When you lead with your knuckles in sawing, planing and carving, it's
unavoidable. Plus, he persists in using that inappropriate T-handle
bludgeon as a mallet to the detriment of his nails. Seems he could work up
a good carver's mallet on the lathe.

Bottom line on speed is that what seems too fast to you - is. Of course,
what I said first still applies - much more energy available at faster
speeds. You decide if that's friend or foe.

That's it. Let _your_ experience and need determine what you do.

Ever watch Ol' Roy Underhill work on his lathe? Don't take much speed
to
cut wood right.
