Hi Colwin,
Enjoyed watching and learning from your demonstration on the mortar and pestle. On another note, I purchased your signature skew chisel, after watching your demonstration on it’s use. Using the skew chisel certainly has improved my confidence and skill , in wood turning. Thank you Richard

I’ve been turning for about 5 years and turned a lot, particularly during the Covid lockdowns. I made mostly bowls. I turned almost everything with a spindle gouge. Only recently have I got a ‘proper’ bowl gouge. I also go a Colwin skew which is a great improvement on my heavy curved edge one.

Hi Martin, thank you for your kind comments. Thanks for tuning in 😀

Just managed to watch your video thank you.😊

[@pamtnman1515]

Well done. Only wish is you had shown the different connections to the lathe. Headstock we can see, but the different ways you connected to turny bits is a mystery. And also important. Thank you

Hi thanks for watching and thank you for the feedback.

Great video.😃😃

Have you ever made a mortar and pestle with an inlayed copper on the bottom of the bowl and end of the pestle?

[@axminster]

I don't think we have, but sounds like an interesting idea!

[@timplumey-fl5xn]

@@axminster I would be interested to see it done as well. It would certainly add to the life of the mortar and pestle.

My ADD wouldn’t let me endure this.

What a lovely little project, may give this one a go. Who doesn't need a mortar and pestle? Quick question, you mention the perfect circle of your c jaws at 56 mm, is there an easy way of determining the perfect inner and outer circles of jaws? Cheers Colwyn.

Hi Colin, Colwin says: "It's usually when you have 6mm gap between the jaws, size are printed on the jaw box or on the product web page, alternatively a speed sizer will give you the correct sizes for each jaw - www.axminstertools.com/axminster-woodturning-speed-sizer-106795."

for me its way too shallow. stuff will fly out. i make mine much taller and narrower even with a reverse conical form to prevent stuff flying out. try grinding black pepper or corriander seeds as a good test.
