Yeah, funny subject; you write a better one.
Anyhow, I have turned many bowls, but decided to try my first spindle today. I found if I really tightened the tail piece there was too much friction; and if I loosened it, it wobbled.
I "solved" the problem by waxing it. That way I could tighten it up, yet not get friction.
Is this a reasonable approach, or is there a better way? Thanks.
