The very best instruction. Telling us every step, every move.

Just stumbled across this video. And just like another commenter said, many boring videos not showing the basics. Like yours. Thank you, I was about to return my tools for woodturning.

This was by far the simplest demonstartion of cutting beads and coves I’ve watched thus far. Thank you for the simplicity

Best instructional video for using a gouge (and for turning for that matter) that I have seen yet. Thanks

THIS is what we need! I have watched SO many videos that went on and on and on and NEVER showed a SIMPLE close up of tool use....WELL DONE...give us more tools!!!

Hi Dave! There's so much chaff on the internet, so imagine my great joy (!) when I found someone who finally lays out in simple terms how to use the spindle gouge. Thanks so much! Have a great day...and stay safe in the shop :0)

I`m losing count of all the turning videos I have seen. All of them are super useful and this one is no exception . Always grateful for help to avoid an accident . Great video ..

This is actually the best video I've seen. I'm new to lathes and finding I struggle with how to hold the chisel. I tried to make a snowman and made something that was more like a British pillar box. Thank you for posting the video

[powerq]

Thank you! This was extremely useful. One of the best teaching videos on turning that I have found. You are a wonderful teacher!

[treforparry]

That was a great video, Dave. As a beginner, I think those techniques will save me hours of wondering why I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for your detailed videos! I just started casting acrylic and turning about 4 months ago. I decided after initially turning only pens that I'd like to make some Christmas ornaments (Bells and icicles). Never used a 4 jaw chuck, spindle gouges, or parting tools before this! Thankfully you are an amazing teacher and the closeup angles in your videos are the most helpful I've seen yet. I will be a loyal subscriber from here on out! Thanks again!!!!
Sincerely,
Kimberly Frans

Thank you, very helpful video, and very well explained. I was going to throw my gauge away, roll back has ruined so much of my work. Will keep practicing.

Your experience makes it seem like a toy. Great help, thank you.

Great tutorial. Would love to see a follow up on other techniques for the spindle gouge

[graceland]
