Which Osprey?

Which Osprey?

Tony - Memphis

I'm thinking real hard about buying an Osprey. I primarily turn spindles (furniture parts). Which size is best for that sort of turning?

Thanks,

Tony

Get the big one. The small osprey is best for pens and ornament finials. You can still turn fairly small things with the big osprey,its really not that big.

Never NERDS sharpening..... Don't think I am going to let you live that one down John....

Now check this one out for turning spindles. I found this through Mike Waldt, another turner besides John whose videos make a lot of sense to me...
