Interesting Reading.

[RETIRED]

I thought this site might interest some. It will take a while to get through it all but at least they use the right names for the various chisels and gouges. No association except to buy off them occasionally.

Yeah, useful pics there.

Though what the right names are seems to depend on where you're born.

....might have to take a vacation from turning to get thru it all

Toolpost, very interesting. I read the whole stuff already in 2001, in that time I did my first staps with trying to get something done on a lathe.
There is another Englishman named Brian Clifford,(www.turningtools.co.uk) he wrote articles about the art of woodturning, very instructive for beginning woodturners.
So there is a lot to find on the internet about woodturning, viva the internet!!

An excellent article Ad. I have read it many times. It must be good because he is saying what I have been advocating for years.

Wow, great site. Thanks . As a relative newbie with turning, I find all of the different names for chisels and grinds somewhat confusing. Good to have an accurate reference...

Cheers,
