Thanks from Ontario as well..... Excellent clear advice...... I've been turning for almost fifty years, and have always defaulted to gouges, after a catch. (For years at a time) I've had the grind wrong on my inch and a quarter (old file) since the beginning. Technique was iffy too.......... Goodby sandpaper........ :)
I mostly turn metal on a gearhead engine lathe and found a certain strong but limited intrest in wood turning that way. I love to do it, but it will never be something i do very often...or be very good at. That said...i absolutely enjoyed your presentation. Many woodworkers write about using a "classical" grind and archieving work through "feeling" yourself through the cut. You kinda show the reality, of course there is a gazillion of grinds, just like in metalturning, which all have merit....
Thanks for the video John! I've found the skew to be very much like the driver in golf -- hard to learn but if you can make it work for you it really helps your game!! I have a long way to go!!!
In case you couldn’t find an answer in all those years - the toolrest ist above Center. That makes tool control a bit easier. But try it yourself, its important!
Excellent video, and of particular interest was the 'V' tool. Found one in a set of tools I inherited and thanks to John I now know how to use it.
Thanks again for another very helpful video, John.
Excellent tutorial John, thanks for taking the time to upload the video.
Cheers
Mike
