Occasionally I’ll turn a spindle without my steady if I feel I’ll not lose time, hand steadying is then used. With this style the square can make normal techniques awkward I’m more comfortable keeping my fingers away from the squares, so I steady in the center and turn one handed. I’ve stopped the lathe to show this still gives a clean finish even on wide open grain pine. Advanced techniques should NOT be attempted unless confident in your abilities you are responsible for your own safety #advan
