Being self taught in the fine art of turning, can someone explain to me why you would used a curved tool(gouge) when you wish to turn a straight plane?
(as in a straight slimline, which I hardly ever makeI do however will start from a smooth cylinder when doing beads and coves)
Recently started using a 1& 1/2" regular old woodworking chisel(scarier than sharp) as a skew and it is great for leveling out a surface.
no more bumps,
I have relegated my gouges for for roughing only
