And, as a reference, here are two photos of Stuart Batty's own gouge with its 40/40 grind, if anyone else is wanting to have a go at this.
Note note how straight the wings are. Drozda puts a slight convex curve on hers.Stay sharp and stay safe!

Josh also had a good photo of his 40/40 grind in post #4, shown from a different angle.
And, a few more of Batty's own gouge, here.
If you are still not sure if you are getting it right, Peter Miao's jig, which is specifically for the 40/40 grind, might help. One of the things that his jig does is keep the edge that is being ground parallel to the platform, which is a point that Cindy Drozda emphasises for this grind.
Here is another reference on this same point.Stay sharp and stay safe!

Hi Josh, which handle do you use the most with the bowl gouge ? Am thinking of ordering one and was thinking of a 20"/24" handle and a 5/8"or 3/4" gouge ,
I can only afford one at this stage and wanted to get the right for large bowls
Would like to know what you think ?Cheers smiife

If you're only buying one and you'll use it for both a bottom bowl gouge and a 4040 then I'd go for the 24". I've been doing a heap of production lights at the moment and mainly use the 20" handles as these are only shallow fittings. The weight difference between the 20 and 24 is nothing to mention and if you're using Batty's techniques you won't have much of an issue with body contact, but if your lathe is close to the wall you might have problems when using it for hollowing cuts (depending on how you hollow out a bowl).
If your budget stretches that far I'd also recommend his angle setting gauge, I find it really handy for setting up my platforms for all the angles I use but you might have a better system already.
Cheers
Josh

I don't think SB tools gouges ever made it to the market and Woodworkers Emporium purchased the right to make the handles and they sell Oneway gouges already fitted with the SB Tools bolster. I have a couple of the oneway gouges and really like them, they have a nice elliptical/parabolic flute and a steel that stays sharp nicely. When I need another 1/2" bowl gouge the Oneway is probably the one I'll buy again.
