    Made a bowl shape in scrap wood fitted to a face plate then hot glued bowl into it. Drilled it then took a slice either side with parting off tool.(where the thumb/finger go) to give me a flat to rest on bandsaw table. Hot gluing much stronger than people think also supported it with live centre...

    Sharpening

    Most people give up turning because of sharpening. You don't sharpen lathe tools weekly more like hourly. I have Sorby Pro Edge which is expensive but best thing I ever bought It takes seconds to touch up once you get profile right.

    Bowling ball turning idea

    A little tip you can use a hacksaw to cut off sides in a vice (its quite easy) To machine bowl in lathe use a rough bowl shape on either chuck or faceplate and use hot glue gun to fix in. Glue will split with screwdriver and will peal off.
