Woodturning - Eggs - Using a Skew, a Bedan, a Spindle gouge and a Beading tool

In this video I show four different tools to make wooden eggs. A great project with Easter just around the corner.
Watch to see the complete mess I make of using the skew chisel, a tool I am generally competent with.

Thanks Barry

Always tricky, those corners Dave. The finish with the Bedan looks surprisingly good! 😎

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Thanks Leo! Typically I turned 10-12 more with the skew and no spirals! The Bedan surprised me. I suspect the finish is down to what amounts to a really big bevel to ride on! Thanks for watching, Dave

That just just goes to show that there's more than one way to skin a cat, er, uh, I mean turn an egg. Nice demo Dave!

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Sums up wood turning! Usually one wrong way and many right ways! Thanks!

Thanks Luie

Nice work Dave, I could hear the frustration in your voice at times, been there and know the feels! 😂 Great video and a great selection of eggs!!

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Thanks Tim! I was annoyed with myself but it happens. Most of the eggs in the bowl at the end were turned with a skew and no catches. Turn the camera on and it all went to pot! The Bedan is a really interesting tool though.

[@tfturning]

@@MoleValleyMaker Sods law ay! The bedan certainly looks an interesting tool, I also expected you to use it t'other way up too! 😂 Full of surprises!

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Well, it was the first time I used the Bedan in anger. I'm basing my use on one of Brian Haven's old videos on using Bedans and he said it should be used that way! He also said continental Bedans are used the other way round and made from square stock. I should probably do some more research! It works well for cutting tenons and I guess works a bit like a diamond parting tool as only a small part of the side is in contact with the wood. I have a gauge that fits on it for sizing tenons (I guess)

I appreciated this demo very much! I have been wanting to try the bedan and liked the tool closeups throughout the video. Using oak was a good test too! Thank you for your time to make this! and very nice work!

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Thanks very much for watching and commenting. I have to confess I went back to watch some other videos to make sure I was using the Bedan as intended. I think I am but I think it works either way. Brian Haven has a good video on their use.
