    You make it look too easy, Charlie.
    Repeating a form is what I have the most trouble with. Thanks for posting the pics of your method.

    Sounds good to me, Charlie, I'd like that. I need to learn to make multiple identical items, for wheel sets etc for my scale models.
    I haven't been able to do any gouge or skew practice for a bit - still waiting on my grinder from Carbatec, so I've only been using the Turnmaster and a parting tool. (So much for Carbatec's 10-15 days.)
    I've learned to re-sharpen the carbide tips well now - better than out of the box even. Just finishing a little lidded box at the moment.
    Take care and enjoy the rest of Xmas.
