Thanks Sam, you are obviously very committed to your lathe work being Christmas day. Here in Australia it was Christmas yesterday, Anyhow hope you are enjoying your Christmas with your loved ones.
I enjoyed your discussion on the spindle roughing gouge. I seldom miss viewing the videos you post on both your channels. How was the tool rest positioned? Was the tool rest slightly below the headstock center point? At what angle was the gouge positioned horizontally when addressing the wood?
That is a very good question. I think it depends on the diameter of the wood, your comfort as a Turner, which I think is very important. A lot of times using this tool you are not able to rub the bevel so you have to find a position where it cuts well. But I think holding the tool at about a 45° angle is a good place to start and I think the Tool rest should be a little below center so the cutting edge is right at center. Sam
