Hello From Washington State...
I'm pretty new in the major scheme of things. I have been turning for approx. eight months. I have a Jet Mini Lathe, Small Craftsman Drill Press, Tabel Saw, and Miter Saw that I used to do all my work. The thing is I have not sharpened my gouges in the eight months (yes, as you can imagine they're awful to work with right now), or lubricated my tools either. So, does anyone have recommendations for sharpening. I have a spindle gouge, parting gouge, and a fingernail gouge that I use.
All recommendations on how to conduct maintenance and recommended periodicity is greatly appreciated. Any links to recommendations are great too.
