Hi,
I'm just about to purchase my first set of pen turning tools. Questions:
1. Should I go for a 1/2" or 3/8" spindle gouge?
2. What size parting tool should I get? A 3/16" parting tool seems like it would be the easiest for use the euro pens, since this seems to be the typical tenon width, but most pen turners seem to recommend 3/32" or 1/8" parting tools.
Thanks in advance!
