Woodturning: Finishing Cut Bowl with Scraper

Video Transcript

"At this point if you want you can go back to finish the inside of the bowl with the scraper. This is probably a fairly easy way of doing it. You have your tool rest set up so that the beginning of your cut is down below and as you go to the side you are bringing the tool up. You want to be a little bit above center when you are at this point. That way if you have a catch it will drop the tool down. Your objective at this point is to make light touch to take all the scratch lines out that you can see in the bottom of the bowl. The noise you hear is vibration that we are getting from the bowl being relatively thin. Again across the bottom you are flat and then raise the tool up as you are going to the side."
