The August meeting demonstration was Ernie Conover – How to Sharpen and Use Bowl Gouges.
Ernie Conover demystifies a variety of bowl gouge grinds, including the 40/40 grind, Pain/Child grind and Irish grind. Ernie explains how to create them on the grinding wheel and what they’re used for. Use this guide when sharpening your gouges to fit your style and how you will use them in your turning.
