Default My attempt at an Oland tool


YES
Thanks Lenny

Good sharp pictures, nice job to, what kind of steel shaft is it ??
looks very shiny.
Yes Darrell has a wonderful website with info and not just for the
"newbees", I have been there many times, down to earth info,no bs and
pushing some fancy high priced "new tool, gadget" like others, just
help yourself info.
I made a boring bar couple of years ago, after a article that I saw in
fine woodworking, I used a 1" square steel property stake, that was
taken out by a dozer as they were widening a nearby road.
I sawed out a slice and then clamped a 3/8" tool bit in there, with 2
bolts, and just out to one side,so as to try to control the amount of
wood the tool cuts.
I really have to watch it or it will hog so much that either I can not
control it, or it will tear the turning right out of the chuck.
The lesson is next one I make, the bit is going to be smaller, so I
will be able to better control it, making it bigger is not always
better.
