nails, or other obstructions. These types of blem

Start at a low speed and allow the lathe to ramp up
to the operating speed before engaging any chisels,
tools or other carving accessories.
8. Never apply coolants or water to a spinning work
-
piece. Never stop a rotating workpiece with your
hand.
10. If gluing up a workpiece, always use a high qual-
ity glue that meets the needs of the particular work-

before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate. When
turning between centers, make sure the headstock
and tailstock are tight and snug against the work
