Wood Turning Sharpen Your Bowl Gouge Easily Repeatable (Vari jig settings in Description)

IMPORTANT! VARI GRIND SETTINGS IN DESCRIPTION

This is how I easily sharpen my bowl gouge and how I repeat the setup time after time.
I have been asked a number of times so I decided I would make this video.
I use the very first notch on the vari jig coming from the bottom. You can use others but still need to maintain the other settings consistently.
May not be how others do it but it is how I do it and it works great.:

Very good, clear instructions, Gary. I thought you and I covered this a couple years ago, about a week apart. Maybe you didn't go in depth like you did with this video. No matter, I'm sure you have helped many viewers with your great information! You have some very talented viewers, too! Great projects and photos. Welcome all to the wonderful world of turning!
Phil

Thank you from a fellow 1947er. The most important lesson of your video is that turning tools should always be sharp and your method is one that I follow.

[GordonRock]

Great video with your usual excellent information, Gary. Two of the turners who submitted photos to you are personal friends of mine. I will have to contact them and congratulate them on getting their photos on your video. Great video, my friend.
Take care,

[vickiejenkinson]

I love how most wood turners love sharing their knowledge and ideas and techniques. This was super, for them lol. I really enjoyed those pics of pieces that are their 1st's. I plan to go visit them. Thank you for sharing your video with me! Stay safe, Vickie

Great information on the sharpening procedure, thank you so much for mentioning my channel I really do appreciate it!

[hawkeye]

Gary, you and Phil, are the two best turners on Ytube and it's because both of you are happy to teach the rest of us how to turn wood. I wonder how it would be if you guys got together and did a video? Thanks for a great video today.

[maidengems]

I get a lot of ideas from the other people's work you show! Thanks!

Hi Gary, It is so nice to see how a master sharpens his gouges. I also have all of mine with a 35/55 degree so they are the same. The only difference is your results are far superior to mine. Thank you so much for the shout as well, I really appreciate it. Take care my friend and thank you for all your help you have so readily given me. Cheers, Huw

Good afternoon, Gary. I enjoyed your full service video. You covered a lot of topics and I am thankful to have learned from you. A very interesting project.

IMPORTANT VARI-GRIND SETTING INFORMATION!

I use the very first notch on the Vari Grind coming from the bottom. You can use others to your liking as long as you maintain the length you let the gouge stick out and the same setting on the sliding bar on your grinder.

Great video, Gary! I absolutely LOVE that you share other woodturner's work!

[TheTinyWorkshop]

Thanks Gary. It's always nice to know how other wood turners keep their tools sharp.
Nice that you showed the photos you received. Luie and Huw are well known, but there are so many other talented people in the world. This video was an great source of inspiration.👍👍

Gary, this couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I just bought the oneway grinding jig and varigrind, and have been looking for set-up videos to see how people are using them. A nice straightforward explanation of your method. Thanks! Rick

[Popsjcb]

Good information. I have been sharpening using this method for about a year now and love the speed at which I can put a fresh edge on the gouge.

[ScenicCityWoodturning]

That makes it easier, Gary. I have the same jig, but I need to get a protractor to get the right angle. Thanks for showing how you do it. 👍🏻

[radarthewoodturner]

Thank you Gary for your well explained video I'm working on building a sled I still have a way to go before I get into small segments right now I just glue boards together and as right now I freehand grind my gouges keep turning stay safe👍👍👍👍

[jlyssagraywolf]
