I find that I feel what the tool is doing as much as I see what the tool is doing.
There is a lot of difference in the feel of a dense wood compared to a soft wood.


Tom.. do you also go by the sound?

I didn't realize that I get a lot of "feedback" from the sound of the lathe rpm,

Everything just "felt" different.. I really hadn't expected noise to make a
difference..
