On your cuts on flat surfaces ,try holding the shaft of your tool at an angle around 45 degrees and see if you like the results.

Hi Andrew. It’s refreshing to see someone at similar place and showing when it doesn’t go to plan. I’ve recently purchased the large and small Worby tools and so far not got very great results consistently. Nick Agar has been my main source of guidance and while he is brilliant at using these tools I found doing exactly what he demonstrated was not sufficient to produce the same result. So have been somewhat disappointed. One thing I did notice is you present the tool with the bevel of the spiralling cutters facing away from the work which Nick shows towards the work. I’m guessing both can be used to get some interesting patterns and texture although the flat side seems to be more aggressive and more tearing. It’s very clear that one needs to practice one scrap a lot and your video has lifted my enthusiasm by showing that I’m not alone in getting mixed results. I’ve started being a bit more scientific now logging each test cut and how I present the tool, I.e. bevel in or out, angle of presentation cutter size etc. hopefully this will allow me to find some that I can replicate on actual workpieces. Thank you for taking time to share your experiences.

Very interesting video, esp after looking into the new spiralling and texturing tools released by Crown in Sheffield. Just a question about when you first try the spiralling bit. Did the tearout happen because you were moving the tool not towards the bevel side, but the flat side? As in do you think it would have torn if you had done the exact same move but with the bevel of the bit facing the direction of your movement?

For locating the magnet hole in the lid, I suggest that after drilling the 10mm hole in the body, that you install a dowel center and then place the body against the inside corner of a box. Then position the lid over the body with the appropriate grain alignment and then push down to locate the center of the hole for the lid magnet.

Hi Kev. I think the levers were machined by the previous owner. If you have a friend with a metal lathe you could ask them for a favour. I've since moved away from turning wood. I now turn metal and make model engines and stuff. I hope you have many happy hours with you new lathe. Cheers Andrew
