  • thank you

  • The work piece height should be about even with you elbow. For a right-handed person, hold the tool handle near the end and hold your right elbow close to your body. Use your left hand to hold the tool against the tool rest. Rotate your body on your hips to move the tool. It's like a good forehand swing. Your left foot should be a little forward of the right and your feet should spread a little further apart than you shoulder. I think the rest is just having sharp tools and a light touch.

  • The wood lathe freaks me out. It is constantly catching for some reason and makes the tool jump and ruins my wood :(

  • Thank you very much.

  • First :D

    Ma first first

    I love wood turning, very satisfying
