We were practicing on our lathe this afternoon.
The goal of this session was to make the walls of the piece as thin as possible.
We got all the way to the end and when we were finishing the inside of the piece we had a catch and the wall shattered.
We started over and the same thing happened.
We called it quits.
We stopped and discussed what happened and we think we will use a round nose scrapper when we get to the end rather than a bowl gouge.
