Which Tool?
Greetings!
While I have a reasonable grasp of which tools (roughing gouge, spindle gougle, skew, etc) are used for what - I have seen a few tools that I can't quite figure out. I'm guessing someone, somewhere, has a web page that addresses differnt tool profiles and their intended uses. Or, perhaps better, different finished turnings, and the tools that were used. Either way would be helpful. Any ideas? aTdHvAaNnKcSe! Hal |

No but I am working on something like it. It is not the first time the question has been raised. -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS Canada www.aroundthewoods.com wrote in message oups.com... Greetings!

Good morning,
My son rounded up a two CD set from Sorby, which of course advertised their tools. It included short videos of how to use each. Of course they had their best craftsman doing it, and it looked SO easy. But it's a good introduction, by the people who make 'em. It was still available 6 months ago, don't know if it is now, but not too hard to check. Old Guy wrote in message oups.com... Greetings!

It's called a spear point http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000FVE...438433-8048134 You can use it as a scraper to do what a bruzze was designed to do, as an extremely catchy skew, or grind it straight across and with a long bevel to make a splendid bead cutter and surface planer. I'd guess it's there for the same reason they include other scraping tools. Easier to scrape than cut for new folks. |

I made a curved scraper for bowls, and an angled one for inside boxes. -- Gerald Ross Cochran, GA Alzheimer's advantage: New friends every day. |

Hi Hal
Hal where better to look than by the makers of those tools, they will like you to need more "have to have" tools for all those cuts you could not make without them, ;-))) http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/instructions.htm Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum30.html wrote: Greetings!
