Thanks all for your very helpful advice. I found a good offer on Amazon for a box of 5 Famag.

Looking for a set of metric saw tooth bits (Forstner style) for end grain use on a lathe. Very grateful for any recommendations - Planet?

Richard, Thanks - good tip. Paul

Ollie, Thanks for these ideas - neither of which had occurred to me. I get through quite a lot of CA and wasn't aware it came in colours! Regards, Paul

Nick, Thanks very much for these tips. I'll winkle out the old stuff as you suggest. While we're at it, is there any particular brand of epoxy resin you'd recommend? Thanks again, Paul

Nick, your reply couldn't have been more helpful; a one paragraph 'zero to hero' course in the use of resin. What you describe as 'goopy uncured resin' is exactly what I have. I'll clean it out somehow and will then start again with epoxy resin from a reputable manufacturer. A good tip, too...

Very grateful for advice on the best resin to use for filling in cracks etc in the body of wood blanks and bowls that I'm turning (or about to). Also interested in using resin dyes to give different effects. Have had mixed results so far using cheap makes - some have bad shrinkage after...

Exactly that - the Crown cryo Ellsworth Signature 5/8"

Many thanks Robbo3, Paul and Duncan for your advice and tips. Most grateful for your help. Paul C

Thanks for the tip - just done.

I came back to woodturning a couple of years ago and have recently been given a 5/8" Ellsworth Signature gouge. I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to sharpen the gouge on a RS ProEdge (with the 3 hole jug). The gouge is brand new and I don't want to mess up the grind.
