Bowl Gouge

[Glenn Hodges]

I have a pile of gouges, but use my 5/8 Glacer, and 5/8 Thompson V gouges with an Ellsworth type grind 95% of the time.

I have a Sorby. It's called a fingernail grind. Thats where i got the term. I called it sind grind before that. I like the tool Not sure if i've kept the grind liek i should have but I figure if i find the sweet spot and it cut then i'm good. I just want to learn more about the gouges before i buy another one. I really am interested in the Thompson can you explain the U and V ? Thanks.

I just got a Thompson 1/2 in V grind and watched the Bill Grumbine video.No catchs in the bowl I just did . I credit Mr Grumbine in making my turning experience a more enjoyable endeavor. The Thompson V bowl gouge did not load up and was a true pleasure .
