Help request for a new turner.

[Mark Stewart]

Well I have done a bit of turning over the last year or so on my pencile lathe and I need some help. Is there any one who lives close that can give me some guidance on chisle sharpening. I seem clueless. I love to turn but I do need a lesson or two. Thanks Mark:embarrassed:

Hi Mark,
Here is a link to a good clip on sharpening a gouge. There are a number of other video's listed at the right on sharpening.
Hope this helps some,
Jack

Not sure where you live. But if your ever in Mooresville, I would be happy to show you using the Wolverine System.

You know you're welcome to come down off the mountain for a visit mark. I use the Wolverine and Worksharp. I make no claims to be an expert, but I'll be glad to share what I know. At least the chisels are sharper after than before.

We could do some Carvewright stuff too. But if todays 88 degree temp is an indication of whats coming, I may be heading your way to cool off. :gar-Bi

This may load slow but there he shows and explains how to sharpen. He will also show how to use some of them while explaining as he is turning.

You tube is another great source as mentioned. If you have Firefox you can install an add-on that will save the movies for later viewing.
