Bowl Gouge

Bought a new wood lathe from Laguna and needed some lathe tools. All are forged from spring steel.

Very nice work. However what you have created is a spindle roughing gouge and should never be used for bowl turning. Also, it is strongly recommended to put a ferrule at the beginning of the handle preventing the wood splitting. A catch may cause the tool completely snapped. A bowl gouge flute should be smaller, preferably V shape with thicker material. Good luck

I always enjoy seeing your power hammer work, it is so clean. A wood lathe is on my list for my new shop, I'd like to get into that craft. Thanks for the video.

I have no idea what a "bowl gouge" is, but you certainly look like you know what you're doing. Nicely done!

Great smithing, although bowl gouges are milled from round stock: what you made is a spindle roughing gouge. A lot of people have snapped gouges forged from flat stock when trying to turn face grain, this can be very dangerous! The tang on yours looks pretty thick, but generally this should never be used on face grain turning!

Again this utterly satisfying to watch☺️🔥

I like the long swage you use. Not sure why I never thought of that. Looks like a good solution to the choppy marks I have trouble with when forging gouges

Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)

Nice work all around. Darlington, South Carolina

Such a pleasure Watching you making your own tools, I must admit I steal a loot of your ideas they really help me once I get the hang of them . Cheers. :)

Thanks for the video. I always look forward to yours. Nice turning tools, nice bowl! I also turn wood on my metal lathe, but suffer a guilty conscience. It always prompts me to give it a good vacuuming, cleaning with mineral spirits, and a wipe down with a rag & way oil.

Great video, thanks. I was going to make the same comment, that really isn't a typical bowl gouge...but then I saw the absolutely lovely bowl you produced!!

[bigguy]

Nice, and, as usual, a great treat to see such an orderly and well planned shop. :)

[klausalan]

Great work! Being able to make your own tools and then make a beautiful bowl with them is truly impressive. I would buy one of your bowl gouges.
