Good tips. I don't have much experience at twice-turning and have not considered the points you discussed. This has probably saved me from some major disappointments when I do. Thanks.

I love how I’m sitting at home staring at my pile of bowl blanks and knowing you have a video on what I’m supposed to do next!!

I seriously love your explanations and insights shared. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it's appreciated!

Thank you so much, I learn more and more each time. Can't wait to try turning.

Awesome work and tutorial, as always. Thanks very much! Scott

I enjoyed the turning details and now will try what I learned. I haven't turned for a while now and it's amazing what I have forgotten. Thanks

Great video. Very informative in addition to demonstration which is perfect for learning. Thank you so much.

As always this was another very informative and helpful video. Seeing your technique for engaging the end/lips of bowls was especially helpful for me. I'd been struggling with getting a nice "safe" and reliable start with the bowl gauges... if that makes sense. Seeing how you start with a closed entry then open up once established was like the clouds parted and the sun shone down on me! I used the technique today and it worked wonderfully on a cherry bowl. Thank you!!!

Always worth watching! Would love to see some more single element design ideas - just starting turning this year and have rough turned about 35 bowls (in NZ so mainly pohutokawa, black walnut, brazilian pepper tree) but am struggling to imagine how I am going to finish them once they are dry. Still at the stage where I find anything nicely finished is just beautiful in terms of the wood itself, but I understand that if I want to try and fund this hobby of mine I will have to produce pieces that appeal to prospective buyers and adding interest might help. Thank you!

Thanks for the great lectures! What liquid did you use in solidifying the powder in the crack? Is that wood powder you put in the cracks?

@ • by Woodworkers Journal seems like an interesting way to possibly dry bowls after they have been turned green. Since I don't have any green wood yet , the power company is cutting under the lines near me . Hope they have stuff too large to put in chipper to grind up . I may have to try this method.

So what do you do when the outside of the dried blank is out of round. I don’t see it in this video. Do you cut it while you are working on the tenon with the center pushing on the tenon side, or do you cut it after you finish the tenon, and have the new tenon in the chuck?

I would like to see your embellish process also thanks

Awesome! Very informative video. I didn't see how you finished off the tenon area. Do you have a video with a good example for that area? Thank you!

Just turning time it's not much, I've gotten faster over the decade. But turning is the least time consuming part of this.

Boy, did I find this just in time! Have a whole bunch of rough turned bowls myself, and was clueless how to get started. Do you make the tenons oversized and the recesses undersized to allow for triming ? It seems otherwise I could wind up with to small a tenon or too large a recess for the chuck. Thanks a bunch!

Once again an inspiring video. Yes I would like to see more design tips. Always nice to sit here in Denmark enjoying moning Coffee and a fresh video from you. I have come to the habbit of turning the outside just after trueing up the foot. Not giving me the same room for design experimentation. You did not show the outside turning and my lack of imagination doesn't allow me to see how I could change my routine. Could you explain the outside turning? Or could it be a subject for a follow-up video? Once again thx for sharing and inspiring. Best regards Jens

Thanks for replying. My approach is more like your pear bowl video, where I can make a final pushcut from base to rim in one pass. Doing this while mounted in the chuck would place headstock and chuck in the way. I guess from your reply that you don't mind going "down hill" like you do in the 20 min bowl video and the natural edge video. Right? I have not yet had any luck or good results with that technique and the only reason I have a left hand is so it may support the right - it is terrible at toolcontrol. That is why I would feel like everything is reversed or mirrored finising the outside while in the chuck. Did I guess right on your approach? Best regards Jens

Just wondering if you have a video on the push cut that is used to finish the backside of the bowl. Is there an alternative way to finish the back side without doing a push cut?

@wortheffort

Jason Holman lots of videos. You can use any cut you want. Just have to accept consequences. Check out my 4 cuts video.

Hi, I posted this in the Woodchucker's FB group, but probably should have asked you here because I think I've integrated your method into my process, but there's one thing I feel I need to improve on. the process I've started to use: 1- faceplate blank, rough turn the bottom portion, turn a tenon 2- Reverse and place bowl in a chuck, flatten the top/rim of bowl 3- Rough out the center to establish a diameter to give an idea of what to work with on the outside of the bowl 4- turn the exterior to final exterior design 5- turn the interior to final interior design/thickness 6- sand (& sand & sand, etc.) exterior and interior 7- apply finish(es) (oils/shine-juice/wax-polish) 8- reverse bowl to remove the tenon and finish the bottom (using a jamb chuck, cole jaws, or vacuum) Is there a better way? Thing is my tenon removal tends to blend into the bottom that will remain, and seems like I am removing progress/finish from previous step #7. Maybe I should only finish the interior and wait until after removing the tenon to complete exterior finish? Appreciate your feedback, and really enjoy your videos!

If you haven't already you should look up "golden ratio".

I know that you sand very little. In one of your videos you discussed how the fibers rise when the encounter moisture. I see this when I add the sanding sealer. I have also discovered that when I get to the 400 grit size I get my spray water bottle and douse the wood and sanding paper at a slow speed. Letting the wood and paper dry is reducing the fibers do not lift when I add either the sanding sealer or danish oil etc. what do you think. Enjoying your videos
