For The Newbies-

Sam Angelo compares/contrasts negative rake scrapers to the traditional scraper design-

 

When looking to purchase turning tools, there is a lot to consider. Tomislav Tomasic discusses the various grades of steel and why that is important.

How are you going to chuck that odd shaped piece? Cole Jaws, a unique jig or maybe buy a special spiked faceplate? Tim Yoder demonstrates his method as he turns a paper weight-
