<p>Hey Serge, heres a picture of my '62 lathe. You said"Nothing like seeing it."!! I say "Nothing like playing with it!" Regards,BB</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://americanwoodworker.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2815" width="1" height="1">bradley59http://americanwoodworker.com/members/bradley59/default.aspxGreen Wood Turner/blogs/bradley59/archive/2009/04/16/green-wood-turner.aspx2009-04-17T02:03:00Z2009-04-17T02:03:00Z<p>I recently inherited my grandfather's lathe. I really didn't know much about turning,and still don't! But I decided that experience would be the best way to learn. (As with most things.) After I got this "new"toy set up,I thought "Lets try it !" So I installed a one and one half inch square piece of wood and proceeded to test what I could remember from high school(30 +years ago.) It didn't take long to figure out the tools were dull. I asked for help on this site and got what I needed on sharpning these tools. Thanks for the input, guys!!! I tried a few more turning projects, and if I can get the pics to come up ,I'll show the results!!

I have recently inhereted my Grandfather's old wood turning lathe(A 1962 Craftsman!!) and the turning tools with it. I set up the lathe and it seems to work great! Problem is, all the tools are very dull. The straight edges are easy to sharpen.Can anyone give me some info on how to sharpen the round ended tools without ruining them? Thanks in advance!
