Finally, another brother who uses easy wood tools to turn! Nice job on the bowl!

I would have never thought to glue of some wood. Here I am buying good wood to practice my bowl turning when I can glue up wood to practice on. Thanks for the video.

[Colbyhgreen]

Most videos show just the turning and never the initial set up. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Well done, you know my lathe once helped me rescue a family of snowmen from a fallen branch in my yard. They liked it so much they come each Christmas and hang around my house.

Thank you thank you thank you - I am trying this this weekend - really look forward to my time in the shop.

Super idea for starting out. Even these projects can become a thing of beauty. Thanks for sharing.

[SawDustMakerRJM]

I plan on getting a lathe sometime in the near future so I will be coming back to this video when I do. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Dear Sir; i have enjoyed your video on tuning a bowl. And so far I have turned four, however, only two made to the finishing stage and beyond. two of them were the victim of a snag. Thankfully no one but the bowls and pride were injured. Once again thanks for the video, it has been a great help.

[stuartsullenbarger]

I love the bowl, i, 've made these in the beggining, and I make it easy on myself, and use a mortis bit to cut into the center, less to cut out, and a 1-1/8 inch mortis bit as a mortis, and a scew chisel to match my nova chuck jaws....

[darbinorvar]

Nice job showing the process. I am planning to do a few bowls myself, very soon!

Thanks for the video! I'm considering adding a lathe to my workshop and at this point would certainly be considered a "pre-noob"! Your video is a great intro to doing bowls w/o "experimenting" with expensive hardwoods.

Nice video. I just got my first lathe today, got it set up and put a piece of bass wood on and just tested several different cutting tools to see how the work. I was a little nervous just because lathes can be dangerous, but I still had fun turning something square into something round. I've done a lot of wood working, but I think this will make it more fun. Thanks for the tips, I'll try them out on my next piece.

I used this video today to help turn my first bowl- Thanks, Sterling!

[AllenOxendine]

Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t tuned my first bowl yet. Practice Practice

[JamesCouch]

I'm a beginner and it is not as easy as I thought, however I am very stubborn and don't plan on quitting. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[mfwoodshop]

Nice walk through of the process. I tried the same thing with pine, it turn out. It ended up across the garage. Nice job.

[MichaelLawing]

That was a great overview. I'm really impressed by the finish on that pine. Great stuff!

[RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

Thank you for an informative and simple tutorial. I'm a little nervous at taking my first turning class in January, but your video is encouraging! Cheers from Montréal, Québec!

[TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Very inspirational! I hope it's as easy as you made it look 😄 I've helped out with a bit of gouging last week, but can't wait to turn one on my own soon from start to finish 😀

[thisismoc]

Thank you! This was a very educational and I can't wait to put what I've learned to use!
