Thanks! The West Virginia contest isn't until January 13th. The Nashville contest is February 14th I believe.

Just bought a carbide finishing tool to up my game.

Nice, you think it’s a game changer? I imagine it holds its edge longer.

Yes, the carbide roughing tool I have cut my time on turning a striker in half. I don't have any high end regular lathe tools, I would have to buy a sharpening jig if I did. Those jigs run around $100, each tool is at least $50 for a decent one. I can do everything that all those standard tools can do with the 3 carbide tools that this company makes. I found replacement tips on eBay, 3 for $20. I was working with a cheap ass harbor freight set of tools.

Very nice man. When does the WVa competition take place? Will they have an auction similar of the last competition?
