one problem with youtube, there is a lot of misinformation out there.
i saw one video of a man turning a bowl using nothing but a roughing
gouge!

If it resulted in a bowl, it simply serves as proof that the people who
say you can't turn a bowl with a roughing gouge are the ones spreading
misinformation.

They also usually have lots of tools they'd like you to buy, and are
making a lot more money selling tools than they are turning. There are a
goodly number of people guilty of misinforming new turners with an eye
towards selling new turners stuff they don't actually need, and mostly
won't use. Beware of them.
