  1. Very informative. Can these cutting tools be used for turning other materials like ebonite, acrylic and resin? Or do i need stronger tools? I ask because i very much want to turn pens with a mini lathe.

  2. I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and turning for the last 20 (?). So, I’m experienced and reasonably skilled. For any newcomers, I can vouch that this is an excellent video with all that you need to know to get good results quickly. If only, it had been around when I started.

    I’ve downsized my lathe now to an Axminster machine. Looks very much like the one on the video – perhaps a little smaller. Having had a large, much more expensive lathe, I can say that the Axminster does not represent a step down in quality.

    I have no connection with Axminster other than as a customer of many years.

  3. Sir by far the best video out there explaining what each tool does and how to do it. I’m gonna save this and run out to my rockler store and get some new tools. I’ve been using carbide scrapper and round head? Tools and I’m feeling limited.

  4. Thanks, 74 yrs old and just getting into wood turning. Bought an old craftsman metal lathe and converting into wood. Haven’t turned wood since 6th grade. My new hobby, I hope lol. Appreciate your teaching.

  5. Impeccable detail, analysis, and information. Thank you lol. I went into this blind and definitely had my tools mixed up based on labeling

  6. Great Job! I purchased a lath a few years ago and finally got around to using it. While purchasing other used tools I acquired about a dozen old lath tools. I have ordered the sharpening equipment for the tools and now I have an understanding of what each tool does. Great job on your video.

  7. I am not proud to admit that I just learned I’ve been holding my chisels upside down. Thanks for having this video out here.

  8. One of the best videos I have ever watched!! As a beginner, this video helped me clear a purpose of each tool. Extremely helpful. Thank you!!

  9. wow, I’m bummed to only be finding this now! perfectly splendid editing and lessons! it’s already sped up on the parts that need it. very concise info throughout. I’ve been turning for a few years off and on and never seen it broken down so properly. thank you!

  10. Brilliant video on how to use each individual chisel. I hope you dont mind me asking what type of lathe would you recommend to buy ,thanks

  11. Thank you for including details like the lathe speed, position of the tool guide relative to center line, and the tool angle. Much appreciated and VERY helpful for a novice!!!

  12. Great video! I’m a new turner, I don’t really have anyone to teach me. This was exactly what I was looking for!

  13. Been fighting with the skew mine were straight resharpened with an arc works better for me thank you for great video

  14. so, starting at 7:35 , what caused the concave curve of the piece? Wouldn’t it cause a straight cut like when you cut with the roughing gouge? Or is there a technique I’m missing?

  15. I haven’t used a lathe since I was at school back in the 1960s, but I’ve recently purchased a very cheap “hobby” lathe from Lidl and I want to start making small stuff, mostly just for fun . . . I like making sawdust!
    This is a great guide to what chisels I need and how to start using them. Thank you for an excellent, interesting and informative guide to get me started.
