I usually leave a comment for those who answer me. I watch your vids a fair bit and learn from you so thanks for taking the time for this.

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.

Yes! Please film the others as well!! Thanks for the great instruction.

Trevor from Australia, thank you so much for your videos they are just so encouraging.Just love them, thank you.

Always enjoy watching you work, and explaining what you are doing and why.

Thank you for the design class!

Yes, sir, I'd love to see your other decorating ideas. Thanks for explaining your views on amount and dimension.

You have answered so many of my questions and issues in one video. Thanks so much!!

First class vid and very timely as I have just chucked up my first dried bowl that i had previously rough turned. Real glad I have watched your video first because i would not have gone about it in the correct way! also like your tips about design and decoration. Thanks.

I just want to say thank you for all your videos you do. Any level Turner will gain knowledge from your help.

Great presentation! Thanks for the detailed and precise explanations and very good demonstrations of your knowledge and experience. Your explanation of the use of the bowl gouge and its approaches is probably the best I've seen so far. Thanks again!

Always learn something, if not many things, watching your video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Your expertise helps me a lot in my efforts to improve my turning skills as well in other areas.

Shawn one of your best yet, totally enjoyed and learned from it. Thanks for sharing.

The BEST teacher of woodturning on the net. Thank you.

I'd love to see another finish turning video. It's very helpful to hear you talk through your design process.

Very good as always! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge!

So interesting! I love the brass and what you did with the music in the editing! Beautiful bowls.

I loved your video, as I do all of them. You are a great teacher.

Really liked this video. Lots of great tips and ideas. Answered a few questions that I have been wondering about. Thanks so much.

this helps me allot as a new wood turner I thank you

Really enjoyed the different styles of bowls. Thanks Greg

Keep showing us more! I'm an amateur Turner.. I would love to someday be as talented as you.

You are an amazing educator. Thanks!

There are many turners that talk about tool usage and other technical stuff, but you bring that and so much more in your videos. Your channel embodies the learn, create, and share motto. Great stuff!

My son and I enjoy your channel, we'd love to see more of your design theory.

Thank you for the class, I would have been fortunate to have had professors who teach the way you do and still maintain a passion for the topic.

great videos thank you,so much imformation,a joy to watch and learn

Great vid, Shawn! Very informative as always. Billy

good tutorial on the aesthetics of turning bowl designs.

Excellent information, thank you for your efforts!

Well done video that had some great tips.

Excellent, I enjoyed all 42 minutes and 43 seconds, please do more like it.

Great video! even though its over 40 min long you managed to keep it interesting with quality which is an art by itself :)

Wow, lot of info in this one. I'm gonna have to watch it again. I really like your turning videos because that's my weak spot in woodworking. I got a lathe to do spindle work for furniture parts, but you've got me thinking I need to branch out and try some bowls! I'd like to see what you do with some of the others.

Nice work as usual Shawn.

Spot on tutorage, great video. Also glad to NOT see the glove police kicking up their standard fuss in these comments :) pros have their reasons! Looking forward to more

Great video. I loved the one element per bowl concept. I turn a lot of smaller bowls and they start to feel pretty boring. Adding some carving and filler helps to mix it up more. Thanks for sharing.

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!!!

Thank you for making a 43 minute video seem like 5 minutes. Terrific.

I’d like to see your other decorations to!

I've been turning about a year, never thought to re-turn the tennon, but I will be from now on. Thanks.

Interesting - lots of cool techniques.

Very well done! Please show the rest being done. Learned more in that 40 mins than the past year....cheers.

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!

Brilliant!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Duuuude. This takes years off the learning curve. Nice. Great job man.

Really liked this video. All you videos are so helpful I have learned so much about turning watching your stuff. I think I have watched most of them twice. Some stuff I dont really understand like the 3 to 2 dimensions but that's ok. I'm new to turning and most of my first stuff cracked because I didnt know about pith. Thanks for that video. I have so many questions but I'll ask those later. Really like my rough turning shirt. Thanks again for your videos. If you ever do classes I would be very interested in that.

Again a great video.

More please, and thank you!

Yes! Do more on the design aspect. I'm not very artsy, much more concrete in my thinking.

Great tips, love your video's. Ron

Injoy that a lot please more on that line of wood working. an tips

Great vid thanks a bunch for sharing!

I don't own a lathe but I've always want to get into turning. If I do, this is a video I'd want to watch again if I do buy a lathe. Again your videos have the best content I've ever seen, now can I have a free t-shirt,lol! I do have at lest one of your t-shirt...

good vid, thanks!

Very interesting! I enjoyed seeing the detailed design ideas and am eager to try some of these myself. I would welcome more of the same. It didn't seem like a 40 min. video at all.

Thanks young fellow ,lots of info there to try out,new sub. 🦖

I loved this video! I'd love to see more like this; either long form (like this), or short, one-bowl-design per video, would be great! While I love the deliberate instruction videos (where you have a lesson in mind), I also really love these "this is how I do it" videos... that are... less "focused" are more.... just being in the shop with you, type of thing. That doesn't make a lot of sense... maybe someone who agrees with me will articulate it better.

Thank you for the share

love it

I still don't own a lathe but enjoy watching(plus shop is ripped apart and am plasterboarding the who darn thing, so everything's in boxes stored inthe barn...Nice to see someone working with wood while I'm up to my elbows in white plaster gunk....rr in Normandy

Like the burned rim bowl.

Great job, must have been a hella work to put this together 👍

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!

Thank you again for a great video! How long does it take you to finish a bowl (turning+sanding)?

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

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?

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!

How on earth do you you find the time? You must work all day, every day. Well done to you. Regards Frederick

I know this is not at all related to this video but I got a bed from rooms to go and wanted to make a desk to match it but can seem to match the color is there an easy way to match to color of the bed?

If you don't look up the golden ratio, look up the rule of thirds used in photography. Try typing in the golden ratio into you tube and you could end up with a design for a pair of callipers to make, if you don't message me and I'll send if to you.

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

esa vibración se evita pasando el dispositivo por fuera 1 centímetro y le hace el molde por fuera muy preciso no se usted pero yo saco los 3 o 4 cuencos de 1 pulgada sin problemas

Figured you'd be in Portland right about now. Is your dad there?

Did i miss you truing up the exterior????

how to dry wood with dessicant . ..i copied and pasted guess it didn't work .

You sound like you are 1 block from Mopac?
