Repurposing Old Gouges

See how old gouges can be repurposed as small beading tools.

Brian I think anything you post is beneficial and well thought out ! I think Tips And Tricks is a great addition to your venue of videos.

Brian -- I like all three of the types of videos.  Your in-depth videos provide information that is not generally available.  Plenty of videos are available showing how to make a certain cut; your videos explain both the how and the why.  Your project videos (president's challenge) are illustrative of the different types of projects that can be turned on the lathe.  Not only do you broaden your viewers horizons, encouraging them to think creatively about projects (why not turn 4 multi axis candle sticks at the same time?); you also provide practical advice on how to make the projects. And, of course, this tips and tricks video is helpful in its own way.  Repurposing a gouge to make a beading tool?  Wish I'd seen it before I bought some beading tools!

Brian, Your videos are always very well presented and easy to follow, whether the President's challenges or various subjects that interst you. I specially like that you always explain your reasoning behind what you do.

Outstanding video and inspiring to DIY- leading to a better understanding of tool usage and innovation.

Brian, I enjoy watching all of your videos. Learning better techniques helps my turning. Keep them coming.

Quick Tip was great, you showed more ways to use the beading tool than either of the other videos I found before yours. Good Job

Brian - I like the mix of tips, depth, etc. This was a great one! I say, keep the variety coming! 👍

Hi Brian, it's nice to see a blend of video types. Any one type of video will get tedious after a while. This one was especially nice because it's a good way to give a tool new life, save some money and learn new techniques all in one short video! Good one!!

[johnhoogenhout]

Really appreciate these inspiring kind of vids Brian. You are a gifted turner and teacher. I'm a keen follower of yours.

I like all these type of videos - from technique to tools and tips. Whenever you start a new hobby/job you always have to get past the assumed knowledge - people who are experienced forget the small things, the implicit knowledge and it's these things that you're missing when you start. So when you do a video like this I find it full of useful info (e.g. when using a scraper, slow down the lathe)

Hi Brian,
Great video and great idea! I'm going to definitely do this when one of my tools finally gets to the end of its life. I came across you on YouTube not too long ago and have really enjoyed all of them. You explain things very well and go beyond the "how" and explain the "why" which you don't see a lot of. I've really learned a lot of things from you that I didn't know. Having the mix of videos like you do is a great thing. Keep up the GREAT work you do!

I like the variety of videos. All good, Brian, thanks

[billyeverson]

I wondered where old gouges went to die! Mix'em up. It's all good information and well presented.
Thanks for the videos

i think this is a great idea! i just got a set of 7 antique Disston turning tools (for 16 bucks!) and one of them is a 1/4 inch gouge. i'm going to make it into a beading tool. love it!

[linedancer]

Brian I am very new to turning but are loving all your videos, I really like this idea as I can use it on my wheels I turn, thanks for sharing

[donlyons]

Tips and tricks are always great to view, keep them coming. Thank you for your time.

[stevewarren]

Hi, I'm new to turning and find your videos exceptionally informative and educational.

[patrickcanter]

I love ALL you Thanks.r videos. I like your personality and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thanks.

[stephanetartaglia]

Great idea!  I'm going into the shop now to see if I have an old gouge I can transform!

[mrlacroft]

Tips are always good.  They help, more then just watching guys make shavings.  Most people that watch these videos already have their own way of turning but need tips on how other turners are making and using their tools.
