Morning,
I just thought I would see what the general consensus was on catches when hollowing out a bowl with a gouge. I was turning a large beech bowl yesterday and every time i started a cut on the wall of it, i would get a catch. However, when on the bottom of the inside there was no issue. Could it be that my sharpening (freehand) is making an irregular angle thus causing issues or is it just ineptitude?
It resulted in the bowl launching itself across my workshop and me having to move quite quickly!
Thanks.
