Hi everyone,
I've always been keen to give turning a go but just never got around to it but last week my curiosity got the better of me and I went to Carbatec and bought a Woodfast M305 and a five piece Hamlet tool set as well as a Nova G3 chuck. As with most tool related things I've discovered that turning is a very slippery slope and I am well and truly hooked.
Over time I want to increase my tool inventory so that I can try different things and I am after some advice on a decent brand of gouges. I'm not after a list of which specific type of gouge I should get (bowl gouge, captive ring tool etc), but rather a good brand of tool.
I've looked on the Timberbits website and like the look of the P&N tools, but there's also Robert Sorby and any number of other brands out there.
Any advice on which brands to have a look at and which to stay clear of?
Cheers,
Steve
