Hi:
I have uploaded another video effort to YouTube. A fellow on another forum had asked for a companion video for my pictorial article on turning a bowl without using a chuck. Since it takes a while to turn a bowl this one is pretty long, even after chopping out much of the repetitive sanding sequences. Since I couldn't put wood back on the bowl if there was a camera problem it pretty much had to be a "one take" video, and it went pretty well until the final segment when the camera focus locked on to my arm as I reached up to turn it on. That made most of the final segment out of focus, but I think it is still clear enough to see what is going on.
The video runs to 13 segments for a total running time of about 1 hour and 40 minutes. I hope there is enough useful information in it to make it worth the time to watch. This link will take you to the page containing all of the video I have uploaded so far, so it will be easier to find individual segments.

Oh, the bowl was turned from mulberry and turned out pretty well.
