roughing gouge disclaimer in Craft supplies new catalog

Likely there's no one answer when Dale Nish and many here find little use for a roughing gouge, while Soren Berger and a lot of us find several uses for the tool.

BTW, is it still a skew when the edge is not askew? ;)

My bi-bevelled skews and parting tools often have sharper edges than my gouges and bedans because two bevels are ground or honed. It's difficult for me not to round over the edge on the flat side opposite the bevel of a gouge.

Fortiter,

Doesn't matter what size the tang as long as you keep leverage on your side of the rest.

It's the small percentage of turners who muck things up by not thinking who make the loudest noise.

"...ships...?" I think a couple of kayaks would probably do the trick.

I think that Missouri has done the same thing. Some people don't want anybody to tell them what or what not to do regardless of the how stupid the thing they want to do is. I have no problem with helmet-less motorcycle riders as long as I don't end up paying to keep them in a vegetative state for years and years after they have a brush with a truck or concrete. Maybe the law should be that if they don't wear a helmet they must drive at least 60 mph. That way their chance of survival would be almost nill. If you use a roughing gouge on a bowl you must turn at 3000 rpm or higher.

I have a friend who owns a bunch of cars including a mid-70s Porsche 911. He loves driving fast -- I remember slowing down to 125 to pass a car on a county road. He sold his motorcycle after one too many scares.

Lawyer JOKE

What do you have when you sink all lawyers at the bottom of a lake!

ANSWER: " A good beginning"

2 points.

1. In the event the plaintiff's trial attorney loses the case (say the case is something along the lines of suing a manufacturer of latex paint 'cause their client's kid drank the stiff) pass a law where the losing side has to pay the defendent the whatever the plaintiff was suing for. Now if that has the same chance of passing as a snowball in hades then ...
2. It ain't the lawyers' complete fault. It's those morons on the bench that allow the crap to get through. Let's have a law that no judge can now be, or ever have been a lawyer or ever taken any law courses.

Ob turning comment: Just used some Minwax dark walnut stain on some soft maple. Allowed to dry for at least 3 days. Followed up with some shellac. Not all that bad looking.

one is for later.

Helmet and seat belt laws aren't for the safety of the suicidally "free", they're for the safety of other people who are on the same piece of concrete with them.

A helmet-less motorcyclist who hits a bird or even a large bug at

60-80 MPH becomes a missile on the same road with my wife and kids.

Ditto seat belts, a pickup with bench seats and no seat belt becomes a

2-4,000 pound unguided missile in the event of a panic lane change or bad blowout because the driver may inadvertently move into the "passenger" category rather abruptly.

This is first-hand experience talking. I was lucky and didn't kill myself or anyone else.

Arch, I love my roughing gouge. A couple quick passes with the Wolverine jig and it is ready. I've been turning a lot of pens for the Freedom Pen Project and the roughing gouge gets the pen blanks 'in the ball park' really quickly. And rolled over and with the handle pushed to one side it cuts almost as smoothly as the skew.

My skews are probably sharper too. I usually do them by hand. I have the Oneway skew attachment for my Wolverine system but have better results cleaning up the edges of my skew by hand on a stone. I take my gouge from the wheel to the lathe. It doesn't pay to 'over think' some of these things!

We are way O T here and it is my fault, I think. But...

My idea to clean up politics...

You are disqualified from being in politics if...

1) you are a lawyer

2) you are not neutered

Did you burnish the daylights out of the end grain to slow absorption? It's been years, but I remember the horribly uneven stain rates I got soured me on trying stains.

Oh yes, judges don't give verdicts, juries give verdicts. Judges just make sure that there is proper statute or precedence for a tort.

Ever puzzle over how judges are about third on the most respected professions list, while what they were before the anointing, lawyers, are usually the same from the bottom?
