Thank you from a fellow 1947er. The most important lesson of your video is that turning tools should always be sharp and your method is one that I follow.
Thank you Alan, 1947 was a good year. The first car I ever bought was a 1947 Dodge coupe. Hard to believe you could buy a 16 year old car for $25.00 but I bet you remember those days as well. Yes sharp is very important and when it is easy to do there is no reason not to take the time to do it. I think that might be a big problem. Thanks for watching, Gary
Very good, clear instructions, Gary. I thought you and I covered this a couple years ago, about a week apart. Maybe you didn't go in depth like you did with this video. No matter, I'm sure you have helped many viewers with your great information! You have some very talented viewers, too! Great projects and photos. Welcome all to the wonderful world of turning! Phil
Thank you Phil, we probably did but you know I recently had a birthday so I just don't remember. Seems more like 5 birthdays ago LOL. I do remember doing one on negative rake scrapers last year. I have to agree my viewers really do great work. And I amazed how fast the caught on to those bowls that make you dizzy! I did mostly want to do this to show those photos but I did have a local Portland person ask if I could make a video. on sharpening a gouge on a slow speed grinder with a Vari-grind. Seems like we might be exchanging some wood tomorrow from a distance. I guess I leave a log on the corner and she grabs it and leaves one...you know how that social distancing works. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
I love how most wood turners love sharing their knowledge and ideas and techniques. This was super, for them lol. I really enjoyed those pics of pieces that are their 1st's. I plan to go visit them. Thank you for sharing your video with me! Stay safe, Vickie
Great video with your usual excellent information, Gary. Two of the turners who submitted photos to you are personal friends of mine. I will have to contact them and congratulate them on getting their photos on your video. Great video, my friend. Take care, .....Gord
Thank you Gord, that is pretty cool that you know 2 of the viewers. It was fun showing the pictures. So many wonderful things done so well. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Gary, you and Phil, are the two best turners on Ytube and it's because both of you are happy to teach the rest of us how to turn wood. I wonder how it would be if you guys got together and did a video? Thanks for a great video today.
Well thank you Don that is very kind of you to say. If you have not seen it Phil and I are together in a video from last year. The wife and I were on a vacation in the motor home and we stopped it to visit Phil for a short time. th-cam.com/video/jdlMLWiNO84/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PhilAnderson-ShadyAcresWoodshop That was lots of fun and I am working on the second piece from the wood he gave me right now.
Thank you so much Luie, you are very welcome and I was happy to mention your channel. You have interesting content and are very good at presenting it. A very relaxed way of doing it. I am trying to take lessons from that. Take care, Gary
Good afternoon, Gary. I enjoyed your full service video. You covered a lot of topics and I am thankful to have learned from you. A very interesting project.
IMPORTANT VARI-GRIND SETTING INFORMATION! I use the very first notch on the Vari Grind coming from the bottom. You can use others to your liking as long as you maintain the length you let the gouge stick out and the same setting on the sliding bar on your grinder.
Thanks Gary. It's always nice to know how other wood turners keep their tools sharp. Nice that you showed the photos you received. Luie and Huw are well known, but there are so many other talented people in the world. This video was an great source of inspiration.👍👍 Frank.
Thank you Frank, this all started with a disagreement on grinders. Some think you waste way too much material compared to one of those very slow grinders that are water cooled. I am certain they work great though. But so do CBN wheels. Yes Luie and Huw are doing great work and those pictures from my viewers are just amazing..right! Take care, Gary
Hi Gary, It is so nice to see how a master sharpens his gouges. I also have all of mine with a 35/55 degree so they are the same. The only difference is your results are far superior to mine. Thank you so much for the shout as well, I really appreciate it. Take care my friend and thank you for all your help you have so readily given me. Cheers, Huw
Well thank you Huw, I am just happy that it cut so well after I tested it after a sharpening it. That piece as not the best cutting piece I could have picked. Lots of grain changes going on but it was a bit green. I hope the mention helps because you sure deserve it. Thanks for all you kind words, Gary
Thank you Clayton, I have a folder I keep the folders in. I did not realize it had gotten pretty big. I meant to do this months ago. It did fit in very well with the short video. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, this couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I just bought the oneway grinding jig and varigrind, and have been looking for set-up videos to see how people are using them. A nice straightforward explanation of your method. Thanks! Rick
Thank you Rick, that jig is really a wonderful tool. Before I bought mine I went with a friend to a Woodcraft demo on using it. I have to say I left confused but a few months later and decided how to learn how to use it. TH-cam can be you friend. I think I saw Phil using one and eventually figured it out. It is really very easy to use. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’ve also subscribed to Phil’s channel, and have seen him sharpening with the oneway system. So many on TH-cam do use it, which was one reason why I decided to go that route. Between you and Phil I’ve seen some terrific pieces turned, and lots of fun to boot!
Thank you Gary for your well explained video I'm working on building a sled I still have a way to go before I get into small segments right now I just glue boards together and as right now I freehand grind my gouges keep turning stay safe👍👍👍👍
Well thank you radar I appreciate you watching. Segments are a lot of fun and just take your time getting into them. You can easily make something to hold your gouge like the vari grind jig does. I actually made one for grinding the 40/40 grind and that is all I use it for. Happy turning! Gary
Thank you Mike, those are hand little protractors. I bought that one for the first job I had after getting out of the Army in 1969. So I guess it is an antique...oh I guess that makes me one as well...LOL Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Thank you for another video you seem to be proud to show other people's work and compliment them and that makes me happy in a way always love your videos even though I don't have the equipment to do this stuff
Awesome video Gary, I use the varigrind jig too along with some Raptor gauges I got from Craft supplies USA. They seem to work well and I must say there are some talented wood turners out there. I subscribed to Luie and enjoy his videos! Thanks! Cheers Al
Thank you Al, the varigrind jig is a wonderful tool, for sure there is lots of talent out there. I hope you told Luie I sent you. He has some great natural talent. Take care, Gary
Thank you Mark, I sure love mine. I have the original white stones and probably will not use them. I suggest getting the wider wheels. They cost a bit more but make sharpening very easy. Gary
Very nice Gary. I am always amazed at what newer turners turn. Some day I may be in their and your league. I have my vari-grind set at Doug Thompsons recommendation. I use the 180 cbn wheel. Thought about going to a higher grit, but haven't done it yet. Will definitely keep this in mind when I do. Safe turning.
Thank you Joseph! I think mine is real close to what Doug Thompson uses. I think I am a half a mark different on the jig looking at his picture. And I set mine at 2" out. None of that matters all that much as long as you do the same everytime. Thanks for watching, Gary
Nice video, love the show and tell, I'm a 60 and 40 kind of guy, close enough to what you use. I went with a simple system that is petty much like what you use. Don Geiger has a system he sell for 60 bucks. Simple and repeatable. I did my own for a while then tried his solution fell in love with it. I am a tool freak too. LOL Many way to skin a cat. Stay safe Harold.
Thank you Harold happy you liked it. So I looked up the Don Geiger system and all I saw was something you add to a varigrind. Is that what you are referring to? Yes I think we are all tool freaks and I like making anything I can. I did make a jig for just grinding the 40/40 grind and it does a pretty decent job. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Yes, it is an add on to the Vari-grind 1. Does the things you do and a couple more. And is an option for the non McGivers out there. LOL. I must confess Don is a fellow member of my club, but I paid for my set just like everyone else. Harold
@@haroldsworld Looks like a nice system. Very much like how I do it. If I was to make one like this I would make that setting block out of aluminum so it would always be the same. Gary
Gary, thanks so much for the help and for sharing the pictures from others. That is incredible on your part and definitely helps the hobby -and- those other turners (some very nice work among them)!
Thanks Charles, measuring from the lower edge it is one notch up. I sure wish I would have remembered to show that. Maybe I can add it to my next video. Gary
Great info Gary, I must admit my least favourite job is sharpening. I also have a similar jig but a 180 CBN, maybe I should invest in a finer wheel. Stay safe, John
Thank you John, I think we all hate to stop and sharpen but I have to admit that doing it on the nice equipment we have makes it fun. I even made a special holder for my 40/40 grind and it makes it so much easier. Not sure about the 180 but I talked with Ken at Woodturners Wonders and he set me up with the 80 and the 350 based on what I was doing. I think he did say if you just wanted one a 180 would be a happy in between. I would say if you could swint it you would love a 350. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Bobby, I have to admit I was adding a shelf to my rack for new gouges the other day and I reached up to line a screw up with a few gouges still in place. You guess it I cut the tip of my finger just touching one of the 3/8 gouges. Figured I would not need to take it out of the rack...duh! Thanks for watching, Gary
@@bobbyplatt7654 You can make a jig similar to what I have. Real easy if you make it to do just one grind. Should be videos of doing that. But its a simple block of wood drill to fit your gouge and another smaller dowel to make the rotating point. I made one for my 40/40 gouge.
Hi Mark, I have used a 600 grit diamond card on the gouge but the 350 grit CBN wheel takes very little off when you freshen up the edge. And it takes very little time. I do use the diamond card for the round carbide hollowing bits though.
So I added notes in the description. I had it all set to show where it is at. But depending on the wings you want you may want to try other locations on the jig.
Hi Gary thanks for another great video this was very informative . I’d like to send some pics of my creations Do you have an email address I can send them to ? Again thanks ron
You show you set the length of the arm to a mark you had previously made but don't say how the mark was determined. So how are we to set the arm length?
So all you do is put the gouge in the pocket at the end of the arm and adjust it till the current angle is against the wheel. By using a black sharpie mark you can adjust till it is perfect by turning the wheel by hand. At that point put a mark on the bar or cut a stick that fits from the bar to the base of the grinder. I only use the stick now. Hope that helps, Gary
