Hello again < I apologize for flooding this forum with questions but I really don't know anything about lathes at all and this place is the best place for info Thank you all btw... anyway Since I don't own a bowl gouge of any kind and (as previously mentioned) I am a poor wood worker what are the down sides to taking a piece of steel and attaching one of those little carbide cutter wheels to the end of it ? will that work the same ? or am I way off base with that idea I have the steel laying around and it seem that I can get one of those little wheels for 10-15$ I don't want to keep it forever maybe just until I make the coolest bowl ever and sell it for hundreds of dollars and buy a cooler better bowl gouge .anyway thank you all for the advice and info It really has been a pleasure learning from everyone of you
Thanks again
S.
