Today whilst Woodturning I have learn't 2 lessons. 1. concentrate on what you are doing 2. that I have now mastered sharping of the roughing gouge. Working away toady with a neck ache, I find the tool rest needs lifting ever so slightly. So thinking to myself "I wish my neck wasn't so sore"...

Hello All I'm hoping some of you could help out, I'm now using an electric lathe and slowly getting to grasps with all the fancy new tools:rolleyes: I've started doing some quite big holes, things like Tankards, goblets and other hollow objects. I've hit some technical issues when it gets...
