There's only one way to learn though and thats mount some old timber between centres and practice, practice, practice. mine was on softwood as hardwood was much too valuable for a schoolkid and as you need very sharp tools to get a good finish on softwood I think it was a great grounding in both disciplines. All forgotten now
That's an excellent video, wish they'd been around when I started. Just remembered, it was before videos were invented

[QUOTE="Lons, post: 141028, member: 361"] There's only one way to learn though and thats mount some old timber between centres and practice, practice, practice. mine was on softwood as hardwood was much too valuable for a schoolkid and as you need very sharp tools to get a good finish on softwood I think it was a great grounding in both disciplines.
