I thought this site might interest some. It will take a while to get through it all but at least they use the right names for the various chisels and gouges.:oo::2tsup: No association except to buy off them occasionally.

Yeah, useful pics there.

Though what the right names are seems to depend on where you're born.

Toolpost, very interesting. I read the whole stuff already in 2001, in that time I did my first staps with trying to get something done on a lathe.
There is another Englishman named Brian Clifford,(www.turningtools.co.uk (http://www.turningtools.co.uk)) he wrote articles about the art of woodturning, very instructive for beginning woodturners.
So there is a lot to find on the internet about woodturning, viva the internet!!

AdAn excellent article Ad. I have read it many times. It must be good because he is saying what I have been advocating for years.:cool:

Wow, great site. Thanks . As a relative newbie with turning, I find all of the different names for chisels and grinds somewhat confusing. Good to have an accurate reference...

Cheers,
