You could turn down your kickside but its a dangerous deal and your teacher would probably do it for you. Also if he doesn’t get things right then your kickside will be trash. ---

Unless you have a lathe to do that with, please don’t ask. A tut won’t really help anybody and be a waste of time because the people that already have a lathe know how to do it. ---

i don’t think that the one in the vid was done on a lathe but if it was then you are right and it was a waste of time. ---
