Here's a short video of my first bowls....comments and suggestions welcomed...and probably needed.
I really want a jaw chuck...it's just one of those things I can tell I'm going to want to procure for my arsenal.
So far I'm not a big fan of using the face plate. It just means that the bottom of any bowl will be the same diameter as the face plate...and with only a 10" swing that means the base will always be at least 1/3 or more the size if the biggest bowl I try to turn. So if I want a bowl of cup or dish with a 3" rim, it'll have to have straight sides.
Other than that, I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, just need a decent bowl gouge I think, 3/8" or so would do the trick.
