Terry Daniels and VB
David Galloway
>I took a half-day lesson from Terry Daniels yesterday at his North Georgia mountain shop. I told him I wanted him to show me how he does bowls...and he did just that. I have never seen anyone move more wood faster, particularly without one catch. What seems to be an aggressive style is actually very safe and controlled. The key is the angle of attack on the bowl with his gouge. This is made possible by the lower position of the tool rest that is available on the VB. Terry taught me a new way to turn bowls and I am thrilled to add his cut to my arsenal. If you are at all near the North Georgia area, a trip for a lesson at Terry's will be well worthwhile. He is also a great guy who shares much of his wisdom on woodturning, and other things should you desire it. Also I can't say enough about the VB Bowl lathe. It is not good for me to covet my neighbor's lathe, especially in Lent! Thanks Terry for a great lesson.
