I had a slow day at work to day every one seems to be on holiday.
So I had a go at sharpening a Skew using the Tormek jigs. This is all new to me. To be honest I was not overly happy with the result.
Any way moving on Wednesday night is my Woodturning Club night I had a very nice peice of wood that was destined to be a toadstool.
I struggled with a brand new 1/2" spindle gouge and was getting no were. One of the Guys looked at it and said its blunt. This was a brand new Gouge. He popped it on the Club pro edge it took 5 minutes to set up and sharpen the tool. I went ont on finnish the project but I have to say having seen the pro edge in action I was well impressed.
But unfortunatelly I have spent loads of money on Tormek stuff so I need to make it work.
Having said that I have revisited Tormeks sharpening guides and I am convinced I did not set up the guides properly especialy the SVS-50 when sharpening my skew so I need to revisit that. Am I going to buy a Pro edge NO I can not jusify the extra expence.
The Wife loves the Toadstool by the way.
