Well I finally decided to blow the dust off my lathe that I've had for about 3 years now and start turning.
What I was wondering is if there are any good online videos to show you how the various gouges and skews are used to cut coves and beads. I've found a few but they show you one cut and that's it. I would love to take some classes but the money just isn't in the budget for it. I've been practicing some but when I do have a catch I'm not sure what I did to prevent it from happening again.
Here are a couple of pictures O what I'm playing around with. The first one I tried to copy a leg that needs to be repaired from a cedar chest we have.
Here I just chucked up a scrap piece of oak to practice on.
So if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it.
