When Spindle Turning, Move with the Legs and Hips
In Fine Woodworking #231, FWW author Peter Galbert demonstrates the right posture for spindle turning at the lathe. Galbert stars a cut with his arms, waist, and torso locked in position, and his weight on his right foot. This ensures even cuts because he can hold the gouge in the same position, and move by shifting his weight to his other foot. You can learn more about Galbert’s turning technique in his article, What the Experts Don’t Tell You About Turning Furniture Parts.
