Does anyone else do the stupid things I do? I am new to turning, I will post more on that later. This is my first post.
So I am doing my first "hollow form" - 2 inch wide opening - I had been doing bowls. About 9 by 9. I am using an older Oneway hollowing system (I inherited a lot of equipment).
I am going along nicely. I pull the tool and stop the lathe to check my progress. When I start it up, I knock the hollowing tool and catch the hollowing tool on the OUTSIDE of the piece. I get a big grab and pull the piece out of the chuck and it bounces across the floor!.
Perhaps I was a bit tired.
It seems that most of my major issues with pieces come from stupid, inadvertent things like this.
Is this just me?
Thanks
David
