Having had a bash at a small lidded box at the weekend (out of my mistakenly bought 50mm sq spindles) with some limited success I have a question for you more experienced bunch.
I see on Youtube some (respected?) turners using spindle gouges to hollow out boxes.
My confusion is that I thought using spindle gouges for hollowing was a no no ? Surely it should be a bowl gouge or a maybe a scraper ?
Or have I just managed to confuse myself ?
Opinions / advice gratefully received.
