Our Patriot Turners- Member @Steve Krumanaker showed us a neat setup he concocted for easily transporting a lathe for demonstrations! In his post, Steve explains his setup and some of the design features- I was watching @Handfoolery's guitar build on YouTube. He has posted some of his journey on the Patriot woodworking forum. What caught my eye was the equipment he was using to apply finish to the guitar. Finishing is not my strong suit and the spray set up he used looked like it would work well for turned items. https://preval.com/diy-pro-products/preval-sprayer/ The video showing him finishing his guitar- New member @Tay-da-Tay asked us for information oh harvesting a tree with burls.

I have watched some professionals on YouTube and noticed that they are cutting sharp crevices with the skew. Instead of using the heal as I've always done, it appears that they are using the toe. That appears to be a great opportunity for a serious catch. What do I need to know to proceed with using the toe to round off beads and make the crevices? How serious an accident can I have from trying this? Should I attempt this without a spotter? I am really anxious to your comments and input. Thank you in advance for responding to these questions.
