Gearing Up for Furniture Making

Miniature furniture, that this.  New acquisitions, wood-turning tools with a Proxxon grinding machine and Japan whet stones to sharpen them.

First attempts at spindle turning and achieving repeatability.  Thank goodness for U-tube.  But why are all the demos on 'how to do' done by dudes in the US of A?  The calipers and scribes are from Granddad Wilson's toolmakers kit, one with his initials stamped on it.  Granddad taught me to turn wooden bowls way back when, but I don't remember doing spindles with him.  I will master "the bead'. I will............ I will!!!!! Damn it, I have too.
