The Lathe Knife: How to make and use

Colin from CLWoodturningStore gives us the English language look at these interesting tools.

“This is my take on a traditional Russian chisel called a Lathe Knife. The video shows how I use it, why I like it and how I made it…

…I like it more than my skew …

Watch these guys use the tool way better than me!” – Colin.

And here this same turner is making a number of bowls in a row!
