Some good points on the skew. No suggestions on what to do videos on, just keep posting.

Thank you!

You got the same kind of catch I often get. I think it happens when the edge touches the wood before the bevel does.

That would definitely cause it and you may be right. I just rewatched and it’s possible but can’t tell if I was rubbing the bevel yet. But great point! Thank you

@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle The other thing that causes my catches in that situation is when I relax after making the cut while pulling the tool back. Edge touches the wood while I'm breathing a sigh of relief that the cut went well.

@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING I think that’s what happened to me. I was starting to feel confident and was immediately humbled.

I've seen Raffan do that hollowing cut and I think it's similar to what you're doing, but instead of going from the center to the left, he drops the handle and goes from the center towards the top.... simple, right? That said, I've not had luck with it, so I might have interpreted his movement correctly.

No you are exactly correct. In this video I did the center to the top like he does but it didn’t go very well. I switched to what works for me which is center to outside. But I have hit the sweet spot before and used the back hollowing method he demonstrates. I’m not sure if my gouge needs a different angle grind or if I’m just using a bad technique. Maybe someday I’ll master it haha
