    Your site is the one where I actually learn things. The other sites are mostly flash, and don't have a realistic showing of the real time needed, or even telling how or what they are doing. Is will soon start binge watching as the weather gets colder and drives me back inside.

    Thanks for the great video and excellent explanation of the “how’s and why’s”! You truly “shorten” the learning curve and increase the safety factor, all without having to learn it “the hard way”! Your site is one of my “go to” sites for instructional learning! You are super knowledgeable and an excellent teacher! That’s a great combination!

    Kent, thanks for your very thorough explanations on wood turning projects. I am 75 years old and have been turning about two years and learn something new every time i turn on my lathe. I am going to start using jam chucks and this helps me to move forward in a safe manner. I always revert to your videos for my first line of instruction and your manner of teaching is easy to understand and put into practice.

    Hey Kent, I am a craftsman, I do everything from fine wood working to building custom homes. I am now retired and always wanted to learn lathe work, I did it in college some but only a few projects on a lathe. I have ordered a lathe and am waiting for the delivery. So for now I am learning things by watching. Thank you for your lessons, You are very thorough and easy to follow, I appreciate your knowledge and time. John

    Hi, Kent I’ve owned a midi lathe for over 20 years, and originally I turned lots of pens. I finally tired of this and got more active in other woodworking (furniture/cabinetmaking). Other than occasionally turning a small item such as a finial, knob or tool handle, I had not touched the lathe. However, during the pandemic, my 65 year old brother asked me if he could try his hand at turning, He had never had any experience woodworking but basically had nothing to do, as his job as a school bus driver had shut down. His interest sparked my wood turning interest, and he and I get together several afternoons a week and are turning bowls. I have never used a jam chuck, and after viewing this video, I am heading downstairs to turn one for our use. I have been following your videos for the last couple of months, and have learned quite a bit of the usefulness of the bowl gouge, as well as I have refined my sharpening procedure as well. Thanks for all the help!! Greetings from Birmingham

Today was my first ever bowl or wooden cup for my desk to hold pens. I did have a few bumbles, no injuries. So I am still groovy. I will be checking more of your vids and website out. Thank you again. TONS of info with "Reasons why", very easy to follow along. Good Man, Great Teacher.

    You are a wonderful teacher, concise, well spoken explanations that communicate your knowledge and techniques. Your video quality, lighting and sound are also some of the best I've watched on KZread (and I've watched a lot of turners here). I subscribed after watching several of your presentations. I'm a novice turner using a Jet mini-lathe. It's been good to learn on but has limitations as my desire and skills have developed. I turn mostly cherry, pear and walnut into small bowls. My wife and daughters like these and I give away some as gifts to friends. I'm considering a Laguna Revo 15/24 lathe as I've limited room in my garage/woodworking shop. My daughter just had an old sugar maple removed and I have access to many feet of 12 to 15 inch diameter logs from major limbs. I've already prepared several bowl blanks with many more in the future.

    Thanks Kent, I made a jam chuck based on your instructive video. Then, not finding an appropriate foam, I ended up with covering it with some hot-melt glue. Not easy to apply it evenly, but well, it doesn't need to be perfect after all. So far so good, my Kent-inspired jam chuck works nicely for me!

    I just watched making tenons and then this one on the jam chuck. Very informative. I've made 3 bowls now and 2 of them went flying off the lathe. If you could add some approximate measurements while demonstrating it would be helpful. I'm guessing the jam chuck was about 6 x 4? I can't wait to get my own woodshed set up. You've made it seem doable. Thank you

    You can also uese a jam chuck with a four spur chuck although it it mite be risky it works in a pinch. If you are going to do this you should make the jam chuck reletively thin. If you don't have a four jaw chuck it is much safer to atatch the jam chuck to your face plate.

    Hi Kent. I want to compliment you for (all of) your video's, especially the audio. You have a very pleasant voice to listen to, and your comments are very well articulated (English is not my native language). With my eyes closed it's almost meditative (you should consider making guided meditations). More important, your content is always well made and a source for answers to many questions beginning with 'Why?' (lots of content outthere adress only 'How?'). I have still a lot to learn, your content is a very big help, so thank you! Kind regards, Ray.

    Thanks Kent, I always learn something valuable from your videos. I wish I had found your channel before I tried turning. I didn’t know ANYTHING, tried using a roughing gouge on a bowl blank and still have not found the 1/3 piece of the blank that went flying. I’ve found it better to learn from you and others rather than trial and error. Tex

    Thanks Tex. Be safe! A quick additional tip, don't use a spindle gouge on a side-grain bowl blank to remove large amounts of material. The spindle gouge can not handle the force of the end-grain fibers and can also break. A spindle gouge can be used on a bowl blank for small work like tenon shaping or rim details.

    I did the same thing with a nice bit of newtonia lol. Chunks flew everywhere. My chisel starter box said the roughing gouge was for turning sqaure to round. I figured i was presenting the tool wrong, so i had attempted all manners of idiocy before i took to the internet and learned the error of my ways. The bowl turned out lovely in the end, albeit a little smaller than i had hoped for.

    Hello Kent, Found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Although I only do segmented work, I have learned so much from your videos. I subscribed after watching the first video. I must say your method of teaching is superb! I really appreciate the time you take to explain every aspect of the subject matter you’re presenting. I am a carbide guy, mostly because we were full time RV’ers and I didn’t have room to carry any kind of sharpening system. I only have access to a Woodshop with a lathe here in Arizona where we spend our winters. You mentioned in the video a “tailstock extension”. I could make good use of an accessory like that. I didn’t find a link to it. Can you post it? Thanks again for your great videos!

    I recently found your videos and have really enjoyed the practical, straight-forward guidance you've provide. With respect to jam chucks, I'm surprised that so far, I haven't run into any videos of pro turners using the Cole jaws...which I would think one would use on bowls. Is that like carbide bits and all...something pros eschew?

    Ha. Maybe. I think Cole chucks are ok, but they require too much set up and only work well with bowls that have appropriately conforming rims. The jam chucks accommodate almost anything, including natural edge, complete irregular rimmed bowls. Thanks and Happy Turning!

    I've started watching your videos recently. I have been turning for the last year or so, though I have mostly used carbide tools. It was cheaper to buy them than to buy gouges and sharpening system at the same time. Though I have been buying bowl tools and a grinding system. I have been nervous to change over from the idiot-proof carbide to the learning curve of gouges. Covid has killed all of our local group meetings, so it has been really nice to watch these videos. When you turn bowls, do you prefer a tenon over a mortise? I started with a mortise and tend to throw bowls the couple of times that I used a tenon.
