We are newbies !!!
Need suggestions as to what turning tools to buy to learn with. I understand the skew is favorite by many, but also understand the learning curve is steep.
Looking for suggestions as to the best quality, correct size & type of tools which would be most practical for the wife & I to use as newbie pen turners.
Currently considering:
spindle gouge, what size?
oval skew, what size?
round scraper, what size?
square scraper, what size?
parting tool, how thin?
roughing gouge, what size?
Easy Rougher (the small one)?
Any comments as to sizes brand names or any other recommendations would be appreciated.
I have asked this question before as part of a broader request for suggestions on pen turning equipment as a whole, but I seem to be really confused as to which way to go when it comes to the turning tools.
