    We had the discussion on not using a Spindle Roughing Gouge on anything but spindle work a few months back
    here

    I've no interest in having a go at Pop's Shed and I thought it was a very well made video. And I hope another is made in similar vein. ie done naturally.

    My real shock came from the presentation showing techniques which you wouldn't teach a beginner.

    Thanks SM and everyone else, y'all can can rubber stamp "HELPED" on my forehead, for whatever the thread or source of discussions i've learnt something (or refreshed) today, going to go down and reassess my newbie chisel set, and once i've got my lathe going again my methods as well. I've also got a lot more reading and research and link following to do.

    Neal.

    I missed the clip before it was removed, so can only think / accept that a spindle roughing gouge was used on bowl work ie cross-grain.

    It's funny how this "argument" appears from time to time ie "do whatever works".

    I accept none of it. Accidents happen for a reason.

    In the case of a SPINDLE ROUGHING GOUGE, you can almost shove the tool into a spindle revolving at high revs and not catch, even on the corner of the tool.

    Not so with the same corner presented to a bowl ie cross-grain.

    It's damn dangerous!

    Funny thing is the local club had Ken Wraight up doing a demonstration some time back. Someone was told / warned / advised not to use said roughing gouge on a bowl......

    End result was the gouge went flying out the door of the workshop. "Point taken" was the only response from a suitably chastised pupil.

    So there are at least two rules for beginners turning bowls: don't use a skew (other than as a scraper) or a spindle roughing gouge for this kind of turning.

    Seems simple to me.

    And why not just use a bowl gouge anyway? Made for the task.

    I was not going to answer this as most know my thoughts on this subject.

    I refer you to this thread here: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/you...turning-89491/ as Nick has put up the other one.

    As a woodturning teacher and tutor it is of paramount importance that techniques be taught that ensure the utmost safety to pupil, teacher and equipment.

    Surprisingly, this means using the right tool for the job.

    Experimentation comes AFTER you have mastered the basics.
