Here's my first attempts. So from watching all the videos and reading all the tutorials and advice given here on the forums, I did this.
First I took a dowel rod and turned a pen shaped thing.
Next one was a jacked up board and I practiced rounding a square. Time consuming - but not too difficult. My tool caught a couple times and kind of jerked back.
And the tools. These suckas are DULL. At least compared to my smaller block carving tools they are. I'm gonna have to work on these quite a bit. The skew is useless but the two gouges are okay.
Old Craftsman Professionals. I guess about 18" long. Very comfortable to hold. Just need em sharp.
