    Wheeli,
    Top tip mate thanks, after having that name as a starter i spent quite a few hrs learning an watching youtube vids (i find it addictive) on anchient turning methods, pole lathes, bow lathes, hooking tools, davinci's flywheel lathe, and other treadle lathe's, watermill woodshops, and two person lathes, was quite interesting.

    Neal.

    Neal.

    Edit: answered meself, its used for end grain turning interiour pieces, and takes the place of both scraper and gouge, a tool that allows both jobs to be done without the need to toolchange and at the flick of your wrist so to speak.

    More specifically, when hollowing endgrain, they allow you to take a true cut, WITH the grain, and with the bevel in contact for control, cutting from the centre out to the rim.
