Advise from the experts please.
I had a lathe for Christmas and didn't use it until I had been on a two day beginners course. This was very good and helped me understand all the bits of the lathe and what tools are what.
This gave me the confidence to start practicing on my own. My problem is that we didn't tend to spend a great deal of time on tool sharpening.
I have tried (not very successfully) to get a good edge on my tools and obviously this is affecting the pieces I'm practicing with.
Who can point me in the right direction for a jig that can help me set up the right angle for the tools on the grinder and whats the best buy.
