techniques? Didn't see any!

Hmmmmmm. Each unto their own I guess. Personally I'd get pretty pee'd off having to change back and forth on the chisels to be able to form the shapes. I'm not the most able spindle turner (but getting better) in the world but after roughing it down I think I could have done most of it with a single chisel (not the skew though as it still scares the bejesus out of me). But as I said if it works for him so be it.

Nah, half scraper action, half skew action, all to go with half a brain

Where do I get my money back? If I can't get that 11m36s back then I'll settle for my admission fee. That was possibly the most tiresome video I've seen in a long time.

As for his thoughts about turning tools, I'd like to see him handle a piece of recycled ironbark fence post.

For those about to hit the play button, the action doesn't start till about three and a half minutes, he blew a whole lot of air before then and a whole lot after.

Oh dear.

I thought chisels where dangerous to use on a lathe Ps love these little icons

[wheelinround]

He's lucky he had a lathe to start with I only had a drill press and not even HSS chisels like he has.

I've seen it mentioned on this forum of using screw drivers fashioned to use, nails and know of turners who use dental picks, hatchets, chainsaws, pen knives oh and the old favourite an old file. One bloke when I started on the forum was using an electric plane for roughing down his form of spindle gouge. The files last I have seen in many an old turners collection fashioned to their relitive need.

The two he fashioned with opposite angles he would have been better grinding into correct skew shape with bevel either side.

Interesting techniques After 6 minutes I had seen enough. Mostly scraping and I don't like his idea idea of shear cutting.

[TTIT]

I gave up when he said "..it's a bit rougher but I think it's faster" ...... than what????

...and I don't want to even try to figure how he see's that roughing down as 'sheer cutting'

He should not have bought the bloody video camera<label for="rb_iconid_13"></label>
