As I learn more about sharpening and the different uses
of gouges I find that two bowlgouges and two oval chisels
and a roughing iron is all I need for bowls and spindlework.

But I can see that the inside bottom of small boxes would be a challenge,
if ever I tried one!

Nope. They make 90-degree gouges for that which work well. They're called
hook or ring tools, and they allow you to pare the end grain of the
box/goblet the same way you pare the end grain working off the edge of a
bowl - with a shearing cut.
