Thank you Christan,

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

[@TheRenaissanceCaveman]

Hey Carl! Excellent video... I picked up a Grizzly lathe a few months ago and have found that it's the one woodworking tool for which I can't find a whole lot of "getting started" type material online, so I'm thrilled that I found your channel. Keep it up!!!

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Yes, I'll put that in next weeks video.

[@baconsoda]

Nice clear, precise, stuff. Good video.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you brandon,

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Carl,
Thank you, Yes I'll talk about that next week.
Take care,
Carl

[@brandonm8568]

Could you do, or have you already done, a video on lathe maintenance? Tips on keeping it clean and the bed rust free? Thank you!

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you Lester, Do you have the link to the video?

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

No just the round ones. They work very well too.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi, I do use the roughing gouge for bowls sometimes but it's not recommended. A bowl gouge would be a better choice.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Brandon, I'm going to talk about that in the next video. It should be up Monday.

[@ConfusionWood]

great work

[@MikeWaldt]

Excellent tutorial Carl, very well explained. The echos are getting a little less pronounced each video, you must be starting to fill the new shop with things!
Take care
Mike

[@valbakke]

thanks for the video. can you do a video showing tool rest height from a side angle?

[@jawadsaadi]

Thanks for your efforts. It will be great to also see side camera view to see the angle you're working with

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

thank you,

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Ben, Do you live in the US? "Oregonburls" has a great selection. There is no best wood to turn I turn mostly hard wood.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Remy, I did one I think it was the forth video I did on this channel.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you Walt,

[@chelben9]

Could you tell me the best place to get wood and what kind is the best please!

[@HolzMechanikerUSA224]

Hey Carl, what is that drill bit size?
excellent video as usual

[@krank2kold]

Would i use a roughing gouge to round the inside if it were a segmented or stave cylinder???

[@utubephil100]

Thanks for sharing your skills Carl - just one question please, how do you determine the correct height it the tool rest compared to the centre line of the work ?

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

utubephil100 For most of the tools, I have it just below the center. For scrapers I have it just above center.

[@jaymeshood1396]

Hi carl-I heard the other day that you could us the Roughing gouge for trueing up bowl blanks is this true?? Thanks

[@yurttassalih]

hi Carl.Im begin turning work.Which mark of turn machine ? Please tell me where can I find a turn device

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you, I'll try and move the camera around sometimes.

[@remyboisse9249]

could you make a video on lathe danger,how to use it. I'm a beginner and I never turn thank you

[@MrBassplayer259]

could you do a video on tool hight?

[@whitedogoutfitters]

Can you use Roughing gouge if the grain is not parallel to the tool rest? I have not had very good success and didn't know if it was me or the way I was using the tool.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

It's not a good idea it tends to rip the wood instead of cutting it.

[@LethisihteL]

Hi Carl, what kind of wood is that? thx

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you, It's 5/8"

[@penrodgarage]

Where did you get this tool? We have a similar one (shape and size) at school, and I want one just like it for my lathe projects here at home.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+Penrod Garage It's a Robert Sorby I got it at Woodcraft.

[@penrodgarage]

+Carl Jacobson cool, thanks! I actually ended up getting a set of tools from my school a few days ago. They're the Buck Bros tools that aren't very good steel, but they work great as long as sharpened.

[@StarFyter1]

Next do the Spindle/Fingernail gouge. :) That one is messing with me bad. Just when I think I'm doing good, it catches and heads toward the chuck putting a nasty spiral on the work.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you Mike, I'm getting close It's should sound like a recording studio by next week......ha ha
Take care,
Carl

[@icespeckledhens]

what bevel angle do you use?
thanks
James

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Mine is 35

[@MrLeonard55]

LOL, Sounds good.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

It's Purple Heart

[@MrLeonard55]

I think you should name the roughing gouge.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Like El Capitan :)

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]
