DETAIL GOUGE---WoodTurning Fundamentals Sam Angelo

Sam shows the "detail" gouge in comparison to a spindle gouge. He demonstrates two ways to sharpen the tool and turns a finial. There are some very nice closeups of this tool and how it is used to create coves, beads, and other details in woodturning.

Excellent video. Story: I bought a spindle gouge yesterday. While sorting through my turning tools...I already had one. I asked myself about grinding the old one to a detail gouge. You answered the question. Thanks for showing how to grind the detail gouge and how to use it. Love the way it cuts on the finial. Thanks!

Thank You Sam.I have been turning for a while and I'm Ashamed to say I don't own a detail gauge. That will change as soon as i can get to my grinder. Thanks again for showing me how to grind it and use it.

I'm still using my spindle gouge as a detail gouge... but... tomorrow is the second Italian annual artistic wood turning symposium, meaning tools vendors, meaning I've got a small budget, but a slid one, it's time to get a new tool... or maybe a decent sharpening system.... Thanks for giving me shopping ideas Sam, as always, a perfect demonstration and lesson.

I still haven't watched all your videos, some I have watched several times. Having bought a mini lathe last January you can say I'm a newbie to woodturning. I am having so much fun learning and believe me I have a long way to go! I'm a scrollsaw er and that's a good thing because if I need to take a break from the lathe I can go to the scrollsaw, or vice versa. Sam, you have a natural talent for turning and you explain things so well. You probably do not realize the amount of knowledge you have accumulated during your time as a turner. I was so excited a couple weeks back as I completed my first lidded box. it's about 5-1/2 " round and maybe 3" deep. it turned out good, made my day. now I'm practicing on simple Christmas ornaments. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with people like me. Maybe one day I'll get to meet you and shake your hand for the knowledge you gave me, thanks again.

Thank you Sam. I love to watch you tool work. I just purchased Cindy's Vortex tool, Pyramid tool and 3/8" Finial gouge. Thanks for the lesson.

Sam, another excellent video. I sharpen my detail gouges as you do in your second method. I do my coves with a long beveled detail gouge but most of my beads and V-cuts are done with a skew. My work horse skew is a 3/4" oval skew but I use both a 1/4" and a 3/8" round skew for smaller beads and other details.
