Jumped headlong into the abyss tonight. Don Orr was gracious enough to host me at his shop this evening. We started with sharpening, he showed me his wolvie clone, and how to shape and hone the gouges we used.[
I didn't get a photo of the profiles, but one was basically an ellsworth grind, and the other was a much blunter profile, which I liked more. I also got to try a round scraper for cleanup and then sanding on the lathe.
Note to self, get DC fired up before getting the spinny thing going... koff koff...
Here's the end product...
no, wait. I'm only kidding....
a little..
Don had a 8 or 9" Ash blank all set.
After a couple of walk throughs for angle and such here I went...
Don is an excellent teacher, and I cannot thank him enough for opening his shop to me and giving me this lesson.
I had a blast, Thanks Don!
