First get comfortable and stand close to the lathe so no reaching is required to make your cuts. Note too that the long handles are designed to be held comfortably to the body as the cut is made. This technique is called the three-point grip. The control hand is on the handle to position the bevel and to control the cutting edge. The other hand rests safely on the tool rest and grips the chisel securely. The chisel must always rest on the tool rest as any cut is made. Never allow your fingers or hand to be pinched between the tool rest and the work piece.
