To get a catch that is. Our wood turning club will seat about 30 members at any given meeting. Mostly bowl turners and only 3 or 4 of us will even pick up a skew. The others will tell you it's just too easy to get a catch, or "every time I try I get a catch", etc. etc. Well, I'm here to say I'm not afraid to use a skew because I can get a catch just fine with a gouge. While turning another inlay ornament I had pretty much shaped the globe, all skew work, and was going to start on the finials. Grabbed a 1/4" detail gouge to make a V cut. One instant of carelessness and the ornament was basically destroyed. And that is why I'm not afraid to use a skew!!

Worked on this for several weeks, had finished except for stub on bottom, so turn it around and make it done. Until I got that little catch and boom away it goes.

As I posted on Monday morning I did turning demo at the club Saturday. Got a big catch that broke the bowl in two . Then at home got the idea to glue back together. So decided to try to cut out break and glue in some African mahogany I have. Still not a perfect joint but will try epoxy with micro powder to fill. will try to cut the excess before mounting on lathe this afternoon. So here goes nothing.
