    Thanks Owen. I'm thinking of getting rid of my pole (driven by ocky straps) in favour of bungee cord. Two questions: Does ir provide the same RPM? How many wraps of bungee cord are required? Thanks.

    Hi thanks for your videos i have just started building a lathe with round wood so adapting your plan a bit. What was the depth you set the horizontal centre at? Not sure if i missed it. Also unsure if you will even see this as you made it so long ago.. 😂.

    Very nice video, THANK YOU! BTW, you may want to use a Swedish lap vise. It is pretty simple & maybe safer than holding your work. All you need is a board, a way to carve/cut/drill some holes thru it & some cord, rope, or strap. Make holes in the board, some people use 2 & turn the board, run the cord thru the holes, make a loop & put your foot in it. Adjust the loop so w/ the board on your lap you use your foot to tighten the loop on your work & your foot hods it tight. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

    Hello! I have the more 162 with Sharp Edge on both sides. And i always use pucjcuts, never the pullcuts. Im right handed.. it feels more natural to push for me. So i have been thinking om buying singelbladed 164 so i can get my finger at the spine for Harder cuts. But i see that i will have to buy the lefthanded to get the blade on the «right» side for me. Is this wrong? Should you always use the pullcuts? Any advantadges im missing?

    Hi Owen - new spooncarver here. That's exactly the hook knife i've got so this demo was great. I'm struggling with hand strength a bit but i'm sure my hands will get stronger. It's a really addictive thing, this. I'd say the hook knife is possibly the most hazardous - it's the only one that's cut me so far. Terrific video - thanks!

    Wow. Thanks Owen. And here I’ve been thinking for well over a year, “I wonder what Twca cam stands/is an abbreviation for”. Did I do the simple, smart thing and do a google search. Yeah, 5 minutes ago 😂🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the tips. I like the natural stop at the front of the spoon’s bowl. Gonna save me at least one good nick. Well, just finished stropping my Twca, time to go have fun. Cheers!

      Yes absolutely though it would take a while and is probably not the best tool for that job. A gouge would be much better for carving a bowl
