Okay folks.................pony up! Cough up some information and recommendations.
I've got some green peach from Raymond Overman that is begging to be NEs. I talked with Raymond this evening and he agrees. Minor problem.....I've never turned an NE but I've been talking to folks and reading so here's my predicament.
I don't have a real bowl scraper. I'm thinking I need one. Currently I running with a 3/8" bowl gouge with an Irish grind and a 1/2" round nose scraper. Now, I know some of you purists out there don't believe in scrapers. Well.....I do. They work well in some conditions and I need a recommendation for a good bowl scraper....Please.
2ndly.....I've been sanding everything by hand....I mean literally using sandpaper and my pinkies. I thinking when I get to sanding those NEs....my pinkies could become stubbies! So......tell me what I need to sand bowls/NE bowls with.....give me some specifics and some recommendations.
Father's Day is coming up. My wife is sentimental towards my part in our family of 3 kids, 5 grandkids and a soon to arrive great grand daughter.....She and the check book are vulnerable. Make some recommendations.....give me some lattitude .........some options please!
Thanks In Advance!
