Well tried to make a Christmas ornament this weekend, and it didn’t turn (pun intended) to well. Having trouble getting the ball round with a spindle gouge. Don’t know if it’s the grind or the fact that I don’t know what I’m doing. My guess would be the latter or both to tell the truth. Should I be cutting above center, at center, or below center with the gouge. If the pictures make it and you see a glaring problem, please let me know. About the only thing worse than my turning skills???? ,is my picture taking skills. I think the bevel is at 40 degrees and I’m having a bear of a time entering the cut without the gouge skating with me. Picture of the new Delta and the Sorby estate tools.
