Thread: First Practice Wood Turning Project with a Few Observations and Questions

My wife and I agree that this guy's tutorial on grain direction, the 4 cuts (planing, peeling, slicing and scraping) as well as how to use the main tools effectively without disastrous gouges and catches, is by far the most useful one we've watched. I wish I had watched it before starting:
