    After not having used my lathe in ten years I want to turn (and then carve) several table legs, so I am re-learning some lapsed skills. I need help identifying two of my gouges.  There are two pictures of each gouge.  I believe the two pictures on the left are of a 3/8" bowl gouge and the two pictures to the right are of a 1/2" spindle gouge.  Can someone confirm or correct this?

    The one with a deeper flute is a bowl gouge. The other is a spindle gouge
