So I am just getting into turning again some 15 years after the last time I turned. I have had a little success doing small things on the spindle, such as a honey dipper. I decided to try something a bit bigger and with a face plate. I am using a piece of a eucalyptus, from a massive tree that was blown over so it is really green. I am not overly worried about it cracking because I am just practicing and getting the techniques down. My problem came after I got the piece rounded out, and I was trying to start cutting down to a smaller size but I wasn't getting all the way over to my marked point to not hit the screws on the face plate. When I went back to try and bring that area down I kept getting really bad catches that ended with a broken tool rest and chisel, not at the same time. The tool was also my fault, I made a super stupid mistake and used a small fluted gouge. What was I doing wrong with the wood and other chisels?
