chucked up a 4"x6" piece of green oak and started seeing how much I remembered about turning.

I did discover that the set of tools I bought from a woodnetter (good tools at a good price) had a different angle on every gouge.

Excellent opportunity to learn about how different angles act.

And to make sure I get my sharpening rig set up SOON!

Way it should be. Even the jig grinder folks tend toward continuous change so they can attack the wood at different angles with the appropriate sharpness angle.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

I am so happy and excited for you and looking forward to seeing what you make.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

All my tools have different angles too.
I did not plan it that way but that's how they turned out!
