Hi All :) a newbie here, just picked up a lathe last week (JET) 36" and a not so cheap set of chisels. Today I treated mysself to 3 new bowl gouges 1/4, 3/8 and a 1/2'' from lee valley. Question: I'm not afraid of anything except destroying a beautiful set of tools. Would someone please explain in laymans terms which is the correct way of hollowing out a bowl from start to finish. I will admit that i'm a newbie to wood turning but seasoned in the shop. So far I have been struck in the chest twice with a chunk of wood in the past few nights and i think i now have a third nipple.Any advice would be appreciated tks Dan
