.....boy do I feel dumb today..... (I know, I know, but ESPECIALLY today...)
I got some new toys from the local guy who sponsors all the turning demos, I figure the slightly higher price is worth it to keep this guy going, and he gave me 10% off for being a member of the local club, plus free shipping and it came in two days, so I figure what the hey.
So I got one of the new Eli Avisera bowl finishing tools (I'll be writing a review on it, but in a nut shell, you GOT to get one of these!!) and some potions....

.... a nice bigger faceplate, and a diamond wheel dresser.
I was using the old "Star Wheel" type of dresser, getting the diamond dresser was kind of an afterthought, boy, what a good after thought....
The diamond dresser makes the wheels so much smoother, and flatter, it is now so much easier to get nice sharp tools, and they have a finer edge too.
Yep, well worth the money!
Cheers!
