This technique along with the information you have done on the negative rake tool that Steve Jones father used are not only useful to viewers but keep alive the history of production turning. Thank you so much for you efforts, and the detail in your videos, they are very clear.

Thank you Simon, that is idea to store and pass on what decades of hard worked turners learned

Another masterclass tomislav thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you Will ☺️

Your teaching methods, description and showing what you preach are outstanding. Incredibly detailed. I and am sure many viewers appreciate the time it takes you to not only plan produce and then edit these videos. Thank you so much for taking the time away from your busy schedule a a production turner. You certainly are helping to make wood turning easier to do and probably keeping alive this age old trade. Very useful techniques, I already use the spindle gouge a lot thanks to you and Richard and inadvertently discovered it’s use in hollowing but your videos have very much assisted and improved my technique. I still can’t get it completely correct but will continue to try. Thanks from down under.

Thank you Debbie

Thank you for the clear and concise turning class.

Something to note, for me it is much easier to back hollow with wings on a gouge that are slightly elliptical, at least for me. Wings the are flat, alway seem to go slow and heat up, where ever so slight elliptical wings do the job nicely.. translation .. it might be harder to learn to back hollowing with a perfectly jig sharpened gouge at least at the outset.i Thanks for the videos, they are great.

Definitive curved wings helps a lot,mine are also curved, not straight,camera usually don't pick it up

Very interesting technique and something I will definitely try. At first it won't be on anything to which I'm emotionally attached. 😄 Your demonstration illustrated something I finally understood after initially having issues using the tools -- if you are properly riding the bevel and presenting the tool to the wood correctly, it doesn't matter how quickly one moves the tool, one can even hold it stationary and no harm will come of it. I initially thought when I was having issues that I wasn't moving the tool fast enough across the wood and tried to speed past the trouble points and got the expected disastrous results doing so. 🤦‍♂ 🤷‍♂

So timely after my question about endgrain hollowing thank you Mr t

Im just starting out turning i practiced making bowls and saw your shot glass videos on back hollowing. So i tried It not realizing that it was a more advanced technique. Im happy to say though that it was the second technique i learned working on the lathe. Still working on making it faster and smoother cutting but ive only used a spindle gouge and figured out how to scrape the inside with the gouge seeing as i dont have a scraper yet.

Fantastic Tomislav! I don’t have any spindle gouges large enough for this technique. Would it be too aggressive to try with a 40/40 bowl gouge? My gut says probably violent catch territory??

Thank you sir, well you will probably loose bevel contact but if not sure you can always try spining the spindle with hand presenting gouge and see what happens before you turn on the lathe

Love this video! I've used Dennis White's technique for years (on his goblets video) but I like yours better. Yours gets a cleaner cut!

Thank you Richard, let me know how it goes for you

I'll probably have a go soon, but as a beginner I know it will take time. Thank you for explaining so many different techniques

Very instructional. Back-hollowing has been mysterious and a bit scary for me, and this demystified some things. I'll have to try this technique. Thank you!

Great technique Tomislav.

Well done!

Fantastic lesson! Thank you.

Very nice explanation! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Tomislav! Very nice. Why a spindle gouge? Have you ever used a hook?

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

4 ай бұрын

Nope, Hooks are just not avaible and I'm no good at blacksmith as Japanese turners, I like using spindle gouge but bowl gouge can be used as well

Fantastic video Tomislav. Very educational. What kind of bevel angle do you have on your back hollowing gouge?

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

Thank you very much,its around 50 degrees

Great technique! Does that work on cross grain as well?

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

4 ай бұрын

Nope, better avoid as the grain goes different ways and you can have major catch

I love this technique, what is the largest diameter you’ve tried with it? And it’s only for end grain? Thanks for the time you put into these videos

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

4 ай бұрын

No worries Brian, thank You for watching I had turner roughly 3,5inch diameter like this, as long as your tool is long enough, but scraper is in most cases easier ane better tool to finess the curve.... Especially on bigger stuff But if the grain doesn't wanna scrape then this comes in handy

Very helpful. What was your lathe speed in this video

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

4 ай бұрын

Around 1600 rpm

I'm not sure you've mentioned why you use a spindle gauge instead of a bowl gauge to do this technique. I've seen others say to never use a spindle gauge for hollowing, so I assumed you have a reason to use one for this technique.

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

4 ай бұрын

Well , usually they say to not use spindle gouge on cross grain deep hollowing,but this is small scale and even if it was deeper with proper tehnique its ok.... But bowl gouge is ok as well
