Jon. I am so sorry I did not see this message until today when someone else commented on this video. It is great to hear from you. Did you retire from the Air Force?
I like watching woodworking vids on YT. Very satisfying seeing someone turn a chunk of wood into a piece of art. Yet your vids stand out, Stephen. Not only is your craftsmanship superior to most, your smooth narration and righteous choice of music make your channel worth subscribing. Keep up the great work. I'm a new fan!
Thank you very much for your awesome comments sir. I find them inspiring. Glad you are enjoying my projects and my channel. I started this format a while back and have gotten very good feedback from it. Some people don't like the music though. LOL!
Another sensational project. As a newbie to turning, I appreciate your tutelage and techniques for dealing with different woods, grains, and situations. Well done, Stephen!
Superb video. It was so well explained that it motivated me to do one soon. I'll let you know how it goes. I love your easy laid back way of teaching. Thanks
Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make all of these videos. I've learned so much by watching you work. The final products are incredible, as well. Cheers.
Thank you for another great video Stephen. I took down a cedar tree for a friend just before winter. It was about 28 inch diameter. I have many stacks of cedar bowl blanks in my garage right now. Beautiful stuff.
Hey Stephen, I just watched your video on this large cedar bowl. You really turned a beautiful piece! I especially appreciated your monologue; it was quite educational about cedar and it’s peculiar characteristics. I’m a new wood turner, just about three months now. I’m have contracted ALS and am a little over a year in my diagnosis. This has been very therapeutic for me. Thanks for teaching me some things in this video. 🤗
Just found your channel, and as usual, I learned alot. Your jam chuck looks different from others I've seen. Liked the faceplate centering gizmo. I'll make one today. Cedar is one of my favorites but not necessarily for turning. Thanks for an informative video
Very nice bowl, one of the prettiest I've seen I think. I'm just getting into turning, and I love your videos, I have learned so much from watching your channel. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the excellent work in making and editing the videos. Best of TH-cam!
That is absolutely beautiful and your video was very informative. I'm fairly new to turning and have wondered why I never see people turn aromatic cedar. I turned a few cedar ornaments and bottle stoppers for gifts last Christmas and I loved the colors.
Thank you Christina. I am so glad you enjoyed this project. I do turn a lot of Cedar projects because it is very plentiful in my area and I just love the look you get from it. Thank you for commenting and Take care.
Great looking bowl Mr Ogle... I keep thinking about making "how to" videos but turners like yourself make it so easy to understand I might as well leave it to the experts
Thank you Glyn. I really appreciate your vote of confidence in my channel. I really enjoy producing the videos and think you would also. Oh yeah, How about that Yorkshire Grit shine. Amazing!!
YORKSHIRE GRIT!!!! I love this stuff and use it all the time. It takes forever to use up a tub of it. I've got two tubs of it in the shop and won't swith to any other similar product. Great bowl bud. Very nice video.
Awesome videos! I started out building custom furniture and saw your videos and have moved into wood turning. On my off days from the station, my wife and I are busy every day filling orders for our products. Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and knowledge Iv gotten from you and your videos.
thanks for the "blow by blow" narration of turning the bowl. haven't started yet turning but want to watch as many turner/techniques as I can but at 71 yrs old I need to get going but maybe I'm too old toget into this hobby
Nice smooth work at the lathe. Loved the use of a face shield and actual wood screws rather than drywall screws to mount the face plate. Every step done properly is a good work method and ethic to have. My hat is off to you sir!
Beautiful bowl, Stephen. The blank reminds me of the pen pots you turned a year or so back. Almost 11k views in only 7 days...I'm guessing I'm not the only one watching for new videos from you. Take good care, Gord
Thank you Gord. Yeah, I have not produced many videos within the last few months with my work schedule and trying to finish projects for some shows coming up. But I think I am back on track with my channel and I hope you continue to enjoy my projects. Take care.
Thanks, my daughter brought me two nice cedar pieces. I've never turned cedar and I've been delaying trying it, but now after watching and learning from your video, I'm ready. Well, maybe I'll try sharpening the tools (another task that seems to require skills I haven't got yet) thanks again
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and showing your tool skills P.s the Yorkshire grit is a great product I use it all the time it cuts down on sandpaper and dust😀
Hi Steve I see that the speed on your lathe is 2400rpm,some people who have that same lathe think it is to slow.What do you think?How fast a speed should a lathe Go?Peace Anthony
Hi Stephen, Cracking bowl mate , just beautiful!! I'm a great fan of "yorkshire grit" too brilliant product! Another highly enjoyable video mate! Take care, Bram.
Thank you Bram. I really appreciate it my friend. I think the Yorkshire grit really helps get to the next level of wax finishes. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Enjoyed this video very much. I'm just getting started in woodworking and love the way you narrate what your doing. It helps us newbies understand the process better. Thank you sir!
hello there stephen, great jobe you have done there, very very well done mate , allso this yorkshire grit works very neat as i can see , great vid mate thanks for the share
Nice piece of red cedar, out here you would have to take out a second mortgage to get one that size. I do enjoy turning Cedar (when l can get my hands on a piece) because of it's grain and color. Your bowl looks great, thanks for sharing.
Wow! Beautiful bowl. I'm just getting started on turning, you sure made it look easy. LOL We have a lot of Cedar in Central Texas...guess I'm going to have to start practicing.
Awesome video. Been trying to find good info on finishing cedar ( I turn a lot of it ) but the finishes have given me problems. Now they won’t. Thank you. Great info and narrative on the video.
Love working with cedar myself. Gotta be sparing on it though since, even with my powered filter face shield, the smell still leaves my sinuses on fire! Love the color.
Thank you sir. Cedar really has a great aroma but you are right. It can become irritating. I generally use the 3M cartridge masks. They work really well. Can't even smell the cedar while wearing it.
Looks nice. Some day I want to start turning wood. Just wondering if you could do a video on which order and which tool is specific for what part of the process . Also if you could show/explain how you sharpen your tools. Thanks.
Thank you Ben. I will try to pay more attention to mentioning the tools used in my projects. Here is a playlist of my sharpening methods. th-cam.com/play/PLGsnYf7PysCQb5mjvEG2EQvgrZBIs8_65.html Hope it helps.
Beautiful piece but more than that good to see you turning again on the tube. Are you still working with smelting? I refer to your videos often as I get into resin casting. That's a lot of fun also. Weather you continue on the tube or not you have helped countless people in turning and making. I have been casting quite a bit and have been accumulating my overage resin, in cups, and am ready to turn them into bottle stoppers . I'm looking up" My way" turning bottle stoppers. Thanks for all the help, Lee
Thank you Lee. I have always enjoyed producing my videos and hopefully always will. Glad you still enjoy watching them also. Your casting seems to be going great. I really enjoy seeing the end results of good casting. Hope you enjoyed Bottle Stoppers My Way. Take care my good friend.
I LOVE the way Cedar Smells! GREAT Video Stephen (as always!). My problem with Turning Cedar is, I get too ambitious! I have had EVERY Cedar Bowl break at the Tenon and fly off the Lathe! My next one, I'm gonna do better! I'm a Big Fan Stephen and appreciate what you do Brother! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
Thank you sir. I used to have the same problems. You are correct. Just slow down, keep your tools like razors and be patient. I am really glad that you are enjoying my channel and thank you for your inspiring comments.
I learned more in this video about turning than most of the turning videos on TH-cam. Thank you for posting this.
+JoeZero Thank you sir. Glad you found this project helpful and thanks for commenting.
Ditto, JoeZero. The narrative throughout the video was very helpful to understand the what, why, and how of the process. Excellent video!
Steven Ogle! My friend from high school and the guy who inspired me to join the Air Force! What a cool find on TH-cam!

If I'm not watching your video I'''m turning in the shop!!!! Bowl looks great! Your TH-cam show is the best on the net. Very informative !!!!
Great work Stephen not only the bowl produced, but also on the instruction. Really enjoyable, thank you!
Another beautiful bowl.
I like your voice over videos. Very well explained, without distracting background noises.
Thank you sir. I did not really know how the format change would go but people seem to like it better than the machine noise. Thank you.
I love red cedar. The smell brings back childhood memories. Glad to see you using it again
Thank you Ron. Glad you enjoyed this project. Cedar really makes the shop smell nice.
Superb video. It was so well explained that it motivated me to do one soon. I'll let you know how it goes. I love your easy laid back way of teaching. Thanks
Thank you Brad. So glad you enjoyed this project and found a little inspiration to do it yourself. Please let me know how it works for you.
That's a beauty Stephen! I will have you know Stephen, you are a great teacher. You explain everything in such great detail, thank you.
Thank you sir, very much. I am really glad you are enjoying my channel and finding it helpful.

Thank you Al. Good to see you my friend. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Thank you for another great video Stephen. I took down a cedar tree for a friend just before winter. It was about 28 inch diameter. I have many stacks of cedar bowl blanks in my garage right now. Beautiful stuff.
Thank you Walter. I do believe you will enjoy all that turning. Your shop will definitely smell great for a while. LOL! Take care.

Thanks, my daughter brought me two nice cedar pieces. I've never turned cedar and I've been delaying trying it, but now after watching and learning from your video, I'm ready. Well, maybe I'll try sharpening the tools (another task that seems to require skills I haven't got yet) thanks again
