hollow turning through a small hole to make a small urn. I managed to
get a fairly uniform thickness of 2-3mm and was refining the outside

and almost immediately got a nasty catch. So as I had enough wood
left, I tried to turn it out whereupon I caught an even nastier one
there are some good videos of a japanese turner doing thin walled
bowls and the light bulb technique
the technique used is scraping rather than a full frontal gouge
