Old school turning perfection! I've been turning for 50 years between centers. No fancy chucks, dont own a single bought cutting tool. Keep it simple and keep up the good work.
When turning always keep your tool rest close to the area you are working, when you over extend your tool past your tool rest you increase the possibility of breaking your tool which can send it flying into you or something else. Just common sense when showing instructional videos
That's not true, to say NEVER! There are times when gloves are required. Dont know how long you've been turning but experience will teach you otherwise.
It is a widely accepted safety practice to never wear gloves around rotating equipment. A wood lathe is no exception. Look at the safety tips page of the American Association of Woodturners. They state categorically, "Do not wear gloves.". If you think gloves are required for a certain operation, you need to rethink that operation. I have years of experience turning wood, but that is irrelevant. I've seen some very experienced people do some very unsafe things, sometimes with disastrous results. @@buddyshane0121
