I got back on the lathe for a short time this afternoon. I am holowing out the inside of an 8" x 5" bowl. I have been doing this wrongly, but with a method that works, in effect using my bowl gouge like a scraper, and doing pull cuts from the centre hole to the rim. Now I am trying to do it by a more orthodox method, following videos by Brendan Stemp and Robbie the Woodturner. Their advice seems to be the same as some others that have been suggested to me, but their illustration is much clearer.
I am getting catches when I make the transition from the sides to the bottom. I am trying to do it the same way these two nice gentlemen work, but I am missing something. However, my gouge is tilted 45º to the direction I am going, and I can't see where I am going wrong.
Later in the week I may be able to talk LOML into taking a video of my technique, but until then, can anyone suggest what I may be doing worng?
