Thanks John...had just gotten the #5 back out and was trying to play with it yesterday. This really helps.

You make the very best videos John. They are always instructional and easy to understand. All folks have to do is practice what they see.

One thing I did when I was learning the tools and that I still do when showing people how to use Hunter tools is to just chuck up a blank and show them how to make cuts on side grain and end grain. I show them how to make cuts as if they were hollowing and most find it useful to see how the tool is manipulated out in the open instead of down in a hole. It is much easier to demonstrate the effect you get by rotating the tool through various cutter angle presentations. And if you back the tool rest off a bit you can experience the same forces you might encounter if the tool was inside an object being hollowed.

Thanks John, that's very helpful. I need to get a handle on my new tool and get to practicing with it.

Shear scraping 101.... Same way I would do one with that profile, but I don't have the carbide tools. Doug's fluteless gouge with a burnished burr would do about the same job...

you just have to sharpen it often. Not the #5.

I agree Mike and turning on the end is what I often do when someone comes to the house and wants to try the tools. In fact when I was learning to use the various bent tools I would turn a shallow cut and then move the tool rest back and pretend it was deep in a vessel. Maybe I should add a small circle in front of the tool rest to reach the tool through.

Re: Bowl cut out really helps

Great video. The bowl cut out really helps show your tool orientation being described.

Don't know if you checked out my shear scraping video, but for that, I prefer the burnished burr rather than the grinder burr... Much better edge, and works better for the NRS when it has a more blunt angle, like 60/30.
