Hi,
Just a short introduction. I am very new to woodturning, but have done a large amount of metal turning in my occupation.
My main hobby is static model boat building, and soon I will be turning some mast`s down for my present modelling project. Any tips for tapering wood dowelling. I also plan to do some `normal` woodturning.

Hi Martin,you still out there?
How about giving us some dimentions of the pieces you plan to turn.(in inches preferably);)
What type of wood do you plan to use?Some wood turns thin better than others.
Are you using a wood lathe or metal? You'll want a speed somewhere around 1800 rpm (roughly).
