we'll see what happens

If you can't afford to buy one, they are not difficult to make. See three designs by others (Stu in Tokyo, Jean Michel and one other) attached.

I use 45deg arm angle angle, extend gouge by 50mm from jig and adjust slide length (or just drill holes in fixed bar) for the different grinds.

Maybe he is just trialing the two grinds on one bowl gouge concept. There are a few well known turners who have a modified grind on their bowl gouges.

He tried that line of reasoning, laughed so much I nearly dropped the chisel on my foot.
