    Very nice gouge! I use sandpaper glued to a dowel to sharpen the concave side of my gouges. Grind side-to-side along the edge so you don't round the bevel. It seems to work well enough, although it is a bit tedious. It's at least easy to make and you can choose whatever dowel radius you need for the particular tool.

    Always enjoy watching you make things with simpler tools to help beginners and smaller shops. Making the tools to make more tools is a fantastic skill to have. I believe I heard you say you don't make many knives though I'm sure I heard you say that you have made them. Is there a video of you making a knife with simple hand tools? There are hundreds if not thousands of knife making videos out here everything from professionals with every tool imaginable to first timers with nothing but harbor freight tools and I want to hear you explain the process because the way you teach and break it all down so everyone can understand it. I like that you answer they why it's done as well as how it's done. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe sir and thanks again for the free info.

    thank you for doing this gouge. This inspires me to make a spoon gouge that is more of a knife, than push gouge. I think making the blade like a knife and then curving it will be the best way to go. I really like your grinder with the interchangeable wheels, and how it tensions the belt.

    That's a really nice gouge. I've actually been wanting to make some of these for my brother who loves carving spoons and kuksa's. I hadn't thought of making one in this style, but I really like it so will probably make something similar. Thanks 😊
    Something I've been thinking about, with Corvid-19, is that everyone is so worried about protecting the frontline staff and showing them so much gratitude for the work they are doing, which is an awesome thing to do, but I think more gratitude should be heading in the direction of people like you who are giving up time to help us all stay sane during this awful time. Thank you for carrying on with the video's that you produce, they are a real comfort that life can and is carrying on. I think more and more people will be relying on TH-cam as a way to shut out the rest of the world for a few minutes. Thank you 👍

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When it really matters there are various mathematical formulas and rules of thumb. Then you make test pieces until you've got it just right. But fr projects like this, it isn't that important to have an exact finished size, s I make a wild guess.

    Hi John, I enjoyed watching the creation of the bowl gouge. Im also a newbie to wood turning and would like to make my own turning tools. Can you offer any advise of the metal selection and creation process for say a turning bowl Gouge? I have access to many vehicle coil springs. Would they be suitable? Thanks Darren

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have used spring steel with fairly good results. However most turning tools are made from high speed steel so they will stand up to getting a little hotter in use. Just remember that turning tools take a lot of stress and breaking on while turning could be pretty dangerous.

    I mean real close. Even if it's edited for a moment. When you're making a point one a technique or a feature. I understand the time taken to setup and edit. I/we appreciate it. You make these videos with the idea of people get the general idea and technical information purely by observation of your process. For me and many at times you need to get up close to understand more.
