Beginners turning podcast

[Ozkaban]

Hi,

I found a new-ish woodworking podcast over at www.iwoodwork.net by Mark Sterner.

The majority of the podcasts are about furniture making, so may be of interest to some people here, but he has started a series of woodturning ones. The podcasts are not for expert turners - it is more of a journey that Mark is taking to master the lathe this year. He starts of very basically (the first podcast is about roughing timber into a cylinder), but they are reasonably well explained and paced to suit a beginner. The production is pretty high quality.

the relevant podcasts (formatted for ipods) are:

Roughing Gouge

Marks reasons for doing woodturning

Skew This

I'd be interested on experts opinions on how Mark goes about the Skew chisel. His Skew seems to have a radius, which I'm not a fan of, but I'm far from an expert on the subject.

The directory of podcasts are here. They seem to be released roughly monthly.

Appologies if you have seen this before.

Cheers,
Dave

I do not normally comment on things that other people do BUT this is an accident waiting to happen. If he was taught by Richard Raffan then he has forgotten a lot.
