This looks like bad gouge bevel control to me , but that wouldn ' t cause ALL of that . I think that you are using very dull tools , or even more likely , tools with uneven bevels . are you trying to hand sharpen these without a jig ? Are you using a high speed grinder , low speed grinder , or hand lapping only ? Ultimately , once you get your tools sharp , I think you ' re looking at needing to practice using the bevel to train your cuts . I would expect you ' re getting a lot of bouncing and small catches while you turn . Can you take a picture of the tool you ' re using , in particular the cutting end ? <| sep |> The last interesting lie I told was I love you <| sep |> No . Many states still have the death penalty and plenty of murders . Hell in Utah , we still shoot people to death for murder . The death penalty has never been shown to be a deterrent to murder .
