I uploaded pictures to my album, so you can see what I'm talking about here.
Granted, I'm very low in the experience department, but extremely high in the enthusiasm department!!!
I roughed out a blank last night, and it went very well. I wanted to try my hand at the skew, and did fairly well (considering) on the left blank, but not so well on the right.
The problem, apart from the lack of experience, seemed to be the tool rest. The sharp shoulders of the skew drag and catch on the imperfections of the tool rest, and make a smooth cut difficult.
Should it be necessary to round the shoulders of the skew or dress the tool rest?
