I had turned a few and they turned out fine. Now I seem to run into more troubles.
Perhaps I'm getting too aggressive. Wrong angles with my lathe chisel, or . . ?
For now I'm a hobbyist. Not into selling my work yet.
I sharpen my chisels each time. Have the Worksharp 3000 with the Tormek adapters to get the right angles.
I use the roughing gouge a lot. Like a 3/4 in? That's what I see in videos a lot. Somehow that seems too big once the blank is round. Should I be stepping down to a smaller chisel? What type of chisel?
I have a seemingly complete set, 8 chisels, PSI's Set of 8 Benjamins Best HSS Lathe Chisel Set Item #LCHSS8.
Also have a smaller set of 8. The Woodcraft WoodRiver HSS "Mini" Turning Tool Set 5 piece #143718.
Any tips or advice appreciated.
Thx, Gary
