You went back and read the thread?

Hope so.

I chose to interpret your "challenge" based on the substance it contained,
not the spirit in which it was presented, because this is about woodturning,
not about people, and your pictures substantiated something I have said for
years here - you don't need to bully the wood to hold it for turning.
Don't even, in my opinion, have to bully it to remove wood while it's
turning. Some of the assembled think that's dogma, not just a way to save
the turner and turning from beating each other up.

not me George. dont misdirect what ive said. sharing your techniques is not
dogma. i never said that. its when you come off like your way is the only
way, the only correct way, the only true way, and everyone who does any
different is wrong. thats dogma. when you suggest that i shouldnt even be
talking about jaw sizes thats dogma.

my mind is not closed. i agree with you on a lot of your technique stuff. i
know the value of learning to make a nice peel cut - but the peel cut is only
one of the cuts in my bag of tricks. when im roughing out a large bowl there
is no way every single cut is gonna be a gentle peeling cut. that would take
all day. sometimes i like taking big hogging cuts. i LIKE it. im enjoying it.
im having fun. i like to push my limits on how much wood i can remove in one
pass and letting the shavings fly! is that wrong? when i get close to the
final shape thats when its time to pull out the finesse cuts. then the game
changes to "how clean a surface can i leave?"
