Thanks for all the replies. Didn't mean to take so long, but work and life
have been interfering with my woodworking! Sure beats being unemployed

Making shavings is fun, but the *next* task is learning to sharpen the
starter-set HF chisels. Time to unpack the grinder.

I realize this is an answer to a non question, but for your own sake
make or buy a sharpening jig. I just helped a mill right (sp?) with one
and he can sharpen anything else but considers lathe tools a whole new
ball game. On the other hand, you may want to spend time learning to
sharpen, not turning wood :-) Anyway, to blow my own horn and I have
nothing to sell, try this http://aroundthewoods.com/sharpening01.html
