Never seen before woodturning footage
I did my best with phone camera I have to get the best possible video close up shots to show you where on the edge tool cuts...
I think this can help begginers on how I position various tools..
Hope you'll enjoy
Thank YOU.

Excellent! Sets a new benchmark in showing how the tools cut.
Thanks Richard, that means a lot coming from you ☺️
What a fantastic video Tomislav. So much information and excellent camera work, demonstrating every tool and cut so clearly. What a great teacher you are. I'm learning so much from you. Many thanks Mike
Thank you Mike, thanks for watching and comment
There seems to be an argument over carbides wether they are cutters or scrapers.Scrapers need a burr to scrape cutters need a bevel to cut ,you can’t get a burr on a carbide tool but they do have a bevel.Many thanks for all the info and this close up video really does make everything clear.Please make more of these.
Fantastic teaching Tomislav.Keep the lessons coming and thanks so much.
Awsome to hear that...thank you for watching
Great tips Tomislav. It's like having Richard and you as mentors. Thank you
Thanks Richard, I really appriciate that ☺️
I consider turning a sport, and the skew is the pinnacle, practice, practice, practice, and when the stars are in alignment you just might get a day without a catch! 😂
Yes your right. I normally use my skew for spiral work. 😂
Trust me, You will after all that practice reach a point where you can hold on to a catch or prevent it or control it... And it will be aha moment.... Just don't give up 😉
really excellent, love the way you are developing the camera work
I was taught how to use a skew chisel 70 years ago, and I still use it to round off a piece of wood. There's no better way of getting a finish that only needs a very light sanding. And the skew is far better that these chisels with replaceable cutters that only give a rough finish. More power to your elbow Tomislav!
Excellent tips and teaching Tomislav. Your videos are so easy to follow.... thanks 😊 Loving the close up camera work!! 😊
Thanks sir😉
Excellent, thank you for showing this
Awesome turning lesson! Tomislov, your approach to teaching the various aspects of turning is definitely one of the best. Your videos have become my go to for methods to help improve my turnings. Thank you 🤠🇨🇱
Awsome to hear that Randy, I'm honored... Thank you very much
Thank you for that great clear instruction
thank you tomislav, this is perfect for me.
Awsome to hear that 🤗 thanks for watching

Great video so many great tips. Thank you
Fabulous footage VERY VERY useful Thanks you
No worries, thank You for watching
Excellent presentation again, you never fail to demonstrate clearly what the edge of the tool is doing, I wish other good turners would adopt your video techniques. Greetings from Tasmania 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
Thank you sir 😀
Your a master at explaining the details! I appreciate your efforts to teach woodturning techniques to help your viewers understand the process!
Thank you very much
Excellent video, Tomislav. I particularly liked the camera work and the close-ups of the tool edges. I look forward to viewing your next video. Great to see RR being so complimentary , too. Now I have two outstanding mentors - as others have stated. Thank You.
Thank you Mark, I really appriciate your kind words and thanks for taking time to watch my videos 🤗
Very fine video
Thank you , a lot of good tips .

Thank you very much
Excellent
brilliant, so so useful, thank you very much
Great video so many great tips thank you
This was very helpful I really appreciate the talent you have and how you are sharing it with the world “thank you”.
No problem, thank you sir for kind words and support
Well tommi, once again you have surpassed yourself. A purely instructional video that will most definitely help newbies and experienced Woodturners, or should help them turn better. I’d like your permission to use this video for teaching purposes to aid new turners. I’m a trainer at my wood turning shed, and yes we teach all of these techniques but this video is simply the best Tommi. You have become one of the best if not the BEST, instructor /teacher of woodturning. Certainly my favourite and friends of mine favourite woodturner. Keep up the good work. PLEASE PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA and give lessons and/ or demonstrations of woodturning. I probably won’t come back to Croatia , holidayed there a few years ago, what a wonderful country you now live in. I loved split and Dubrovnik. But we were on holidays. THANKYOU so much for your time taken out of your busy production turning schedule to plan and produce and especially edit all of these videos. All the best to you and family from down under in Oz.
Hi Greg, yes ofcourse share my videos with your studends, I'll be honored... Glad you like Croatia,😉 you pick good cities to visit😀. I do hope to get invited to demostrate or teach around the world, and my wish is to visit Australia so hopefully one day sir... Thank you very much for kind words and support and time you took to watch my videos 🤗
Very well explained. Thank you
Many instructional videos do not get this close to the action. I found it most useful .It also confirmed that just through feel I am doing some things correctly! Well done and thank you Rob Rolfe
Thank you Rob, glad to hear you like video☺️
Absolute great video. You are a great woodturner, teacher and camera man ! Thanks
Thank You, its nice to hear that ☺️
Great information! Thank you for sharing.
I started shear scraping after seeing Jimmy Clewes. You mentioned the 'shine' going away when you shear scrape. Jimmy commented that no matter how good you are with your tools, you burnish the wood by rubbing the bevel. When you start to sand, first thing that you need to do is to cut through the burnishing. After hearing this, I really noticed that burnishing, and this is much more evident on dry wood than the green wood I always turn. One famous, unknown skew master commented, "the bevel should rub the wood, but the wood should not know it". It seems that I get burnishing no matter how light my touch is. One experiment I would have to make is with your detail gouge on the spindles. The inside of the flute looks pretty coarse. I wonder if honing/stropping the flute would make for a cleaner cut. I do always strop my skews. You do have lots of views of your tools as they cut, but I would be interested in seeing your body motion and how you raise and lower your handles as you cut.
Hi sir, I have heard about this burnishing and that you have to remove it before sanding, however I never had issue sanding right after nice clean burnish cut.... And no matter how light the touch is it will Always leave shiny surface.... Mostly of speed that we use to cut wood...you can achive similar by using knife to cut with the grain, it will leave shiny surface.... So I'm not to bothered with that and if your pressure is to high on wood , wood will tell you that.... I was tough that way, wood always fight if you do it wrong. I will do body movement video soon😉 there is a lot of request for that.... I always joke around that we dance a lot around the lathe. I polished skew gouge with like 1000 grit wet and dry, I didn't spend much time on it as I didn't notice any differnce.... And I always use skew or this skew gouge without honing,so straight from grinder.... Works for me but I know a lot of turners hone which is ok if they like it.... That is beauty of turning....we each have different way😉
With the skew, I thought I had solved my problems with clean cuts when I got a 1000 grit CBN wheel. I noticed that it would cut pretty good in one direction, like left to right, but not in the other direction. This was when I discovered stropping, and I think that came from Eric Lofstrom. With honing, you will leave a burr. With stropping with polishing compounds, you remove that burr. When you sharpen your kitchen knives, if you don't remove the burr, they don't cut very well, and every sharpening video will tell you that. I found out it makes a big difference. Eric took his skew and dulled it on the lathe bed, sharpened it on a 60 grit CBN wheel, and then stropped it. It took the hair off of his arm in one pass. When I started stropping, my shew cut fine in both directions, or at least equally well, I generally strop on my Tormek. You can buy 'polishing' compounds at the local big box hardware stores. If you get the black stuff, I think it is about 800 grit which does a good job. No clue as to what the Tormek paste is. I just use a piece of plywood, put a little light machine oil on it, and then rub some polishing compound on it. The old timers with the carbon steel skews would keep an end grain stump of some what softer wood around and stick the skew into it once or twice and that generally removed the burr. The burr from the more modern metals is more difficult to remove. One guy from England, I think his channel is Face Edge woodworking, he sharpens his bench chisels and plane irons on a Norton India stone, which I think is 400 grit, strops the blade, and then gets paper thin shavings with it. I don't think grit is as important as stropping. I have one stone which is 30,000 grit, and there is still a tiny burr left on it. I seldom use it though. Every one is different. In "theory" you should be able to get the same surface with both the skew and the spindle gouge. Stropping the flute may make a big difference. I am one who is blessed or cursed with having to experiment. I blame it on my dad who was an engineer...... If it ain't broke, take it apart and fix it anyway!
@@robohippy we would also strop bench chisels as you use power of body and arms but never turning tools as we have power of the lathe.... Again I never got issue going left to right or vise versa, usually burr will be gone in few seconds on the lathe with skew , and we did do endgrain trick to remove burr but I find it just another step that is not nessesary,for me atleast.... Again I don't have issue with this but if it works for someone else then by all means do it.... There is no ONE correct way to do this👍
Very clear for those who want to better understand their tool control and use.
Thank you Valerie☺️
Great video i learned a lot thanks
Wow! This is a fantastic video. It is only the second one of your videos that I watched. At the end of the first video I knew that I was watching a master at work. I noticed that your tools are pristine. There are so many factors involved in achieving excellence. You make 10 mm thick platters. There are people on KZhead who can’t make anything thinner than one inch. Thank you for sharing your talent, skill and knowledge. I guessed that you could hear not just see what you are doing. I will guess that you also are aware of how the tool feels. Looking at the dust it is really fine which tells me you are using a delicate touch.
You are correct,all the above,its how it feel,sounds when you do work on the lathe as much as seeing... Thank you very much for kind words 🤗
Thank you Tomislav you are a great teacher and you explain everything in such detail along with the excellent video footage, I just love watching your videos
Thank you very much 😀
I've watched dozens of turning videos. You are the first one I've seen that shows and explains in detail how the tools cut. Thanks so much. New subscriber now.
Awsome, I appriciate your support and time you took to watch my videos 🤗 Thank you
Brilliant explanations and great Close up camera work! Thanks
Exellent on the camerawork and the subject matter. Many thanks!
Thanks Joris😉
Superb again
Very useful information thankyou
Thank you for focusing on tool use rather than product. I learned a lot
Awsome to hear that ☺️ thank you
Simply outstanding. So much so that your (everyone's) mentor has commented. Excellent camera work. Excellent editing. Excellent narration. And you have even responded to an earlier commenter who wanted to see Tomislav; something besides hands? Just outstanding; I have recommended this channel for anyone who asks, and this is the reason. And, new to me was an excellent demonstration of, how do you call it, catches? I've heard of them but, of course, in 30-some-odd years of turning, never actually had one, so I couldn't really relate to the term. But now I have an idea of the concept. Thank you for clearing that up. His Highness, Greg, Emperor of the Western Hemisphere
😂😂 hi Greg, thanks for watching and kind words, I really appriciate that... 30 years of turning, woow, I still have a way to go😉 Also like you I have never had one of those catches, but I have heard of those,😅🤔.
What a wonderful video! I have my late father's old green metal lathe, and a wood lathe. I've never touched them. Lol i shoot guns, and value my trigger fingers. 😂thank you for your teaching. ❤
Amazing videography skills mate! Like the way you do your closeups brings the viewer right into the picture (no pun intended) Great to see mate!
Thank you sir, great channel you have as well... Thanks for watching
Excellent video buddy! The close up views are amazing and very helpful. I must thank you again for choosing to share your knowledge and experience with us.
No problem,thank You for taking time to watch my videos 🤗
Awesome lesson on shearing and scraping - just what I needed🎉
Thank you. I needed that refresher.
I am truly in awe of anyone that has mastered the skew. I’m also envious.
Its all down to practice ☺️
Great tutorial, thank you so much.
This is a wonderful video that I will keep and rewatch again and again. Thank YOU!!!!
Awsome, thank you sir
You really can see everything with this new camera work such a nice feeling when you get a nice cut.
Thank you for feedback, glad you liked it 🤗
Nice closeup view of the tool work. Thanks
Excellent video Tom, keep up the great work!
Very good explanation of cutting/scraping techniques. You always make me want to experiment with different ways of using the tools. Thank you!
The level of detail was right on the mark! Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I will recommend it to my woodturning club, Nittany Valley Woodturners.
Thank you sir, I really appriciate that ☺️
Great lessons as usual, keep up the good turning.... nice chuck by the way. 😉
Thank you. I now know what I was doing wrong
Glad to help out ☺️ thank you for watching
Thank you Tomislav for sharing your eperience and knowledge, you are a great teacher!
Thank you sir
Great video and your communication skills are outstanding. You just earned a new subscriber and I will be checking out your other videos in the days to come. Thanks
Thank you very much,I really appriciate that ☺️
Thank you again for a great video. There is so much detail on a wide variety of tools. I love the way you position the camera to show where and how to place the tools. Excellent video.
Thank you,glad to hear you like it
Great video Tomislav.
Very informative, and helpful. Thanks for your effort, much appreciated.
An excellent video with some really great tips. Thank you!
Brilliant lesson's so much close up detail work. you understand the detail efect of the tool 👍
Thanks, Tomislav. I'm new to lathe work, working on turnining spindles into walking stick handles. I've been trying different woods started with Oak, Beech and Walnut. On my laterst visit to the wood store I got adventurous and bought some exotics -African Blackwood, Padauk and Pink Ivory. Padauk is fairly straight forward, Blackwood takes a bit of work, Pink Ivory is a nightmare. Thanks to watching this video I was able to go back to my lathe and with a lot of care and attention to detail I'm managing to turn the Pink Ivory. Every wood is different and requires small changes to technique but with yours an Richard Raffan's videos I'll get there.
So glad to hear that it helped, That was the point of the videos, thank You for watching and support what I do
I am very grateful to you and RR for the generous wealth of knowledge you share with us.
Thank you very much for sharing your skills with us. There hasn't been a video where I haven't taken at least one or two helpful tipps. Cheers from Germany
Awsome to hear that, thank you very much
Спасибо, Томислав! Лучшего видео я не видел! Всегда с нетерпеньем жду твои видео
Thank you 😀
Great idea of filming very close, so people can see exactly what you are doing, and how to position each tool on the wood.
Thank you
Thank you Tomislav, excellent video as always! The camera close ups were amazing, now if I could just learn how to properly sharpen my tools I would have better results. Thanks again for going the extra mile on this video it for sure helps us new turners out! Take care, Wayne
Thank you Wayne, just take your time with sharpening easiest way is to use platform but what ever method you use just take your time and practice.... practice is everything ☺️
Thank you Tomislav for this! 🤘🤘
Nema frke Sara👍
THANK YOU! Great shots.
Thanks
Thank You sir,I really appriciate that
Great video, full of great tips and information. Thanks.
I had just re-watched your 50min skew video last night so this is a perfect follow up for me.
Awsome to hear that ☺️ thank you
Hey Tomislav, ich denke mit diesem Video hast du einen Lehrfilm geschaffen, der in die Geschichte des Drechselns eingehen wird. Ganz großes Kino. Dankeschön. Ich drechsel zwar schon ein paar Jahre aber hier nochmal alle Tools zu sehen wie und wo sie schneiden ist einfach nur klasse.
Thank you soo much ☺️
I wish your 11th thumb up today, and I am supporting you! I enjoy all your videos.
Thank you😀
You've inspired me! I just got a grinder for sharpening and traditional tools and I'm excited to get everything set up to try. I've had a lot of fun turning with carbide tools, but it seems much slower than traditional gauges and leaves a much rougher surface. Your tips on how to use these tools and your other videos on how to shape and sharpen tools will serve me well!
Glad to hear about transition to tradicional tools as once you learn them you will have more fun... Take your time and just practice ☺️
Thanks!
Thank you sir very much for kind donation and support, can't tell you how much I appriciate that ☺️
Grateful to know more about the hybrid skew/gouge. Very instructive video. Many thanks
Thank you, I have several videos in last 2 months on this tool.... And one how I made it as well😉
My woodturning instructor was afraid of the skew. I-was never taught how to use it, and this gives me hope that i can learn on my own. There seem to be some tasks that only a skew can do. Just dont turn it point first into the wood, right?
Don't be afraid like your instructor as 99% its safe and only ruins wood.... You can use a point of the skew only for V groove or endgrain cuts, I have indepth 2 part videos about 2 months old that csn help you learn the skew....
Excellent video well explained and demonstrated.
Great video! If you are looking for a good two part series, you could show beginners all the ways to 1. get your blank onto the lathe, and 2. all the ways to get a finished piece off the lathe. You make it look easy, but many beginners struggle with this, especially when doing boxes and other small items that are hard to grab both ways.
I see, that is great suggestion... I'll see what I can do... Thank you 👍
Good job my friend 👍🇵🇹🆕
Thank you for the closeup! I immediately picked up on a movement difference that was causing me issues.
Awsome to hear that, that is the point of the video🤗
Great stuff! Thanks!
Thank YOU sir very much 🤗
I love your channel and explanations..thank you
Thank You very much 🤗
Beautifully done! Would love to see a tool grinding/sharpening lesson from you. Cheers
Thank you sir, I have several videos on sharpening and there will be more in the future....try going through workshop playlist
Très belle vidéo enrichissante merci
Excellent video as always. I was practicing with the skew today and must have said “thanks Tomislav” a dozen times. One thing I’d like you to show us is how you hold the skew at handle as I find with a peeling cut it’s easy going right to left but feels awkward going left to right.
I understand, I'll do a video on dancing with body around the lathe😂 thank you for watching and suggestion for video
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning That would be great.
G’day tommi, sorry for extra comment, but I like to comment while watching video when questions come to me. Adds are useful for this. When doing finishing cuts on bowls, I notice that you still take a mm or just less cut. I can see that you turn the gouge to keep bevel contac as well during this process. My problem with finishing cuts is that I need to take more than 1 haha🤣 number of cuts actually.to get the finish you do. This can reduce total size of bowl significantly. How do you decide size of bowl reduction to finish cuts you use? In some of your bowls I’ve noticed that your bowls do reduce in size as well. Thanks Tommi
I could take small bites if I have to and usually I always rough turn the profile and then maybe one or two cuts riding the bevel to get the shape and finish, now if I don't like the shape I would use scraper to finess and to get nice surface to sand. Regards the size, I don't worry much about that as usually I go for biggest diameter and if I take more wood off its due to get better looking bowl. Hopefully that makes sense 😉
Very good teaching kind sir.
Thank you sir 😀
Thank you for the video, excellent as always, 1 question, why an asymmetric grind on the bowl gouge?
Thank you very much for watching 🤗 Asymetric grind just fits me the best, I have tried many years ago 40/40 , long grind ,basicly all the grinds and although this is hardest to get it right it Works beautifly for me once you figure out how to sharpen.....you have benefith of tradicional grind on the right wing and long full curve wing on the left for big volume...
