Default Tool Rest

Hi other Leo

Sometimes we have to keep it simple, Leo, as they say, KISS, you do
know why, no Mickey Mouse work here ;-)))

Have fun and take care

Hey, "Other Leo," I learned this as "the 90 degree rule," and it applies
whether your tool rest is set high or low. Never let the tool angle become
more than 90 degrees to the moving wood. This true on the inside or outside
of the bowl, and applies regardless of toolrest height. Your "circular
reasoning*" can be used to prove this as well.
