It is safer to cut the blank using a "vee" fixture, not freehandedly. No safety glasses used until the turning starts, and frequently removing waste without stopping the lathe. Too many "um's" & "er's" in the verbage, think about what is to be said, and say it. An audience respects that very much, it also helps a presenter to establish his/her creibility. Regards, John.

You are going in the right direction on improving the camera angle...shooting over your shoulder would give us your view of what's happening. I have been woodworking for many years but just now picked up a lathe and it is truly mysterious. Much to learn and your video was very helpful. Think about a podcast on sharpening turning tools...another mystery for me. Brian, very good video with clear explanations on the blackboard.

I see where both Tulsa and OK City have <a title="web page" target="_blank" href="http://www.woodcraft.com">Woodcraft</a> stores and both offer <a title="web page" target="_blank" href="http://www.woodcraft.com/education.aspx">turning classes</a>. I also have addresses for two woodworking clubs in Arkansas. I'd suggest giving them a call to find out what they have to offer. Luckily, one of the clubs is in Little Rock. <a title="web page" target="_blank" href="http://www.woodworkersofarkansas.org/">Woodworkers Association of Arkansas</a> 4 Petress Court Little Rock,AR 72211 Woodworkers Association of Arkansas 16 Chicot Drive Maumelle,AR 72113 Also, if you don't mind driving a ways, there is a great woodworking school in Waco, TX. It's called <a title="web page" target="_blank" href="http://www.homesteadheritage-woodworking.com/">Center for Essential Education School of Woodworking</a>. I know that they have a great turning class. (It was going on while I was there for a hand tools fundamentals course!) Good luck in your search. -Joel Buddy,

Turning bowls is one of those mysterious operations that once you learn how it's done, really isn't that mysterious! We're going to experiment with camera angles during the next turning seminar, so that more of the operation is actually visible on the podcast. -Joel Buddy,
