i never got that book, but i did get some woodturning dvds and a sharpening dvd. i did make a small wooden jig of sorts, it seems to work ok, but will no doubt invest in some expensive toy from sorby soon enough :)

acctually, having no spindle gouges to speak of, i tried to grind a roughing gouge into a fingernail shape (daft i know) so then it to it to the grinder again and ground it flat, then i re-ground the original roughing gouge shape..but it is a tad burnt..still seems to work though.

by the way on sharpenning one of my gouges, i burnt it, is it knakered ? cheers
