So, I'm comfortable honing straight edges (flat chisels, razors, most knives) and curved faces (Smiling razors, some knives, axes), but curved tools like drill bits and in this particular case wood-turning chisels are going to be a new one for me. Got an old shopsmith lathe setup that I bought a year ago and haven't really done much beyond testing and lubing it; and a ton of 2x2" maple stock to play with; so I'm thinking I'm going to learn to turn. Got some resources that go over tools/setup/safety, but the one thing I'm thinking I'll need to learn before doing much is methods of sharpening those curved high speed chisels/shaping tools for use when turning.
Any woodturners who have recommendations on good resources for learning/adapting honing techniques for chisels like these (Maybe gouges are what they're correctly called?) My default would be slow speed grinder with a wheel that I have rounded the corners off of instead of leaving it squared off, but is that actually best?
