Hey All,

I am embarrassed to ask this, but... how do you sharpen a spindle gouge? A regular grind as opposed to a finger nail grind?

I have only ever used and sharpened a "finger nail" ground gouge, so, I have no clue as to how to sharpen or grind a regular grind on a spindle gouge.

Any info, tutorials, or preferably video links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

The best sharpening advise/instructions I've seen are here;

the specific video for spindle gouges/roughing gouges is on page 6 in the video section. The whole web site is worth a read though.
