New Tools and Techniques? Video

[Perry Hilbert Jr]

That spatulated parting tool, looks a lot like a round blade. It must have a sharp edge to true the ends of the stock like it does.

Also, I wonder if that hook tool would even work across the grain. Every where I see them used they are turning a log and into the end grain, so the grain would be fairly concentric. Not like the bowls we tend to turn where the grain is perpendicular to the lathe bed

And if you check one of his later videos, 24 hours later about half of the 20 bowls he shows making, cracked to crap.
