My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood

SHOP NOTES:
In preparation for a couple lathe turning vids, I thought I'd let you in on what I believe is a good step-up from the Buck Bros. chisels that most of us purchased from Shopsmith when we got our Shopsmith tools. Though I remain a devoted fan of Robert Sorby and Record tools I just can't ignore the value that two sets of HSS (High-Speed Steel) tools from PSI bring to the party.

SHOP NOTES: We FINALLY get to play with the two HSS lathe toolsets that we purchased back in December. In this vid, I dust off my old spindle turning skills and even show you how rusty I am! If you want to learn to turn be sure to check out some of the channels that focus on turning, including those posted in the comment section below. (My subscribers post the best comments!)
