Thanks to all the hundreds of people who prayed, wrote, sent emails and called... the support of this group is amazing. Almost everything is done for funeral on Thursday which will be trying. She was...

Thanks everyone, your order was sent out yesterday (my Thursday) and thanks Nick for taking the time to do this. It's been very busy around here even with help we can't seem to keep up. Thanks...

Neil, thanks... a picture is worth a thousand words.

To Cool... everyone needs a toy like that... what digital microscope did you get?

Neil,
Thanks for posting this info. One thing that can be shown from these pictures is the U shape gouge is not the best choice for roughing because of the large nose radius and small wings... this...

Ern,
Here's another thread about grinding... I don't have time to copy and paste this over here but you can.
Bowl gouge basic grind profile

His finish cut a push cut using the radius, I'll see Stu at the end of the month and will try to get pictures of the grind.

I prefer a V shape flute over a u shape anyday but when it comes to a U shape flute think... Push cut, Stu Batty finish cuts, roll the tool and use the large radius to your advantage to shear the...

Ern,
I do understand and thought nothing wrong... at times I just don't have a answer why something happened.

What I do know is I found someone who can push this steel a bit farther so testing...

Erm,
Personally without any fact to back it up it does seam like tools work better when they have been ground a couple times... it could be as simple as the grind changes so they feel better but I...

I was able to track the other package down today, it just landed on the shores of oz. Why or I should say how can two packages be sent at the same time arrive more than a week apart.

Computer crashed :o and just got back online. The two packages were shipped yesterday priority mail so 7 to 10 days they should be in oz. Thanks again for the placing the order.

I'll toss in FREE shipping to start if you get a order together.

Thank you, everything is packed and ready to be sent out today (Thursday) it's 2:30am here. Shipping to Australia is about 7 - 10 days... now I wonder who paid the shipping... hummm.

Thank you...

If you don't know what flute shape to get go with the V shape flute because it's like the Sorby's, Ellsworth... etc. My U shape is just like the letter U with a large radius at the bottom, if the...

First of all Thank you! Now let's have fun.

As a surprise a person stateside offered to pay the shipping for his woodturning friends in Australia. I can't say who but he knows someone here... I...

Help is closer than you think, Bill Grumbine has a video about basic bowl turning plus he is just a hour south of you.

Ern,
Sorry to take so long to get back to you but it's been busy around here. The handle looks very nice, let me know what you think about the steel. Roughing is were these tools stand out, some...

Ern, since your talking about it what diameter and length is the steel in Johns hollowing tools. (mm's is fine)

Ern,
The3/8 blank is setup to make a 3 point, round skew or fluteless gouge. For John Jordan I made his bowl gouges and detail gouges, John does the hollowing tools but I could make them when he...
