Tools

Over the last few years i`ve made a selection of handles & tools here are a few along with a couple of photos of my lathe.


Articulated hollowing tool made from steel bar & Hamlets little brother cutting tip & shield.

Apple wood handles on 2 spindle gauges & Ash handle (middle) ready for a parting blade.

Oak & Ash mallet, Ebony & Beech hammer

Beech handles

This is my lathe, I added the storage not only for the added bonus of a place to keep things lathe related, but also as it`s made from a sheet & a half of 18mm MDF so adds a lot of stability. The dust extraction is via a 4" soil pipe to a large 2200 litre per minute extractor, the intake is a 4" flexible toilet connecter that enables me to get the extraction as close as possible to the work piece.
