1200. SPINDLE GOUGE DELIGHT.pdf

The skew chisel is responsible for more word-wind than any other tool in the turners repertoire. The most difficult chisel to master, it becomes a smug look of accomplishment for those who know how to use it and a sheepish avoidance of conversation for those who cannot. As if it were some rite of passage for woodturners. And yet, it is completely over-rated as a chisel. Having only a very limited range of application, the return to the woodturner for the effort it takes to master a skew chisel is very poor indeed. IN THIS ARTICLE, I will teach you in great detail how a modified spindle gouge, on the other hand, will leave just as good or better finished surfaces. It is very easy to learn how to use, to control [seldom if ever creates catches], and to sharpen. Its wide range of application allows it to put a finish-surface on 90% of turned wood articles including the outside and inside of bowls. This article does not deal with bowl turning. The companion article to this one does: BOWL TURNERS DELIGHT.pdf

* The greatest shortfall of magazines and books is the limited space they are able to devote to an article due to the cost of publication. The article must by necessity be compressed, as is the information provided. This is not a limiting factor with the internet.
