Videos produced by reputable professional woodturners are a great way to learn. be very wary of online materials though. There is a lot of poor practice being shown and the problem comes in deciding what is good and what is not so good. Classic chicken and egg. The woodturner needs a certain amount of experience to know what is good safe practice and what isn't. in order to gain that experience .......

I once watched a video by Jimmy Clewes with him wearing a ring whilst wood turning. Bad practice from an experienced turner.
yogavenger:
Thank you, everyone.
Even I remembered to take my ring off before I turned my first bowl. :)
My grandad never wore one.
Wood spinner:
Posted today , I put a fresh 45 degree edge on it for you as well
yogavenger:
Look what arrived! :) (And what's the best way to maintain that edge because it's awesome!). And you can tell it's proper – it has a real weight to the steel. I'm actually worried about my other tools now. I think they must be complete rubbish!
And I will PM you: I owe you cash, sir. I cannot accept this, it's too much. (but appreciated!).

yogavenger:
LOL, I daren't use it! I don't want to blunt the edge! :)
