Kent, those of us who are new to turning appreciate you more than you'll ever know. Thank you
Thank you, Joe! you just made me smile. All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent
That was a really good instruction, your a very gifted instructor!
Thank you, Philip!
I am a beginner and addicted to your videos. These are so helpful! Thank you.
I’ve only been turning for 3 months so although I have experienced all of the problems you stated ,the more times I watch your video the better the information sinks in.Because I do make at least 1 of these mistakes each time I turn a bowl on my midi lathe.
Christopher, we were all there. You're sticking with it and that how you will become good at turning. Keep it up and Happy Turning!
Thank you, Kent!
Thank you
Very helpful
Thank you

Glad you like them! Take care and Happy Turning!
Thanks Kent! Always appreciate your videos man!
I appreciate you. Thanks and Happy Turning!
another great one - thanks!
Thanks again! Happy Turning!
Lathe videos love to talk about angles. Tool angles. They NEVER ever specify which of the three angles they're talking about. There are three: 1). The relationship between the tool and the floor - the handle up or down. 2). The lateral application to the work - the handle left or right. 3). The amount of cut at the tool point - the handle twist open or closed.
It is a frequent cause for confusion
Thanx man good tips.
You bet! Happy Turning!
It would be great if you could add this to your complete bowl turning course. It shows a number of things from that course really clearly, but adds value by putting them in context.
Very good video Kent. I'm just starting to work on bowls instead of spindle turning. This covers a lot of issues I've struggled with.
Very well done! Thanks
Glad you liked it! Happy Turning!

Thank you and Fantastic! Enjoy and Happy Turning!
I've made all those mistakes, having it explained is a brilliant help thank you 👍
Great to hear! Happy Turning!
Thanks Kent, more good info some new stuff and some I learned the hard way. Having the info early in your turning travels is much better that the trial & error method. Thanks. Stay safe and well. Cheers, Tom

Thanks,Kent an excellent video. I have turned three bowls and this tutorial helped me see the mistakes I was making on the interior.
Excellent. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Dear Kent!
Io ti seguo dalla Romania e ti sono grata per le tue lezioni di tornitura. Sono molto utili specialmente per una principiante come me ! THANK YOU !!!
Excellent tutorial, I have picked up a lot of useful hints and ideas to perfect my bowl turning. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent- I really appreciate the detail with which you explain everything you’re teaching. I also really like the high quality camera work. Thanks.
Thanks kindly Joseph! Happy Turning!
This helps a lot! Thank you. I'm great at roughing out a green bowl. But i have long way to go in finishing them off.
You can do it! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
His courses are amazing and worth every penny!!!!
Thank you, Theran! You're checks in the mail!!! 😉
Obrigado por compartilhar seus ensinamentos, mestre.
👏👏👏👏👏
Obrigado pelas suas palavras gentis! Eu simplesmente quero ajudá-lo a aproveitar ao máximo o giro da tigela! Happy Turning!
Another great video Kent. Thank you. I just bought a brand new round nose scraper and I’ll be heading over to your video to learn how to best use it. My turning has improved since I started watching your TH-cam instruction.
Fantastic! Thank you and Happy Turning!
I appreciate the rudder imagery.
I’ve benefitted greatly from your website and am happy to find your channel.
Awesome, thank you! Happy Turning!
Thank you for the tips I sometimes get a slight dimple in the centre now I know why thank you again👌👌
Happy to help! No more dimples now. ;) Happy Turning!
another good video lots of good information easy to understand thanks
Glad it was helpful! Happy Turning!
Read ur article on bowl orientation on ur site. Love the graphics.... really helped bring it all together. Great tips in this video as well
Awesome, thank you so much! Happy Turning!
Excellent demonstration showing closeups of the bowl gouge and the correct angles for use. Catches can be frightening. This video is just what I needed.
Paul, yes catches are frightening but with some time and practice they will be a thing of the past for you! Happy Turning!
I just started turning my first bowl today. This is very timely since I'll be turning the inside tomorrow!!
Sounds good. Be careful with too much time between turning the outside and inside. If the wood is wet there will be a lot of stress that can appear as cracking on the end grain. Best to turn all in "one sitting." Happy Turning!
Great video. I am still struggling with most of the mistakes. Most importantly, I need to practice more.
Each cut is an opportunity to practice. You've got this. Happy Turning!
Thank you for such clear instruction. I'm a newbie and hollowing has been quite the challenge.
Glad it helped Khaldris. Be sure to check out my course too www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/turn All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thank you Kent, some really useful tips that will help me a lot. I like your style of instruction and will keep a look out for more of your work.
Thank you, and Happy Turning!
Great video Kent, thanks Bowl turning is brand new to me so I'm soaking up all the info. I can before I turn one.
I've turned spindles and misc. all my life but this is a whole new endeavor. Also most of my past turning was for my business so
I used a duplicator mostly. So putting tools in my hands is a great feel.
Excellent Tim! If you'd like to accelerate your learning check out my online courses www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/courses All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Very well done. Clear instructions. Good video closeups to show tool position.
Neil, Thank you very much!
Thank you a lot I've been making a lot of these mistakes now I just have to go practice
You got this! Persistent practice and you'll see great results. Happy Turning!
Good, informative video. I was guilty 6 out of the 7. Thx
No worries! Knowing is more than half the battle. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
You sure make it look easy.
You can do it Claus. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! Happy Turning!
I think I scored 7/7 there! Really useful video and tips. Will be turning another bowl soon so will put these all into practise and see how much I can reduce my sanding time ;)
Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, I've learnt a lot from you in a short space of time. Thank you
Glad it helped! Thank you and Happy Turning!
Another great video. You do a great job explaining common mistakes. In the beginning, I would establish the rim thickness and work my way down the bowl. I usually ended up getting thinner than I wanted down further. When I tried to thin the rim back to the same thickness as the lower part it was either thinner than I wanted or I would get a lot of vibrations and have chatter marks I needed to sand out. This video would have saved me a lot of aggravation. Keep up the great work. :)
We all have to travel our journeys of learning. Every step is valuable. Happy Turning!
Very useful! Very well explained! I turn a lot of endgrain bowls because available trees here tend to be way thinner than in the US or Asia.
Cool, thanks! What type of wood and where are you? Happy Turning!
Oh how WONDERFUL. Kent provided a superb video here detailing some of the pitfalls to be avoided in bowl turning and from nowhere 6 have provided a "Thumbs down" for the vid.
This obviously mean THEY are so much better than Kent at turning and are going to submit THEIR OWN video to us all...on how they believe it really should be done.
I can't wait......I won't hold my breath though. Thanks for a very informative video AS ALWAYS.
LOL, Thanks Dave! There are usually about 6 in every bunch. Shrug. Happy Turning!
Wish I had paused after #4, instead of before. Created another wide mouth cedar funnel. Still learning. Getting to be an expert at repair.
Oh my friend , it’s very nice very helpful teaching, and definitely very polite way to teach
Thank you so much for giving us your Acknowledge ,
I have been watching your videos very often
Thanks again
Thank you kindly, Yilmaz. I'm so glad to help! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, I’m new to turning. I very much appreciate your teaching style and your time to edit these videos, sincerely appreciate you, I am definitely subscribing,,I’m looking forward being your new student by video.
Thank you kindly, Tammy! And thanks for subscribing. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Another nice video - I'm 7 for 7 :) I've been doing my bowls with a 40/40 grind, so at some point I usually switch to a bottom of bowl gouge to come across the lower third or so. I can see the advantage of not needing two separate gouges though... Unrelated, I'm interested in the idea that you can use a jam chuck (bowl shape) to hold and work the outside of thin bowl walls. The walls don't even know they're thin!
Sounds great, 7 for 7. Yes, the 55° swept-back is my fav tool. I like the 40/40 mainly for roughing the exterior of large blanks. Have you seen my jam chuck video. More details there for you. They work like a charm. Happy Turning!
Great videos which I wish I had seen when I started turning a couple of years ago. Your presentation is by far the best I have seen. Really appreciate the effort you have gone to and thanks a million.
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you're benefiting. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great video. I have been turning for about 10 years and have always had trouble with the center and trying to get that smooth. I have tried getting it flat with a bowl gouge, a round no’s scraper, a bottom feeder gouge and even a square nose scraper and always seem to end up with a small nub of divot. It’s usually something small enough to where it can be sanded down to fit the curve of the rest of the bowl but just takes more sanding in that particular area. I am no pro turner by any means but a far amount of the tips that I see in various videos from different youturbers I already know or have seen but I still tend to learn a bit of something. Some of the tips in this video I already knew and have experience with but I did learn a lot about finishing the bottom. Thanks for your expertise.
You're very welcome. Thank you for sharing! Happy Turning!
I have bought the carbide. Makes it so easy... but, because of your love for the swept back, and how you use it, it’s so versatile, i how bought it as well. Do you have a video on just this swept back. ?
Wonderful! Yes, check this out - th-cam.com/video/txMcZ4yFOfA/w-d-xo.html Happy Turning!
Brilliant just have to practice, I must admit I find my bowl gouges a bit frightening. Your video has helped, thank you.
Thank you, John. Be sure to check out my other gouge videos. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Much appreciated and great explanations. Enjoy your well scripted teaching. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed. Happy Turning!
I started turning less than a month ago and with these lessons I'm making smooth controlled cuts... it feels good
Very good Kent. I learned a lot. ‘Supported grain and tool supported on bevel’ 👍 ‘Rotational speed the same, but surface speed of the wood gets less, as you cut toward the centre’ 👍 Maybe I won’t get a tool catch next bowl! I haven’t been laying the gouge over anywhere near enough. 👍😅👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing Tony. You're getting there! Happy Turning!
Thanks for the great video. I’m transitioning from carbide tools to bowl gouges (I’ve only turned a few bowls), and this was really helpful. In fact I had an issue with tool marks from a carbide tool in the inside bowl center and now I think I know why - slow down!
Glad it was helpful. Sherman! The Bowl Gouge Mastery course will help you immensely. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thank you for the video. I don't claim to be a wood turner, I make quaichs and have to turn bowls so as to have an item to carve, if that makes sense. You've sorted out a recurring, ie, every time I turn a bowl, problem of tool marks. much appreciated.
Sounds great Richard! Hm? I just looked up your quaich. Are you turning everything except the negative space around the handles? It could be done that way, I think. Happy Turning!
Kent, I am a novice turner in Sydney, Australia and having not turned a bowl since High School some 52 years ago I have viewed nearly all your videos and learning slowly. My major drama is forming a proper Mortise so that once turned around the wood stays in the chuck, I have had several fly off causing real dramas. After viewing your videos multiple times your instructions are really sinking in and making a huge difference in my work so a great thank you for your expertise.
Paul, I'm glad these videos are helping. I also have very detailed articles on my website. Check this out turnawoodbowl.com/wood-bowl-mortise-recessed-lathe-chuck-attachment/ All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Your videos are the most helpful and well done of any I have seen! I watched a few then tried to watch one someone else produced and just couldn't finish it. You have excellent presentation skills. You describe things in a very easily understood manner and you never block the bowl with your body. Thanks for taking the time to answer so many of my questions. I will be taking your tool sharpening e course very soon.
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed! All the best to you and Happy Turning! See you in the Sharpening Course.
Thanks Kent. I really appreciate your teaching style. I have watched this video over and over again, along with your video on how to avoid catches and skips . . . And I’ve tried and tried to emulate your gouge positioning, but I still have two rough patches opposite each other on every bowl I turn. I’ve sharpened the gouge, kept the flute at 3 o’clock to start and opened it up to around 1.30 as I progress. I’ve tried the finishing cut with the flute more open and using the point of the gouge. I’ve tried that scraping cut using the wings of the gouge that you speak of in other videos. I just can’t seem to get rid of those two patches of grain standing up! I’ll carry on looking at your tips to see if I’m missing something. Please don’t stop doing what you do!
Thank you for writing and sharing, Gavin! Not to worry. You are describing the "Trouble Zone" Check this out turnawoodbowl.com/wood-bowl-turning-trouble-zone-dirty-little-secret/ All the best to you and Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Your article describes exactly the issue I have.
Now ‘all’ I need to do is work on the solution 😂.
Watch many times already and just realized from your close-up, I've been trying to duplicate the visual I see on video (most of the time is not the same as I truly will see while I'm turning) (130 degree position you're turning in will look different from an overhead view). Thank you again!
Greg, Thank you for writing and sharing! Glad to help. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Your tips about starting a cut on the rim of the interior are timely, thank you. And I just tried your technique of focusing on the outside of the bowl when cutting the interior., and I had a much better result. On a another topic, I notice what looks like netting hanging in front of your lathe. Is that to stop chips from flying throughout the shop? Does it also stop the water from green wood? (A particular problem in my tiny shop.) What is the material, and where can we buy it? As always, you did a terrific job with this video.
Thanks. Glad the rim technique is working for you. That's a roll of replacement window screen on bungie cords. ;) Simple and it works well. Happy Turning!
Yes, these principles have been very helpful. In another video, you mention sharpening the bowl gouge before making finish cuts. Since doing this and following the other tips, my interior bowl cuts have improved a lot. Thanks for your clear and precise instruction. Two somewhat unrelated questions: 1. even though you have a micro bevel gouge, have you ever considered grinding the heal on your 55 swept back to reduce interference in the bottom corners? 2. How often do you replace your respirator filters? How do you know when you should replace them? thanks.
Thanks for your kind words. 1) Yes, sometimes, I will grind back the heel of my regular gouges. 2) about every 6 months or when they start looking gross. ;) Happy Turning!
Kent, just wanted to say thanks, I started turning a year ago and use your videos extensively. Really like your teaching style.
Thanks a ton Chris. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Suggested wall thickness on bowesl
Depends on the use for the bowl, and the wood, and your preferences.
