Sam looks at the "Bottom Feeder" bowl gouge in more detail. He shows sharpening and the proper grind for this tool. With some nice close up shots he shows that the bottom feeder is the right tool for maintaining bevel contact when turning a deeper bowl.

I have a lot to learn and enjoy your videos and I really liked your explanation the the bottom bowl gouge along with your demo using your pattern you cut out. I could see the position of the gouge working before you explained it. Thanks again.

I have one and it sometimes frustrates me. Your video helps me better understand the tool's positioning and should give me better results. I need to sweep back the right wing more. I hadn't thought of using it on the outside surface but I see its advantages now. Thanks.

Sam, this is perfect timing, I just bought a new 5/8 bowl gouge for specifically doing the bottom of bowls. I have had trouble getting the grind right, not now. I'll be out to the shop tomorrow to fix the grind on my new gouge. You have helped me so much with your videos, I truly appreciate it. You make it so simple.

That was really helpful, Sam. I have certainly heard people explain the specific details about a bottom feeder but nobody has explained the usage of it with such an easy to comprehend description. I've heard that they can be a bit grabby, but I think pretty soon I need to take one of my cheap bowl gouges, re-grinded and see what it feels like. Probably take my bottom of the bowl results to the next level that I've been trying to get to for a while now. Thanks for helping me get there.

@bernardfutter5327 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Sam, you probably have just explained the "lop sided" profile of a couple of old carbon steel tools I bought at a country wood fayre. I soon found they sometimes worked well, then at others had severe catches. It was in my early turning days; I shall get them out again, a small Revo spindle tool and a Marples bowl gouge. Possibly they could become main stream again, when the extra sharpening is justified. Bernard.

The perfect explanation of sharpening and use of the Bottom Feeder bowl gouge. Questions, would it actually be best to hand hone if one does not flatten the wire edge of the bottom feeder gouge? Stay safe, Sam!

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER 3 жыл бұрын

I don't worry too much about the burr on an edge-unless it is very heavy then I would hone it away. The wire edge will ware away and leave a serrated edge which makes cutting more efficient. Sam

How would you compare a bottom feeder gouge to a swept back bowl gouge with a 55-60 angle for finishing bowl bottoms?

New turner, what would be the effect of a negative scraper - how would it compare to the 60° bottom feeder ? I hope to start roughing a deep bowl. Also is there a formula regarding width to depth making bowls

@rickdignem6080 Жыл бұрын

Sam, great videos. Qustion4 you. Most of my bowls are segmented bowls and the walls are straight to the bottom.i have a big problem with catches as I reach the bottom of the bowl. Which is at 90°. I don't want to cut across the bottom as they are designed bases, stars , pie shaped etc. What do you recommend to stop the catches??

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Жыл бұрын

Rick, first toward the bottom of your bowls you may be too far off the tool rest. But you might try a negative rake scraper-they can be more forgiving. I always scrap the bottom of my bowls to clean things up.... Sam

Is a bowl scraper an alternative?

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER 3 жыл бұрын

Good question-Yes I usually finish up with a scraper to level out the surface, providing I don't start with any torn grain. Nothing wrong with scraping. It is a good tool to clean up tool marks. Sam

I am truly surprised that you would use tools from a company that got its start by the way it did.

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER 2 жыл бұрын

Bill, I am just getting to responding to comments. I won't pretend that I don't know which company you are referring to or what the issue is. I am well aware. I have had phone conversations with turners from the west coast on this issue. I have mostly dealt with the "kids" who really run the company in my opinion. I have had nothing but a good relationship with them I have had literally nothing to do with the father. You are assuming I know the absolute truth of this matter: I do not. My last comment would be-----lets all "vet" every tool maker and every woodturner's past and poor behavior so we can make a fair evaluation of the issue. I would imagine there are others out there who have questionable ethics. Sam
