Covers Open Bowl Turning and Hollow Vessels A.

The open bowl video was very well done. After watching this production, I understand how to properly sharpen and use the Ellsworth grind gouge. Great shots, and very well done.

Have not seen the second part to the hollow turning, but I think they could be easily combined. Information is good, especially for a beginner, but a little slow pace. I found myself fast forwarding. As in the bowl video, you get a terrific expalanation of the bowl gouge with a stadard grind as well as the Ellsworth swept back grind.
