Your finish is only as good as the sanding job under it. As with cordless tools you just can’t beat them. Very informative keep sharing your knowledge it’s awesome.
Thank you Dale. I can remember back in highschool shop class wanting to get over that sanding part so I could get the finish on. Well I know better than that now. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Phil. It is pretty much exactly how you do it. And I am sure I picked some of that up from you. Especially the double pad system. That is the dogs bark...oh wait...the cats meow LOL See you tomorrow my friend, Gary
Hi gary l am pleased you explained on sanding l have learnt the hard way .l am glad l have a lathe that runs in reverse. These videos are a great help to people on the first step of wooturning l love it
Great advice Gary. Great news for me today. I finally received my Ricon lathe, and just got it assembled Now I'm chewing at the bit to get started tonight. Happy turning for me again, and happy turning to you too 😊
@ThePapa1947 I'm just glad to being able to get to what makes me feel happy and grounded again. Already making wood chips with a piece of Cherry Burl take care and again. Thank you for the educational videos on how to do things that won't get one injured. Sometimes you learn the hard way.
Good information, Gary. It makes sense to do the due diligence of that which you showed. I do most of te same things but have lost the little screws for my chucks, so I just sand lightly when I go in reverse. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tim. Last time I was at the hardware store I bought a half dozen of those screws. Now if I can remember where they are LOL. The fact of it is when I put my chuck on I give it a little spin at the end and it locks it in plenty good for sanding. At least for me. Takes a spanner wrench to get it loose which is what I like. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks you Gary for the information on sanding! It is similar to what I do except between grits I use compressed air to blow the piece off which really cleans the wood and any flaws show up quickly, well done and thanks! Cheers Al
That was so interesting, Gary. I copied Will Kenny and purchased a DeWalt right angled drill but use a 2ah battery as it’s lighter (I do have several spares from 2 to 5ah). I also turn alternating forward and reverse but have learnt to my cost to ensure I have a chuck with a grub screw and IT IS TIGHT! 🌞
Thanks Ray, I have two of the Dewalt 2ah and that is what I asked them to send. For some reason they sent the bigs ones. Which will work good for the leaf blower and weed wacker. I use the grub screw when turning in reverse. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, thanks for the sanding tips that teaches me a whole lot. I’ve been doing it wrong for a long time, but I did give me one of those jump starters that you had on your show. The ex one repressor jumpstart and one and really happy with it thanks for the great advice.
Thank you so much Robert. Happy you like the jumpstarter. I sure like the one I got. And I get nothing for showing you this but if it is a good tool I do not mind sharing what I think. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, an excellent sanding tutorial on sanding! You covered it very well. The link for Vanon Batteries is good timing…2 of my 4Ah Ryobi 😕 batteries failed along with the charger. I couldn’t recover them using the tricks on TH-cam. My wife says Christmas is coming!
Thank you Skip. I have a Porter Cable drill and impact drill and the batteries keep on going. Have had it for 6 years or more. You know how time fly's. LOL Perfect timing for a useful Christmas present. Take care, Gary
Thanks Carol. I sure took my time thinking about it. I had looked at the Harbor Freight one which looks ok and a good price. Comes without batteries and the after market battery market seems to have grown. Thanks for watching, Gary
Nice video, Gary. Excellent information and tips. When mentioning the direction of your lathe, it would also be good to know what direction you are running the drill/sander.
Thanks! If I had reversed direction on the outside or inside I would have mentioned that. I have found that with the drill going forward it works perfect for the lathe going forward or reverse. It is all about which side of the work you have the sander working. But a good suggestion thanks, Gary
Thank you Scott. I do like this sander a lot. There are lots of other nice brands as well but this uses the same battery and chargers as our lawn tools so it made sense to get it. Sure the small batteries will last for the sanding but kind of pointing out don't call it good if the battery does run out. Always nice to have 2 batteries and I do have 2 of the 2 amp ones that came with it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hey Gary! Good job man on showing this video. Many people do not know these techniques. Once I sand to 220 grit I spray the piece with a squirt bottle of water. Et it dry for a few minutes and sand both ways with 320 or 400 grit works wonders! Have you tried it? Let me know. Thanks
Thank you Douglas. That is a good trick your doing with your sanding. Yes we learned the wetting down wood to raise the grain back in highschool. This was on flat stock but the same idea. DNA will do the same thing. Gary
I do the same as you when sanding using the angle drill. However, I use 80 grit discs very sparingly since i don't like the scratches they leave. It's a personal preference thing. Instead, I usually start with 100-120 grits and then work up to 400. When I sand the center (bottom) of the bowl, I usually sand with the lathe off. This seems to work best for me.
There are some turnings that I either lack the ability to turn them smooth enough to start with 180 or finer. But if they are turned smooth enough I start with the paper needed to finish the piece. I brought up 80 grit to emphasize the importance of being sure the grit you are using has done its job and you can move on to the next grit. Thought I was clear about that but sorry if I wasn't.
@ThePapa1947 You were clear on that 80 grit issue. I just happen to not like that grit because of the scratches I got, or it was too aggressive. It's one of those preference issues.
Great video I am fussy about safety from having seen and experienced unsafe work practices on industrial and construction jobs. A bad procedure can ruin the fun. And, a bad procedure sure can create a disappointing finish. Haha. I have done that myself. I hope ;my typing is not too bad. Sammy is in the way. And, the main procedure is not to disturb the cat. Haha.
Thank you Travis. I agree with everything you said especially disturbing the cat. Just to let you know how bad it is if I come in and Dinky is in my computer chair and I want to load recent files onto my computer I plug it in and then access it from another room on my laptop LOL There are times he will let me sit on the edge of my computer chair. It is a running joke around here and my wife says I am the joke!!! Take care, Gary
I know I had a lot of trouble at the start and everybody just kept telling me to sand more. It took time to realize when I was seeing that the previous grits' scratches were now removed. Thank you for all the beginners who are trying to figure out what they're doing wrong for explaining it thoroughly instead of just saying you're not sanding enough.
Thanks Jay. If you miss something at the beginning it may not show till the first coat of finish goes on. There really isn't a set amount of time for each grit. Takes more on hard wood most of the time. That is what makes looking it over is so important. Thanks for watching, Gary
great video gary. I don't have reverse on my lathe, will sanding on the outside bottom be the same as sanding the top in reverse. That is how I have alwayse sanded and after watching your videos on sanding I wondered about that. Thanks Mike
Thank you Peter. The only other one I considered was the Ryobi. I have garden tools that use the DeWalt batteries so that is the main reason. Thanks for watching, Gary
Another good reason I find to sand the OD in reverse is that I can easily see the dust being generated. We look at the chips while turning to decide how the gouge and I are performing so why wouldn't we want the same information while sanding? Even 400 grit will generate dust while it's sharp but not when it gets dull.
Good point Ken! When I do a once turning on a piece of green wood it is nice to see when I have it down to 1/4 inch it is sandable. For sure you can see the dust coming off. Thanks for watching, Gary
Good information A few months ago I got the very same drill for sanding for much of the same reason, cord always in the way and not the smartest thing to have around a spinning machine. Question, do you do any thing different for the bottoms?
Thank you Gary, Yes for sure no reason to have the cords in the way. As far as the bottom goes I sand what I can before flipping. It it is a recess I can get it all done. With a tenon I will sand what I can and then after removing the nub I put the bowl on something soft and sand with drill. Thanks for watching, Gary...lots of Gary's watch my channel!
Thank you Tom. I use them because they are softer and allows things to form to the shape I am turning. Well worth it if you ask me. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Joe. The second pad is softer which helps the disk and pad conform to the shape of the turning. Give it a try I think you will like it. Thanks for watching, Gary
I learn something from every one of your videos, Gary! I have heard that water raises the grain on the wood. Does wet sanding enable an even smoother result?
Thank you Sue Water will raise the grain and can help sand stubborn areas. But I very seldom use that trick on a turning. There are times I might wipe it down with DNA which will raise the grain as well. But on a turning I find I can get it just as smooth going through all the grits. If yuu are having problems and have reverse on your lathe that will take care of those stubborn grains as well. I used to use water on flat work which did help a lot. Have a Great Thanksgiving! Gary
@@danowen9142 it is the DeWalt right angle drill. We gave garden tools that use DeWalt batteries so figured I would stick with the same. Alo it is 20 volt but probably does not matter much .
Gary, do you have a set screw holding your chuck to the lathe? I too sand in reverse and I've heard about the chuck coming loose from the lathe when running the lathe in reverse. I personally i have never experienced this. Thanks for all your videos!
Thanks Mark. Yes I do have set screws on my chucks. When turning in reverse it is very important to use the set screw. When I spin my chuck in it takes my spanner wrench to loosen it up. I really doubt sanding will loosen it up. That said you should use the set screw it if is a concern. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Eric, yes I have wet sanded. Especially if I have an area of punky wood or tear out that will not clean up it can produce a slurry that can fill those areas. Check out the video I did on it. th-cam.com/video/jOVxKrTEuQw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GNM1JxosHcyfE3lK
Two points. Firstly standing on the other side doesn't change the direction of turn so makes no difference at all. Secondly if you haven't got dust extraction you MUST wear a really good mask, and wear it all the time you're in the workshop - not just while sanding. Very fine sandpaper raises dust as fine as smoke and it will swirl into the air at the slightest breeze. Wood dust can be lethal. Really.
Thanks for your comments Bill. I am pretty sure I did not recommend standing on the back side of the lathe. But I think others do so they can have the dust go the other directions from them. And yes you should wear a dust mask which I did to avoid the noise of my dust collector and air filtration. Those points sure could be pointed out in another video. Also using your air hose to clean the dust off your area is not a good way. I worked as a wood patternmaker and the was more than me just working their. A number of the guys would just blow the dust off their jobs or bench and fill the shop with dust. I guess as long as they blew it away from their selves that was ok.
Instead of running the lathe in reverse, can't you just stand on the other side of the lathe? It obviously negates your dust collection, but most of us probably don't have that anyway.
That is something you could do. My lathe is right up against my table saw so i would not be able to. Then a lot of people have their lathe against a wall. But even at that you are still spinning the same direction of how it was turned so no real benefit for taking sanding anything that the tools could have lifted. Even though you can not see them. But it would have some of the other benifits. Thanks for watching, Gary

What brand is that angled battery sander you are using and why did you choose that particular brand/model other than it being cordless?
@@danowen9142 it is the DeWalt right angle drill.
We gave garden tools that use DeWalt batteries so figured I would stick with the same. Alo it is 20 volt but probably does not matter much .

Yes it is sold as a drill. But it will be used as a sander for my use.
Do you ever wet sand?
Hi Eric, yes I have wet sanded. Especially if I have an area of punky wood or tear out that will not clean up it can produce a slurry that can fill those areas.

I have an old 1963 Powermatic lathe and I put a new motor on when I rebuilt it. The motor is reversable so I added the switch and it works great.
Very cool. I had a JET 1442 that you could not reverse the motor because it was not one of the capacitor start motors.
