I have to say, I need a tool upgrade and/or a more decent sharpening system. I started with what was labeled as a spindle gouge. But what that really means is that I managed to turn it into a fingernail gouge in no time. I used my round nose scraper some. But what that really means is that I managed to turn it into something more like a broad nosed scraper. I may eve have used my 1/4" parting tool a bit, whose tip to bevel angle changes every time I sharpen it.
With that said. I get a decent grind and try hard to get the angle with my little angle measure but have had too many slips on the grinder with my larger skew and am a bit hesitant to give it a go and my small skew does okay, but it's free hand.
Here's some proof of the madness..
So lay it on me fellas...in laymen terms please...it can handle it
