Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome. Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better.
Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

I'm a new Unimat owner, and I've only turned a few pieces with Delrin rod. I'm pretty ambitious about getting into more serious turning, but I have zero knowledge about the art/craft of creating and maintaining sharp tooling. Like what kind of grinder, standard tool shapes and what they are for, keeping things sharp, correct angles between the tooling and the workpiece, etc, etc.
So much to learn/understand, and I'd rather not go completely trial and error.
Any good resources you can share about how to go about it the right way?
(I've also never sharpened a drill bit, chisel, plane blade, saw blade, etc - not in any professional way - but I'd like to correct that too!)
Bill in OKC too
