Yes Robert Bosco's site is very informative it shows how to do most of is turnings step by step . the turnings he does are 80mm in size , mine are miniature .875 in diameter or square or smaller. some of the walls of my turning are less than .062 thick the attrition rate is quite high.because of the grain invisible check in the wood small knots .How do you hold them, what pressure to put on them so they wont turn in the chuck or to much and they break , on two sides the grain is real strong on the other 4 sides the grain is weak so you have to be careful and plan your work ahead . And the tools well that is another thing they have to be super sharp or the wood burns , then there is the wood some woods contain silica and is hard on tools other are too soft and bend too much and have a lot of other problems you can't see your tool half the time when there inside the cut . It's real pure fun when the part is in your hand and you see all the parts moving with a nice finish.
