how to prevent catches.

I thought it would be nice to re-post this article that Lyle Jamieson wrote as part of our quest to serve the new turners.

Thanks John. Couldn't hurt for an "old" turner to review it. Might accidently learn something.

Y'know, maybe a half-page or more of a technique related to the production of a piece would be a worthwhile addition to the occasional article in the Journal. That way the whole article wouldn't have to be labeled for beginners. No need to create a separate column or label articles (or their target) that way.

Accidental learning comes from accidents. I'd rather learn vicariously. Not sure the article in question is going to prevent problems if those first two confusing illustrations are followed.

John,
Thanks for posting this article. I think you have many good ideas about what should be included in the Journal. Keep at it!

BTW, I am moving this thread to How To's for better visibility.

I read the article and went back and looked at my bowl gouges and discovered that my own grind had actually morphed from Ellsworth's into Jamieson's. Mostly because I like long wings. It also occured to me that this might be the root cause of a problem - I like to use the gouge in sheer scrape position on the outside of a bowl and very gradually I've found myself using the gouge almost upside down. I'm going to have to shift the angle I grind the wings at to correct for that. The article helped me think that through.

And the captions for "Safe" and "Risky" are the same. What's a person to do?
