Hello everyone,
I've been turning for 5-6 years, mostly segmented pieces and usually bowls. Having been 99% self taught via DVDs and you-tube videos I thought I was doing pretty good until I decided to make a simple captive ring on a 12" spindle. The roughing to round is simple but when I start to make the cove and beads I soon realize that what I'm good at has caused me to shy away from what I don't know how to do. I'm struggling with the spindle gouge and have no idea how to use a skew.
I do have a Raffan DVD "The new Turning Wood" and it has good info. I'm ready to back up and learn some good habits.
Where do you all suggest I go from here?
Thanks,
Tim
