I recently bought a mini lathe for my shop. I haven't turned since high school, over 40 years ago. I was never taught the proper way to use the tools in my high school shop class, so your videos and those of others like you have really helped me improve my confidence and skills.

I watched the original series of a few years ago, and here I am three years later still watching and learning. Part of my problem is I go weeks between lathe time and so forget the techniques. So you are bringing it home Mike. Thanks as always

I swear I need to take a two-week vacation and head over to the UK to learn how to use traditional tools a little bit better and the skew. That tool is the one that scares me the most. Last time we had a little play session it decided to catch and the tool flew 3 inches from my face, and in the corner it still sits. I know confidence comes with practice practice practice, I just keep thinking the fear of the tool will help in some way, but I cannot seem to lift it from It's parking space. Lessons like that would be priceless! Many blessings to you Mike! I'll get it soon enough, I guess.😏👍😏

@rayevans94084 жыл бұрын
Mike. I know Europe and US measure gouges differently. When you differentiate between half-inch and three-eighths are you referring to diameter of tool stock or width of flute. I have ground my half-inch diameter spindle gouge down to nothing trying to find a grind that works for me. I am preparing to buy a new gouge.

Hello Mike, I’ve been watching you’re revisited series (as well as many other of you’re videos) and they have been soo valuable to my learning. One question I have if I may, is I understand from a different video you use the Sorby Pro Edge for sharpening/profiling your tools. Question I have, is how do you achieve your 30 degree swept back grind on the Pro Edge? My understanding was I would technically need to set a ‘pro set’ protrusion of 25 to then use the long grind jig to get 30 degree or? But the Proset does not go any less than 35 degrees. I hope that makes sense and thank you very much in advance. Joe
@MikeWaldt2 ай бұрын
Hi Jo, I don't use the Pro Edge any more, however it is still a great piec of kit. It is however a bit restrictive with achieving certain bevel angles .... like the one you mention. Cheers. Mike
@joebooth30282 ай бұрын
@@MikeWaldt Hiya Mike, ahh okay I did wonder this as since writing this comment, I’ve since seen your latest post on your sharpening set up. Thank you for your thought though. In fact since I have actually been trying a 40 degree swept back grind for a ‘detail’ spindle gouge, which I’ve found can be done on the Pro Edge (using 35 degree protrusion & second hole), which I’m actually finding to work quite well. So I’m actually wondering if trying to pursue a 30 or 35 degree angle is worth it? Thanks again for your reply and help, really appreciate it :)
@asbrand4 жыл бұрын
If you could only afford one spindle gouge, would you suggest the 45° or the 30° angle?

It would have to be the 30° as a 3/8" bowl gouge would suffice for 95% of the other work. Only my opinion though 🙂
