hey guys, i'm new to woodturning but i've turned out a few duck and deer calls over the past few months. lately i'm noticing that my holes are coming out off centered. i thought the mandrel on my lathe may be bent so i ordered a few new ones from rockler.com and tried one out tonight and the problem is still occurring. I sharpened my rough out and tried it on a block this evening. the mandrel came off the tailstock and bent pretty badly. i tried the other mandrel (also new) and when i got finished with the barrel, i still had one side thicker than the other. any thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?
