Default How do you make your own tools?

Hi all,

Hi Wayne
Yes you can make some of your own tools, I have made some, but if you
want HSS gouges you will have to buy them really.
Yes Darrell Feltmate's site aroundthewoods.com is a site you should
visit for all kinds of reasons and not just tool making, I recommend
that site highly.
But I have a link here to a place that I have gotten 3 sets of tools
from, 2 for myself and one for my son, these are HSS tools and pretty
good quality to, and at the cost of one name-brand gouge, just have a
look.

Do these include any bowl gouges? Harbor Fright has a HSS set, but only
for spindle work.


I've got 3 of these and they just LOWERED the price on 'em..

They work well for me and hold an edge well.. and they're inexpensive enough to
have 2 or 3 sharpened and ready when you start a bowl..YMWV
