Rob, I've dabbled in woodturning for a few years now but I have to say you have pure magic hands and your method of instructing and explaining is the absolute tops. Thank you very much. An Aussie fan

[MrAtfenn]

ive watched quite a few turners' videos but this is the first video that helped me understand the difference between scraping and a sheer cut. thank you for the practice exercises as well

[robohippy]

Surprised that I didn't comment about your turning here Rob. Technically, the tool you are using is a 'spindle detail gouge' and has a ) shaped flute. The spindle roughing gouge is another tool with a half round flute shape. It is intended for roughing out spindles.

As for the grip on your tool, a line I used from an old black and white Hollywood movie about Cyrano De Bergerac. I knew it was really good when I heard a guest on the Roy Underhill show use it about holding hammers. Cyrano disarms a student, and then tells the student, "Hold the sword as you would a bird. Too tight and you kill it. Too loose and it flies away."

I'm a newbie to the lathe scene, so I'm loving these videos, Rob~! School me, brother~!! :-)

[TRyburn]

I'm really enjoying this lathe series you have going! Very informative.

[DD-rbhi]

Once again thanks for that. I will be re-watching this over and over to get the hang of it once i get my machine.

Great video, doesn’t matter how long you have been turning for, I always find their is something to learn from others. Hats off to the free hand sharpening, did it for years until I finally invested in a Tormek jig, now my gouges are super sharp and at the same angle every time very quickly.

I have not yet had a chance to work on a lathe - it looks really relaxing.

Thank you very much for this great lesson 🐞

[ironmantooltime]

Love it. Some of those edits made me think you should produce an out takes video 😎

Love the videos!!! Rob, I’ve noticed your voice seems to be struggling in the last few videos and your breathing seems slightly labored at times. I hope your health is fine and that it’s just from using your voice too much. God bless and thank you for all the work you and your staff do for vets!

[Borescoped]

not but 10 minutes ago.... I understand what Rob was talking about. Yes, that 1000 grit side on a Trend WILL abrade your skin down pretty quickly, and you won’t even notice, until your blade starts looking red. Broke in the 300 side, took a plane blade to the 1000 side with the ruler to start working the back while following the 32 seconds to sharp video, wore the skin right off the side of the tip of my RH middle finger! Now I’m off to get some gauze at the store. I will have to watch this video when I get back LOL.
