You sir are a “Teacher”. When I am learning techniques that I thought already knew and I find myself in a continuous AHA mode I know I’m in the presence of a great teacher. Thanks Jim.

Awesome video. What speed were you turning at?

Never exactly sure as I do not have a DRO. PRobably 1200 RPM

One of the best teachers out there but for the love of God please stop transitioning from talking to the music. This is an educational video not want that is meant to put you to sleep or entertain the transition from 15 seconds of music or less the talking is annoying enough that I would stop watching.

Too many turners not wearing a proper face shield.
