
you're not the only one who wants a lathe now
lol ! I pretty much did the same thing !
It's 2am. How I ended up here, I have no idea !
But this was fascinating. I couldn't stop watching.
I don't care if I'm late for work. It was worth it.
Thanks

I have to make another comment because I like this guy so much. I remember years ago i knew a fellow who made stained glass. He worked alone in a warehouse loft turning out beautiful, awe-inspiring glass panels. Cathedral quality. And he would work like a dog seven days a week and was poor as church mouse because he couldnt find a market. One day he scaled down his beliefs and made small, practical, useful stained glass items and he didnt remain poor for long. The idea for a woodworker or anyone else is to use the skills you love to be practical for cash. If you can create 25 lovely spoons or cups per day using manual and power tools to cut time, whats wrong with that? Save the longest and hardest work for yourself, your family, your soul. For the rest, get them out the door fast and support yourself well.
yep
I have no plans to make bowls for profit. That said... I learned more from this video about turning a bowl than any other I have seen on you tube. Thanks so much for posting!!
Great, and thanks.
I want to turn a bowl myself one day! I dont have access to any wood so im just turning firewood at the moment..I really hope I will find some wood here in norway soon! :) thanks for the video, its was nice to watch a "simpler" explanation
Svart-Kvit buy an axe, find a forest, cut trees.
Check out his video on free wood. He explains every step of the process. From finding to drying. This channel is very informative.
It's like drinking with your best friend who can't stop talking but everything they say is awesome.
A zillion people will love this vid because he is so practical and sensible. Purists love to wax on about "craft" but they dont know how to make a dime at it. They say, "well, i gotta have $35 for that spoon cuz i got 10 hours in it!" They dont sell it and cant figure out that common folks cant pay for something on that basis. This fellow figured out how to take the tools he has and put into the market a product he CAN do fast and well--and get paid. His isnt the first or last video on the topic of artistry vs. business but its probably the best. People can learn a lot from this and apply the same principles to whatever they do. I never met an artist who didnt like money. Here is how.
10 hours into a wooden spoon, lol haha.
So true, so true
Thanks
Great guy for demonstrating so much in a short video. I think you underestimate how easy this is to do. You sure know your tools and use clever grinds on your lathe chisels, most of which ain't cheap. You're a humble & helpful guy, and your work seems worth the prices.
Suddenly I find myself nearly 70, some 50 years ago I did some wood turning as part of an apprenticeship and have always threatened to take it up, now bricklaying and construction hurts too much so this seems to be the time. I don't always like what I see on You Tube but I have watched your tutorial and have to echo previous comments, you seem to have a common sense take on this very hands on, tactile hobby. This is the first time I have been enthused enough to leave a comment, that tells you how much of an impact your knowledge and enthusiasm has had on a man old enough not to be easily impressed, thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Same situation here. I did some turning back in the sixties then Vietnam and then life got in my way. I picked up a lathe a couple of years ago and then cancer from my time in Vietnam took a year from me.
Fixin to start turning again and I’m so glad I found this channel.
Thanks.
@@papasteve215 You've been busy....with nam and life and cancer. Hope ya get better and stay healthy..
This guy makes it looks easy and quick...
Cheers
Fantastic tuition, I'm 63 and have been working wood all my life.
Really enjoyed learning from you.
Thank you for all you are and all that you do.
I know nothing about wood turning, i'm a wood carver.. But, i just set here and watched this hole thing. You are about the best i have saw explaining what your doing and how you do it ?? It does take a lot of tool to do what you do, having the right tool and knowing HOW to use them makes a difference for sure... YOUR THE MAN..
Thanks
Probably the best made video on this subject. Clear and precise. Thank you .
Thanks
I learned so much from this video. about batching things out, about the saved time by doing all of the same step at the same time... And that I need to make a sled fro my bandsaw!
Yes, yes you do. You'll love it.
I also definitely need to make that sled
At around 18 minutes in the video the 70's stripper music starts, it morphed into 70's TV cop-show music. Makes me smile and laugh. Thanks for your videos. You have a natural teaching ability. Texas Strong!
Great common sense on making bowls to sell. I had a booth at a church bazaar, there was only one other woodturner there who was selling really beautiful, high-end art bowls for high dollars. I said a ton of nice but cheap bowls and made a nice profit, whereas he didn't sell one of his high-priced bowls. I admire those beautiful high-end bowls but they have a limited market. You have a great approach, great attitude and I really like your explanations in this video. Thanks!
I’m new to woodworking and don’t even have a lathe yet, but I am interested in it. I was impressed by the way you explained everything and the techniques you displayed. I watched the entire video and subscribed and liked. Thank you for taking the time to make videos like these. Very informational. Hook’em Horns !!! 🤘🏼
I have watch this video 1 jear ago…. now that i watch it again, i still love it like the first time.
Keep up the good work
There is nothing more pleasant than seeing a true master of carpentry doing such a beautiful job. A tutorial with a high level of explanation is a true gift from heaven.
After retiring from 40 years of aviation mechanic work including sheet metal. I have found something to peak my creative interest again. Hope you don’t mind being my silent instructor.
At 21 minutes you said to feel the bowl that it wasn't smooth but I tried several times and it felt smooth I did how ever get finger prints all over my screen .😁
Wow! I can't think of enough adjectives. Informative, entertaining, pragmatic and practical. Thanks for this.
Thanks
Awesome tutorial. No bullshit, no hype, just practical information. Well done, sir.
Thanks
Really great information. Been turning for thirty years, and I still learn something new from others. Yours taught me a lot more. Thanks.
Oh wow, I was so captivated the whole time that I didn’t realize till now that the video was 51 minutes
time theif
Me too!
Holy crap it felt like 10 mins
Ha I was think - what do you mean it was 51 minutes?! Great video. Dementia has robbed my Dad of any memory of turning bowls. He did beautiful work and I wish I had paid attention more. Now I have stared at the lathe for the past year and have started to watch 51 minute videos about it at 4 AM. 🤷♀️
I’m about to ask for my first lathe for my 30th bday and the amount of research I’ve been doing is unparalleled lol. I’ve been researching all facets from what HP to what chuck to what tools. I stumbled upon this video and got 35min in and it was as if I watched 5min. I don’t think you could be any more “real” if you tried lol. I love it. This was super informative and easy to understand if one is willing to keep the information. Again, I just appreciate the real ness of it all. It’s down to earth and selling product is a big deal (at least to me as a “flat” wood worker lol) and this was a great way to understand the quickness and fair price range as well as just being informative in general pertaining to turning. I’ve learned so much in SUCH a short time. That being said, I’m severely disappointed that I watch ALL THAT and you couldn’t be bothered to show the final product after wax / polish!!!!!!!!!!! But other than that, great job man!
You saw the finished product before watching the video. Check out the thumbnail.
Great teaching video! As others have said, you cut to the chase and don't waste any time giving us the nuts and bolts and relevant information we need. Well done! Artist, craftsman and teacher. thanks so much!
I like your style.
61 years ago, I turned a shallow bowl from plywood in high school shop. I was told that couldn't be done so I did it. I also caught my loose sweater in the lathe. Both were lessons.
Thanks
amazing Shawn - wish I would have had more time to watch you work in Oklahoma - you made this video fly by with TONS of information!!
Thanks Nick. Long form ain't that popular but it's where I think I do the most good. Time will tell....
You, sir, are a really great teacher. You’ve learned a skilled craft using fairly basic tools, and you have passed it on with excellent explanation. Thank you for your obvious desire to teach. Hopefully one day, I can add a lathe to my shop equipment. Thanks again for the video.
Thanks
The last time I turned anything was a shop class in high school. Now that I am medically retired, I have been looking for something to take up some time. You can only binge watch so much TV. I am thinking of trying this out. It looks like a lot of fun.
go for it
My first thought was "Why does it take 52 minutes to explain how to make a bowl in 20 minutes?" Then I watched. The details and sensible explanations were SO worth the time. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Brilliant. You were able to cut all the crap taught by the artisans at the wood turning club.
Thanks
I greatly enjoyed this video. Your words and sentences are extremely well-formed, so that I never once had to say, "Huh?" Nor did I ever have to backtrack and listen a second time to figure out what you meant. This is a very rare skill.
You are diligent, knowledgeable, and innovative, and I would estimate that you are among the top 1% to 2% of the population in intelligence.
I thank you for producing such good videos and hope that you prosper.
Lastly, thanks for your remarks to the Safety Police (12:55). They can ruin every woodworking video on the web and should be confined to teaching pre-school.
I'll probably never make a wooden bowl in my whole life, but they guy was such a great teacher, i had to watch the whole video.
Thanks
Cannot stop watching this! You sir, are setting up others for success. What an effective teacher you are! You have a new old lady subscriber from San Francisco bay area!
Thank you very much for this instructive video. Great job !!!
Thanks
Rock n’ Roll make those Bowls.
Great Tutorial, Thank You 😊
This is the longest video I’ve watched on TH-cam from start to finish. Very instructional without giving useless information. Learned a few things and wasn’t bored. Great video.
Thanks
Thank you for a great video. It taught me a lot. I am a beginner bowl turner. I've only turned one bowl at this point in time and your method of teaching bowl turning is increased my confidence level tremendously.
Wow! That was the shortest 52 minute video I've ever watched! You held my attention the whole time. I really appreciate you taking time to create this educational video!
GREAT JOB!
Thanks
Thanks
10 minutes in and I'm subscribed, I can tell everything I'll ever need to know about turning I'll find on this channel.
Thanks but there's lots more good out there too.
My wife and I just watched this on a recommendation from my Dad. Great videos! I can see why he has been telling me about your channel!
hi just started wood turning but have been making bowls by hand for about six years,i really love it and should have started sooner to save myself alot of headaches and chisels,but when i turned my first bowl...WOW...i have a good teacher wich made it easier i took to it quite easy and after 30mins was away on my own...so no more cramp in my fingers when chiseling out a bowl...love your vids they are really informative.
Those bowls are great! Thanks for sharing these tips!
Thanks
Great video. I will offer a couple of ideas I use in case it helps others. I use a 2" forstner bit to drill each blank and set that on my chuck rather than a screw drive - the hole takes the same time to drill and it's quicker to load and unload from the chuck. I also set my bandsaw table at about 20 degrees and quickly cut the blank round - this saves about half the time in roughing out the outside shape and no banging cuts. Hope that helps.
You're a gifted teacher Shawn! Thank you for making this video! The tips and tricks you shared are obviously the product of years of experience. Thanks again!
Thanks
Great instructional video!! Really like the way the milk paint is applied, sanded and oiled for a great finish. Thanks for sharing.
A very enjoyable experience. this guy should be on a network.
Thanks
Nice. I've never been very good at making money from my woodworking, but the boats I built are a great way to relax after a long week.
sounds like enjoyable woodworking to me.
I absolutely love your videos. Your knowledge, explanations, illustrations, and intent are superb. Prior to accidentally coming across your video on collecting lumber I was totally blank to most everything you share and now you have helped me to find a new set of things to work toward. Thanks.
Lots of teachers here on youtube and I thank them all - but this guy is the best I've seen. He talks a lot! But it is wall-to-wall meaningful practical advice. He is probably at this a long time but it doesn't prohibit him from seeing things from the perspective of the novice; therefore he is a great teacher.
Thanks
wish I had you as a shop teacher when younger.
Really like your "forthright" manner!!
Thanks
About 30 years ago, taught pen turning for Shopsmith. Never got to turn bowls. You have inspired me to try. Thanks for sharing your craft. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to trying.
That was a really good tutorial. I honestly would’ve never thought about using that type of paint and I’ve never seen jaws that large for a chuck. I’m glad I took the time to watch this
Dude, I loved this turning video. Your great! Really good teacher.
Thanks
I'm not a turner, but I love your video. (and your attitude)
Thanks
Always got a lot of respect for any engineer/craftsman who is happy to not hoard "trade secrets". Loads of great tips there, credit to you!
Thanks
Just browsing around TH-cam checking out workbench videos and here I am after an hour long video on bowl turning thinking about using my lathe for more than bats... Subscribed. Excellent tutorial.
Thanks
Sam Kinison on bowls.
can't tell if you're saying I'm preachy, high or just fat.
wortheffort lol
Worththeeffort: You at times in the video remind me of the ex-Rev. The resemblance is in your face. nice Video. Thumbs up!
I like him...some wood guys on TH-cam are pretentious !@#$%^&* $
Billy Mays. Nice vid on marketing tho.
“Yo bro, how’d you get those oddly large traps?”
“Lathe-master 3000.”
Great video. No BS straight to the point. I have turned bowls and boxes and miscellaneous but have now decided to wood work full-time. This is a great video on how to crank out a bunch of product to pay for my shop. Thanks for lending your time and knowledge ✊💪🇺🇸
Watched with my 8 year old grandson. He loved it, as I did too. You're the best. Thank you.
Thanks
Would like to see close ups of finished product
How did I just sit and watch a 50 minute video. I have ADHD. didn’t know it was possible lol
Thanks
Same for my spouse! I didn't tell him it would be 50 minutes on purpose, then forgot until it was over.
Making the smaller things that you can move bulk amounts of will always make more money than making one large thing that you may take time moving. I’ve always said this and it keeps proving itself time and time again. Great video.
More work for a little less money consistently.
I don't even work with wood (but I would if I had room) and I watched the entire vid! For every craftsperson passing through; if you have plans to ell some of your work always, always, ALWAYS have a piece that can be mass-produced and relatively inexpensive to buy. It can save your butt! Not everyone is looking for fine detail or flashy finishes. These are great as a reminder for a day spent with friends at a market, crafts fair, harvest festival, church bazar, etc. Great job!
Thank you for this, learned a lot. What type of oil are you using?
I use walnut oil from the grocer because it's cheap and fully cures in a few days.
wortheffort thank you.
I am allergic to nuts . Does that matter?
Patty, I'm no expert on allergies, but I would say 'yes, it probably matters.' My favourite is Watco Danish Oil. It's a mixture of linseed oil and varnish. It penetrates, and hardens over time. The outside is still essentially raw wood, that you can re-oil anytime you like, but it hardens on the inside, and gets harder and harder over time. I have some solid wood furniture that I made about 20 years ago, and all I have ever done to it is oil it. Now, it is hard as marble, but can still be cleaned up with a bit of oil, and the grain pops like it's brand new.
Having said that, oil is oil...... kind of. There are oils - like linseed - that penetrate well. And there are sometimes blends - like Watco, and others - that are linseed and varnish. But, basically, oil is oil. Linseed is a vegetable oil. Why not canola oil? Why not flax seed oil? Worth The Effort says he uses walnut oil. Why not take a jar of peanut butter, open it up, pour the oil off, and use that? I've never used canola oil, or peanut oil, but I have used olive oil, and I have used single grade motor oil. Motor oil is vegetable oil - maybe with a bit of dinosaur mixed in. Lol. Both worked well. And, because oil is oil, if you try some kind of oil, and don't like it for some reason, you can simply go over it with another oil. I'll always use Watco Oil as my main stay, but I'd be interested in trying avocado oil, or coconut oil. Why not? Finish your stuff with avocado oil, and sell it at the market, marketed as 100% natural. It could be a winner! Lol.
Steve, I am looking at a foot of new, heavy snow, so before I die of shovelling, I want to say hi and thank you for your comment. I love helping my son in his woodworking shop, so I totally appreciate wood grain popping, we love finishes and paints and we have a couple of wonderful books about wood finishes, about varnish, wiping varnish, urethanes, etc. I can't remember our favorite finishes...Waterlox, is one for doors and floors. As I read your comment, I had to laugh because I am also allergic to flax/linseed oil, walnut oil, peanut oil, ...I really appreciate your experiences with different oils, and after I deal with this heavy snow, if I am still breathing, I will come back to your advice. You know, this has alerted me to be cautious of wooden bowls in general.
We had a job last year of painting slices of dried oak which were art pieces. They were sawn slices of trees, dried and sanded into wavy discs that looked like large flower petals and shallow wavy plates. We used car paints...Kandy, with a laborious process of enhancing the drama of the wood rings witha white dye , then sprayed transparent Kolor base coats, then the Kandy Klear coats, with sanding between coats, then buffing, until they looked like jewels. Looking into the surface you could see the tree rings glowing. We had to stop because the paint began to develop a crack sometimes in the very center of the wood plates, and we would have to sand the whole thing down and redo it. We could not get a reliable process. But believe me, those things were really beautiful when they came out right. We just could not afford to do it because of the demand for perfection and the chancy nature of the wood.
What do you do with all the shavings, thats the problem i have right now
you can bag em up and give em away at markets but most of the time I donate it to the land fill to help with decomposition and soil development.
You could also use it as tinder if you have a fire place or fire pit
wortheffort
You can also bag them up and sell them as an 'all natural' mulch, soil additive, worm farm medium, or compost additive (as a brown material, which nobody ever has enough of in the summer). Can't use home depot shavings or sawdust because of all the pressure-treated stuff.
Love the video. Keep it up!
Mart you can’t mix them in resin and turn it and get a cool result
You can also mix it with wax and sell them as fire starters.
Always to learn to share with others....WOW! You have a big heart and are a great person. Thank you
Awesome content, sir! You have the one-man operation efficiency down to a science! The no-nonsense approach really appeals to my style, and I took away a lot of great information...thanks!
Being green wood, there is no worry of cracking or warping?
Thin and even is the key as there will be no more stress in one area than another.
Thank you for your reply. I will give it a try with less worries.
@@wortheffort I love this tutorial and all of your videos! By the time you get to putting finish on about how much moisture would you say is still in the wood?
"You really want to have some kind of protection on your hands to protect from the hot shavings' steam."
*Proceeds to have entire forearm covered in shavings*
Great quick bowls. :)
They cool off by the time they reach arm. It's that part right below your knuckle that gets slow cooked. Thanks.
Ah, makes sense! I have no experience using a lathe, so that's good to know.
Now, that I watched the video entirely, it is more like a tutorial, how to push wood turning to a next professional level. There is so mutch information, I have to match two or three times to get it. Great job.
Very refreshing to get straight instruction and no nonsense. Woodturning videos are plagued by old codgers who waffle on for hours and actually explain nothing. Good work.
Shhhh... I'm an old codger too. Also, Thanks!
A GREAT video but you did NOT show the final finished/polished product??????
Sebastopolmark look at the video thumbnail or my Instagram acct.
A dollar a minute isn't bad.
I'ts not great, but not bad. You won't get rich.
Your such a good instructor thank you for your time in making this video, I’ve watched multiple times and have had a difficult time making a successful bowl. I’m not giving up I’m gonna do this! Your video continues to encourage me to thank you sir
Love the speed tips and tricks...but also the masterful control of the bowl gouge...Great results.
I'm an aspiring woodworker and the first 6 minutes have shown me more tips and condensed information than in other wood "Noob tuterials" that are close to 30 minutes and spread out through their channels. Thank you for, well making a great video and informative start.
Well done, appreciate the details of the raw wood you select. Much info on selling. Bowls are so lovely.
Best bowl turning vid I've ever seen! Thank you!
Have never turned or really worked with wood in my life but have wanted to try forever so yesterday I picked up a harbor freight mini lathe for 30 bucks off of market place and now I'm here on youtube trying to learn something,this one video alone has got me excited and you got my sub,love it and thanks for sharing.
Aside from learning a great deal about wood that I previously didn't even think about I love the enthusiastic simplicity in your presentation. Thanks so much.
Thanks
This is what TH-cam is all about. I don’t own any of these machine, I don’t have a workshop. I’m living in an apartment and don’t have any way of making this, but I’m still watching it.
Awesome video
Thanks
i'm a garage turner, only a few weekends of experience, was thinking of attempting my first small bowl (because i have a small lathe) and this was easily THE MOST helpful thing i could've watched, you have a very clear precise way of explaining your process, the reason for your process, and I wanted to take the time to thank you very much. as someone who's just got very limited knowledge this was incredibly helpful!
Thanks, I also have a "Woodturning Demystified" video out there if interested.
I do the same thing. I'm a hobbyist turner and sell my pieces locally at my farmer's market more or less to fund my hobby. Maybe a secondary revenue stream after retirement but right now I sell things pretty cheap as I say, just to fund my 'habit'. More importantly, I agree completely with your perspective. I'll make dozens and dozens of these every year...cheap enough that I charge what I call 'silly money'. Meaning...their so cheap that my customers are reaching into their wallets/purses without even thinking about it.
*thanks for putting so much time into making a video to save peoples time. id say it was worth the effort*
I want to thank you deeply for this video ! I'm just getting into wood working over the past few months and this has been BY FAR THE best teaching video I've seen! ......Thank you. I've seen a couple of your videos but this is the one that made me subscribe!👍👍👍
Thanks
I'm a hobbyist, but people are buying my stuff. I so enjoy your channel
I'm just starting to learn wood turning, and feel like I just watched a video that has so many lessons to keep in mind for just about any project, as in, bulk processing steps, constantly think about ways to cut down time, and so many others. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thanks
I appreciate your attention to detail. I, pretty much, understood the concept of what you were doing. Thank you 😊
Thanks
Really cool video, tons of good information from basic turning process to batching processes to market trends. Seriously one of my favorite channels on youtube! Keep them coming.
Thanks
Your experience and skill shines through in this video, thank you.
I have recently started watching wood turning and resin projects. This is one of the most interesting and educational videos I have watched in this genre. Thanks so much!
Thanks
I don't turn, but my husband does. I love the art of wood becoming something special. He also does other crafts and I do scroll sawing and wood, small stuff. We do it for fun and gifts. We have not put up any for sale as of this point , Maybe this summer. Thank you for a great lesson.
Thanks
Thank you for giving away your hard earned secretes! More people should be like you.Thank you again!
Nothing secret, centuries old knowledge.
Some people are born teachers, and you are definitely one of them. Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks
Greetings from Port Arthur, TX. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, I'm new to turning and don't have anyone nearby to learn from. Keep up the good work!
