There are a number of good demonstrators in the YouTube turning world but you combine that with some of the best information and education I’ve seen. Thanks.

[terrybenton]

Love the continual reinforcement of the fundamentals

[joeszukalski]

Excellent ideas. I am not a full time turner but have learn some of you tricks which will help me.

[patspagnuolo]

Thanks for your videos.
I enjoy and I'm learning to use the bowl gauche

Kent,
I have been turning for 5 years, and NOW I understand tear out. The AHA moment was the celery. Thx, Bob

[Straightfromthehorsesmouth]

I use sanding sealer to strengthen the end grain. Nice video.

[dejavuwampas]

Boy, I sure learn stuff when I listen to you. Thanks.

[onezenna]

Can you do a video of a end grain bowl. I like the side grain video it's easy to understand.

[billklein]

Good stuff Ken and very timely for me. Thanks!

[rhannington]

Thanks, very useful and so clearly demonstrated.

[paulruud]

Thank you for your terrific videos!

New turner here. I don't understand why the unsupported grain after the end grain isn't a worse problem than the end grain. If I were using a router on a board with similar grain, the most vulnerable edge would be the section with the unsupported grain. I would consider making a climb cut there. It would be like reversing the direction the bowl is turning for just that section. Thanks for any help.

Kent. Thank you for this information. It has proven to be invaluable to me. As a relatively new wood turner, I was struggling with this issue a lot. This video helped me immensely. Thanks again for creating all the excellent educational videos.

[danepowell]

Thank you very much Kent. You are one of the very best instructors/teachers I have ever encountered. I look forward to turning my next bowl ( later this morning) to see if I remember all seven tips. You are appreciated!!!

[alaincaron]

Your explanations are very clear, even for someone whose mother tongue is not English. The sketchs especially in your articles speaks a thousand words. Thank you very much for your video.

I also use thin CA glue on my dry, exotic hardwood and it surely helps (shellac not so much when they are.. *literally* hard core😂🙈)
Thanks for refreshing the fundamentals!

[alancruickshank]

some of the best turning videos on YouTube thank you

[robertriley]

Hi Kent, I will say that I have been getting kinda lucky with the end grain as I was learning, the last few bowls have had issues and I’m rewatching your videos to see what I’ve missed, turning a bowl to finish with even slightly green wood has proven to be a bad choice as it’s warping in me most of the time before I even get it completely sanded. I also have found that in continuing to follow your advice it is getting much easier to follow your examples and advice example to move your body instead of your arms while cutting out the shape of a project.
I may have missed it but do you have a video on green wood ?

Thank you for your great instructions and advice to help us learn and become better in our turning experience

[OwDo]

Some good tips there. I think I'd already got them just by sheer tenacity. But having them explained was very instructive. Another useful video - thanks.

[turningwiththewoods]

Excellent tips. What about using fast setting epoxy?

[ShaminMike]

Man your videos are the freaking best! I’ve watched a bunch of them and they have helped me a ton. I’m still getting used to using the bowl gouge and man the difference it made when I got a grinder to put the 55* swept back grind on it! I still need a ton of more practice with it but your videos help out so much! Thank you brother 🙏
