The last 5 or so bowls I have made have broken right at the end of turning!
I seem to always get a catch, especially right in the area of just before where the sides meet the base on the inside (it is not due to catching the sides and base, just the sides OR base.
Anyone have any good videos showing tips/methods of bowl turning for beginners?
At first I thought it was because of my gouge ( so I purchased the vari-grind attachment, and that helped tremendously. Then I noticed it wasn't the bowl gouge, but more catches happened with the bowl scraper (which would explain why they are all breaking right at the end). It is a round-nosed scraper.
Happens with all types of woods, those with alternating grain types and patterns, those with tight grains, loose grains, whatever.....
I'm at a loss, just can't "get" this! Ugh!!
