Interesting stuff to think about

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

Not sure about the choice of title though, Think of the cost if you had say a 3/8" bowl gouge of each metal type, more like -

So Many Choices, So little Money?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Wow.

I'd already concluded that the choice of steel is basically "what works for you" but the follow-on articles certainly give me plenty of food for thought.

I knew that it was a smart move to polish the inside of most gouges, but hadn't really carried that concept through to scrapers. Dunno why, when it's so obvious! :-

Never gave much thought to using a diamond stone to raise the burr instead of a burnisher, either. Hmmm... :think:

Can't wait for his next article re different steels and quality of cuts!

Thanks ! :2tsup:

Did anyone look around the American Woodturners site for input from our very own forumite, "Hughie"? Some great stuff as usual.
