Yes new to all theis. I recently bought a chisel set from my local hardware, to get me started on theis adventure. I will be purchasing a better set from CarbaTec (or if someone knows where else I can shop in Aust for quality tools ??), but for now, I want to learn on these, and not be worried about damaging them too much.
Of all the reading and looking I have done, I still don't know exactly, what the difference of the Spindle and Bowl Gouges are.
I see on Youtube RobbieTheWoodTurner uses his Bowl Gouges and they have a swept back grind, and it cuts so very easy.
in the images below, I have these 2 tools in the set I bought, but which is which ?/
My guess, is the larger of the 2, is a Bowl Gouge and the smaller is a Spindle Gouge ?? I only come to this solution, because of what the names denote and thinking, bigger = Bowls because of what the Gouge does ??
Can someone please enlighten me please??

While I'm here, I'm not sure what a sharp gouge is, because I have never sharpened one. Are they sharp out of the box ?? or do you sharpen them one you buy them. I ask, because I had a hell of a time cutting down relatively soft wood yesterday, making a few glue block, Jam chucks and so on. It might be my technique, but I got more wood of with the Roughing Gouge then either of the 2 above.
And thirdly, what is the swept back cut that I speak of ?? Do you convert one of the gouges to a swept back design ??
Thanks in advance, and please speak in laymans terms.
Cheers
