Hi Paul
First let me say thank you for your kind words, I'm no pro, I've seen pros turn, and trust me, I'm no pro
My "Audience" is anyone who wants to take a look and might learn something, for example the wood worm screw that mounts in the chuck, when I got my lathe and the chuck that came with (I got it used) I had no idea what that thing was for, I thought it was for removing something maybe, screw it in and then us a prybar to extract it, dunno what but...???
I have to say, I was not really making these to teach, I guess, they might come across that way, I used to teach, here in Japan, and I tend to fall into that teacher mode when explaining something I'm doing, no honestly, I was putting these up there, so I can hopefully get some feed back on how I'm doing, you see, I live in Tokyo Japan, and I might get to see other turners turn about 4 times a year, so I'm fairly isolated in that way.
The recommendations of turning videos that cptenaud made are good, but if I may add one more, the fist DVD that I got was from Bill Grumbine, called >>Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

<< I still find myself going back to it for pointer, it is really good.
Maybe I'll try to take some vids of my 90 degree presentation, I learned this from Eli Avisera, it does work well, but you do have to have the right grind.
You might take a look at this video I did.........

It is an early attempt to show this cut that I learned from Eli, with his double bevel grind on the gouge.
I know that this is not a perfect video, but it might give you some idea as to what I'm trying to do.
Cheers!
