strange turning tools

For this project I needed a flat surface. Usually I mount them on the lathe and face them off but I decided it would be faster to pull out the old hand plane and flatten it.

Oh no! It must be something in the air. I used a plane AND a chisel yesterday...

OK, it's all right as long as it's for a turning project.

I think I'm in the clear, then. I was building something for the turning "wing" of the shop. I'll try to take a picture.

using a block plane on the lathe
john Lucas
early in my turning career when I wanted a long straight turning I would use my block plane pretty much like I use a skew today. My Dad used to use his belt sander the same way.
