Title: Fundamental Tool Control and Cutting Edge Presentation for Spindle Turning (formerly Spindle Roughing Gouge)
 Target Audience: Early turners, and intermediate turners struggling to make desired cuttings at desired locations with minimal “catches.”

Topic: The emphasis will be on learning and practicing tool control fundamentals: body positioning; posture; arm and body mechanics; and handle grips; using a number of short exercises. Concepts that will be explained include riding/gliding/floating the bevel, raising the handle to lower the cutting edge, supported and unsupported cuts, ghost images, and more.
Because it is the best tool for this class, these fundamentals and concepts will be presented and practiced using a spindle roughing gouge to make a stress-free start to a cut, “pick up a shaving,” make a square cross section spindle blank round; and if time allows make broad coves, beads, and tapers.
