Sometimes you need to play around with Youtube search. For example "robo" or "robo turning" gives some strange results. "Robo woodturning" will give the list of videos you want. Usually you can enter the turners name or nickname and the word woodturning or woodworker as the search and get good results.

Once you find a given video it helps to click on subscribe.

You can type in woodturning and get lots of results, persons name and woodturning, specific tools, topic like gouges or skews, and once you get on, there are thousands of suggestions. John Lucas, who is regular here is pretty good. I also like Mike Waldt who is from Whales, Carl Jacobson, Brendan Stemp or Stamp (can't remember), and many others...

As Stuart said, use YouTube's search function. In addition to searching for an individual turner, you can search by type of turning: "woodturning bowls", "woodturning boxes", and "woodturning pendants" all bring up long lists of videos. You can also find videos by searching for "YouTube" using the search function on this forum. You'll come up with a list of videos that others on WoodCentral have recommended (and several videos that we're just making fun of).

Once you find a video you enjoy, click on the name of the person who made the video. (You'll find the link right under the title to the video.) This will bring you to the maker's YouTube page, where you can see a list of all the videos they've made. If you find you like this person's video, subscribe. That way, when you come back to YouTube, you can quickly see if your preferred YouTubers have produced more videos.

HTH.

Something I forgot to mention: After you've watched a few woodturning videos, YouTube will start recommending additional woodturning videos. It can be a good way to be introduced to new makers of videos.

One word of caution: Don't believe everything you see on YouTube. Unlike the rest of the internet, which is by law always 100% accurate, YouTube contains a lot of bad information.

There is a lot of HORRIBLE turning information and techniques shown on youtube. I actually find it fascinating that so many tens of thousands feel it's necessary to show us how they turn a widget. Quite a few of these are people that just got started turning, but feel it's necessary to show the world. I've just never had the urge to stand in front of a camera and ask folks to "Hey look at me!" Maybe my German Lutheran family.

You can do a Google search. If you include the word "youtube", most of the hits you get will be for youtube videos.

For example, try "youtube denatured alcohol hot glue" and see what pops up.

Or try "woodturning double sided tape youtube" to learn all about double sticky tape.

Have fun! ~Doc

You can also find use the new YouTube tool on the Woodturning Online web site. Videos are sorted by new videos, turning basics, project type, techniques, tools, and by "channels" which are different turner listings of their videos. These categories make it easier to find videos that match your interest.

The YouTube information has been created by Rick Morris and displayed on this web site. The active video count is around 8,000 videos at this time and we're adding more to bring it to the total 13,000 woodturning videos available on YouTube.

To find the tool, just select Turning Videos from the left navigation column on the Woodturning Online web site: www.woodturningonline.com
