Great video, thank you. I cant believe that Sorby that makes 1000 different tools doesnt make this. Kind of silly as we all run into this SAME problem.

Most of us already have this tool; it's called a skew chisel. The manufacturers of several scroll chuck even recommends using it.

Skew chisel works great - as long as the tailstock and live center is not in the way. If you start your bowl between centers this allows you to make a recess when a skew could not. I guess you did not watch to the 7:20 part where I illustrate this.

thanks for this Mike, I was going to buy a recess tool but like you could see the need to come in at an angle to avoid the center, so after watching this I just made one out off an old file works perfect and took a short time to make. Folkestone UK

Sounds good. I guess you annealed it first so it would not be too brittle?

Good idea. I have two Nova chucks. One with the T handle , a G3 and one with the two bars. This video helped me a lot . I want to make the tool for the chucks. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the information mike, Great idea, cheers Harry

Appreciate the post on making the recess. I love the tenon and can get a good one made in very little time but I've always struggled getting the recess done accurately and in good time. Very helpful.

Excellent. I know you will like it.

Great tool Mike, I gave you a shout out at a recent demo I gave. When it came time to mount the demo piece to the lathe I used the tool I made, and showed the group how well it can work. When I made mine I adjusted the angles a bit and shortened the business end to reduce the catches I was experiencing with the cutting end as wide as yours, I also adjusted the presentation angle so I had more of the tool shaft support on the tool rest, and of course I ground the dovetail angle to match the jaws of my chucks. Thanks again for posting the great inspirational videos.

+Bert Delisle Thanks for that.

After hollowing out the recess to the desired diameter and depth, I make the dovetail part of the recess with a tool that I ground from a small (~1/2") spade bit. It works for me. In fact, a set of miniature detail tools can be ground from spade bits, and you can embed a 6" extension in a wood handle for them. Look for extensions that have setscrews.

Thanks for the idea. I made one today

Wow. I had this exact same problem (creating a dovetail with tailstock in place), and looked for a tool out there that solved the problem. Couldn't find one. My conclusion was to build my own. Great to see somebody already put together the whole working plan in this video. I'll be building "your" tool idea this week! Thank you so much.

it looks like it would catch so easy cutting from so many areas at once, does angling the handle up catch often?

Somewhere between 70 and 80 deg like many typical scrapers. It is not critical as long as it is less than 90.

Good video with detailed explanations...Your hand is a little too dense to see through. :) Not a problem though, I knew what you were talking about.I have a question on your dust collector seen in this video. Is that something you purchased or did you fabricate it yourself. I assume it is used while lathe sanding primarily.
