Boy. . . THIS is GREAT! I've watched this twice now. Can't tell you how many times I've watched the Vimeo series. He just makes so much sense. Thank you Mid-Maryland Woodturners for posting this excellent video!

It's always good to watch a refresher from Stu. The 50 plus people that gave a thumbs down have no idea they were watching a master at work. Thanks for putting the video up. Aloha

Absolutely FANTASTIC! I really learned a lot from Stuart's tutorial and I will be searching him out for more. My sincere thanks to the Mid-Maryland Woodturners Club for making his presentation available.

On a more serious note, nice to see someone who knows and explains both what and why, not just the what.

Of all the excellent bowl turning videos on youtube, this is the best. I freehand sharpen my tools. So I took a quick measure of the bowl gouge that I use most. Turns out it is almost exactly 40 deg. on the tip and the sides. I never knew why it cuts so well until now.

Great information, years of trial and error, technique and knowledge packaged to teach and explain why and how to achieve desired results. Much Appreciation, keep it up your doing good work. Two hours saves many people years of trial and error. Take care

Old style traditional turning is what everything you know is based on. You learned correct fundamental theory and practices. Without you even realizing it, your new ideas are based and formed by your intimate knowledge of traditional wood and turning. Great video, great information! Always respect the Old Masters, they know stuff that will take us a lifetime to aquire. I have found that most of them will share eagerly if approached by someone with sincere, solid, and earnest intent. This video will require me to watch several times to absorb all the ideas and information! Most excellent! Thank you for sharing with us!

Thank´s from Germany. It´s hard to understand for a bavarian guy, but i got the main things. You teached me very well. I will watch this video more often, to understand your jokes, too. Have a good time, keep on turning.

You earned a subscriber. I just bought a $99 lathe. It came with no wood turning tools so I used my chisel set. But it wasn’t easy. You have given me so much information and I appreciate it. Cheers.

Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks alot for this video! Did learn more in this 2h video than by "experience" in the past 2 month. Than you very much Stuart!!

Fantastic video, they say the Apple never falls far from the tree 🌳. Stuart is definitely a chip off the old block. What a brilliant tutorial, from an equally brilliant word turner. Well worth the two hours. Your dad is looking down & smiling with pride. 👍🏻🇬🇧

Stuart is an amazing presenter and artisan. Finally someone who explains all the mechanics of woodturning. Lots less fear of doing something with that spinning piece of wood now....

Each time I watch this video, I pick up a pearl of wisdom I missed the times before.

Thanks Stuart and Mid-Maryland. This another high class prsentation from a craftsman. So much info and brilliantly presented.

Thanks MMWC and Stuart Batty! This video has a wealth of good useful information.

Watching from ZANZIBAR ISLANDS, thank you for teaching us best ideas, thank you again

Thank you so much for sharing this class. I've learned so much!!

Always learn so much from listening to SB. Thank you for posting.

Excellent, his father taught me how to wood turn back in 1994 from his home in England. It’s been a very useful skill ever since 👍😄

Thank you for uploading. Very informative. It's nice to see someone with so much passion be able to explain exactly why his techniques work.

Dude, I'm new to turning! I just make pens that took me 5 hours because it beat me up. I just finished turning a pen in 10 mins! It took wood off so fast it made me nervous! Thank you so much!

Stuart's bowl turning is world famous, but I really appreciated seeing his approach to articulating the dos and don'ts of spindle turning

Excellent thankyou to group for making available and to Stu for clear explanations

Thank you I really learned alot about refining my technique and I love the 40/40 grind, cheers! Watched twice now no doubt will refer back to it, so many great tips.

Excellent video. Thank you Stuart, thank you Maryland woodturners.

Had the pleasure of watching him a few times at SWAT in August (Ashley beat him, BTW) and he is indeed masterful. A must watch for anyone who hasn't seen him.

This was the best instructional video I've ever seen. I wish I had half the knowledge and talent!

Lots of information in 1 video, thanks Stuart. Take care Rob

Really enjoyed learning to turn better and easer thanks for putting this so that people like me can learn.

Was glad to see him make a left handed cut for once , for us left handed turners ( we have to adapt quite a bit ) especially using the 40/40 grind and the push cut

The work done in the video is formidable but, the gouge makes me drool. Thanks for your time and dedication.

That one figer demonstration part is priceless. I'd like to quote Richard Turner. "Practice does not make perfect. Perfect pratice makes perfect."

Loved the class and love watching Ashley Harwood. I haven’t turned a bowl yet I just got the tools but have been just watching videos I learn by watching cant learn by reading

Awesome video and a very good job instructing.

A superb demonstration and tutorial ... what a magical turner Stuart is ... as was his Dad.

This video is just the holy grail. I've watched it 4 times now and I pick something up each and every time. Can't wait for the opportunity to meet the man and watch him live.

Such an awesome demonstration. I feel like he´s leaking a military secret. He makes it look SO easy. I´m going out to practice..

Blew my mind. Can't wait to get in the shop tomorrow and give those techas a go.

Brilliant. Watched the entire video and am truly impressed. Great stories to go along with the teaching. Thank you! Usually it’s a challenge to watch videos this long but so much solid technique and information I want it to be 2 more hours. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the demonstration.

Brilliant wood Turner excellent video

Thanks Stuart for this video. I put into use straight away and I was so impressed how quickly you can work, I have only been turning 6 months n love it especially when you get great info like you give. Thank you.

Masterful demonstration.. NOW I understand about negative rake thank you

He teaches us the value of always thinking. Tradition is good, but improvements can nearly always be made; gotta keep an open mind.

Really interesting and very informative. Thank you for sharing your experience & skills. 👌🇬🇧🇦🇺🔭

Really a class act - great skills. Lots of info. I loved this

Thank You for sharing I learn so much from this video .

So glad you shared this! It was excellent!

I come back to this video every single time I cut pommels

amazing woodturner thank you very much for sharing this video

Really great video and lesson on many points of turning.

Thank you for the reason on a 40/40 grind and when it’s used.

Great demonstration, thanks for posting. I finally understand the physics of negative rake scraping and why my skew would work sometimes and sometimes not, it was the luck,of the draw which side the burr was on coming off the grinder.and which side was up when presenting the tool to,the wood. I see a couple of negative rake scrapers in my tool wish list, and Christmas is coming.

An absolutely must see video!

Learned more in these two hours than watching days worth of 3 minute videos. Need to grind me a new gouge now.

Never touched a lathe in my life but I now feel like I could run out and make a quality bowl. Fantastic video

Negative rake is also used in the metal turning industry and has been for MANY years!! Positive and negative rake tools all have their purpose!! I was in this environment for 46 years. I am just getting into wood turning again after a long time away.

I neeeded this lesson! I will have to practice this but it helped my first bowl after. I had heard of him but now I understand why others brag on him.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Great video! Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Полезный ролик, подписался, удачи в творчестве!!!

great dimo lots of useful tips i have learned a lot thanks

i always pay EXTRA close attention to safety advice from blokes missing fingers ;)

Excellent video, thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for sharing!

Nice video lots of useful tips, tricks and information. It would have been nice to see his notes he was drawing off camera . ..also the picture in picture would have been nice to show closeup of tool position and angle of approach , etc..

You are amazing woodturner

Would someone put a time stamp in the comments where he recommends the gouge shape? Thank you. Amazing presentation.

Brilliant-thank you

amazing. Wow.

Sorry to hear that mate. I loved working with my Dad. He was the best father ever.

This guy is great!

Thats a monster lathe .

Thanks

Hi, Stuart, I love your videos no crazy music so easy to follow I wonder if you can help I'm just starting turning I have a nice little Jet lathe but I get hung up on the chisels what one to use for the job is there any advice you can give Thank you Regards Steve UK London Be safe

Really great stuff I learned a lot of love to take a class from him

It is so refreshing to watch a physicist turn wood.

"...The logs are already there..." They literally came off the back of a lorry. :D

The closed caption text is hilarious.

Thank for this video MR Betty i come from Germany and my english is bad I have many Technik looking for this video

Makes it look easy

To get the edge speed up to 40mph if you are using a wet blank how do you stop the centrifugal force sending the water inside the wood all over you and your lathe?

It was very interesting!

Great video.... I think tomorrow I'll increase the speed on my Record Power CL3 - have never seen any one turn a bowl over 1000 rpm CL3 Spindle speeds: 475, 670, 985, 1410 & 2070 rpm (I 've been so used to turning at 985rpm).... will have to use the tail stock as suggested :)

Nice info. Would like to see the off camera parts too,we miss a lot of what he says there

Can someon tell me the actual truth. I bought a midi lathe i think its 10 or 12x 16or 18 its a craftsman half horse. Is the low power going to take like a significant amount longer even on like small bowls and studf to turn than on a big power house lathe or is it technique

Which 40/40 is he using? Elliptical flute? 5/8? 1/2? Looking for it on the woodworkers emporium. Thank you

u have video on sharpening a 40/40 stu

Amazing! I actually understood at least two words per sentence! Does that mean I can try woodturning?????

Just got my 12 year old powermatic. Will 16 mm toolrests fit.. would like to get some axminster tool rest.

Amazing I used to work word commercial 20 yrs ago and now getting back in so thought I would brush up saw this so I watched clear to the end I am blown away Please help what is his email again

cool stuff

Would have been nice to actually see his explanation of the jam chuck and other explanations on the paper. Other wise nice video and excellent teacher. Loved it.

Very nice. I’m only 1/3 through the video in case you mention it later but. Who makes your tools?

Interessante, mas, gostaria de receber essa postagem com tradução para o português brasileiro

Nice if we could of seen what was being done on the board ?

What brand of tools are you using in this video? Very good video.

And the Geordie accent shines through ;-)

I came twice !!! and then again at 45’ to the left and 45’ to the right! I’m super confused and hung about moisture causing cracking problems Turn wet or turn dry? If wet and green how fresh should it be? I get all my lathe turning materials from hurricanes! I air dried some logs on my front porch for over a year to get the cracks out, the wood is stable but they are difficult to turn into bowls. Where do You get your turning blanks? When you get a crack how do you fix it? I use Tite bond and sawdust..... Wood never dies! It’s always Moving------cracks can be beautiful too!

Stuart what grit of CBN wheel do you use for the finish sharpening on your turning tools? I love your videos and would someday like to come watch one of your demonstrations.
