Hello,

I am planning on buying my first tools soon (3/8 spindle gouge, 3/4
skew chisel, 3/4 square end scraper and a parting tool)).

What do you think of the P&N tools in the Lee Valley catalogue?

They look pretty good to me.


and how
would I fasten item U on pg 49 of the 2005/2006 fine woodworking tools
(item number 37B01.51)? ie the steel that goes in to the handle does
NOT narrow as in item N of same page.

Drill a series of holes slightly smaller than the thickness of the shank
in a row in the end of the handle. Rock the drill to remove the webbing
between the holes. This should allow for a friction fit. If the hole
ends up being too wide a little epoxy should take care of the matter.
