Almost makes not want to turn it on :D It looks like one of the tools I have is a rounded scraper and I'm going to double check the gouge. Cheers for all the help so far!

If you are not sure what tools you have post a picture soon sort it out. The Skew chisel is no where as bad as people say.

Ok, not as steep as I thought! Sorry about the bad picture, had to use the wifes phone.

That is a spindle gauge.

Great, because everything I want to do to start with is spindle work, bowls look a little scary to start with. I can't seem to find any local turners clubs, or know anyone with a lathe!

Thanks for the help! I paid 25 for the tools, does that sound reasonable? They are Record power.

If that is for the 4 tools and they are all record then yes that is a good price. I have 4 record tools and use them all the time along side all the others.

How close are you to these

Have a look at Merseyside Woodturners and see if it is worth the journey.

They are pretty close but unfortunatly I don't drive. The liverpool one looks easy enough to get to by train though!

I have received the drive center and have a pen blank set up ready to go, just a tad nervous. I'm just going to make a stick and see how it looks.
