Arbortech Ball Gouge

Hello and welcome to Badger Workshop. BriMarc Tools & Machinery asked if I would like to try the Arbortech Ball Gouge and I said yes. I had a play with it making a spoon and carving a dish.
It is available here

Got one of Arbortechs AllSaws. Hell of a piece of kit. They've got quite a range of accessories for grinders for carving and chiseling. Would love to have a go with some of them but can't justify spending the money on them just for a look-see just yet. This ball gouge looks fun.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I had to look up what that was. Looks a great bit of kit. The ball gouge is a fun tool to use. No use how it would fit into my daily work but fun.

[@leroymontano9080]

I just got my arbortech sphere gouge ,cant wait

[@SMee67]

That will definitely come in super handy in future projects, no doubt👌 Nice work, mate👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Bill

[@almagill]

Have been lusting after one of these since Makers Central :)

[@Badgerworkshop]

It is fun. Add it to your Christmas list.

[@grumpyoldchuff]

That would've been handy for the "bowl without a lathe challenge" nice job Matt

[@bigpete4227]

Chris Dunn first thing I thought too.

[@tarickman]

That was my first thought.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It would have been great. Maybe it will be on again next year

[@NitroMaxOriginal]

Great tool but at £86 it's hard to justify, the Mrs would have harsh words to say.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Think of all the things you could make for her.

[@mariah4451]

I really like both of those; the spoon is so cute and the growth rings in the bowl are gorgeous. Nice one Matt :-)

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. I was pleased with how the rings looked.

[@tomtom786]

Great tool Matt, great idea

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

I bought one of these a while back and it is a great tool but boy does it make a mess. Made the mistake of using it on my bench and quickly covered all my tools with debris, took ages to clean up. Good to use outside. I took a bit longer to get used to the cutting and sometimes it dug in and ruined my work but practice makes perfect. Andy UK

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes much better outside but fun to use

[@jimblack2331]

Looks like a nice little to Matt. I love the bowl btw. 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank Jim. Sorry I bunt it.

[@jimblack2331]

@@Badgerworkshop Ha ha. I still need to do some tests burning wood finishes...

[@richardadams9929]

it's going to make making spoons a lot faster. and the bowl will be a lot smoother

[@richardadams9929]

I make and sell around 500 utensils a yr. The. bowl takes for ever. until now I love this and yrs the price a wee bit high but well worth the price

[@Badgerworkshop]

It sounds like a great tool for you

[@chaysosaja56-24]

I like your table saw, how much you paid for it?

[@bobuk5722]

Thanks Matt, I downloaded the Brimarc catalogue. BobUK

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Robert

[@WeekendShedHead]

Another great video 👍👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@briansworkshop01]

Nice job Matt 👍👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Brian

[@CasualDIY]

Very cool projects. I'm still before my first spoon project. This could be the tool to help me do it tho :) thanks for sharing

[@Badgerworkshop]

Its a fun tool to use

[@mauriciodelgado1]

Cómo se llama ésta herramienta y dónde podría adquirirla saludos

[@alanmullock381]

A closet arsonist? Didn't realise they were so controllable! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

I think in out of the closet now. Its very easy to use

[@AndyCPugh]

That certainly speeds up the process of making a bowl.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It really does

[@calgaryjsc]

Thanks for your video! Which bosch grinder was used in this video?

[@eyeballll]

Does the ball gouge come with the threaded adapter to allow screwing it onto the grinder?

[@Chris-vp9ht]

any chance of a review on your new planer thicknesser. great vid

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Very well spotted. Im making a video on putting it together and then I will do a review after I have had it a wile.

[@Chris-vp9ht]

awesome look forward to it

[@WoodBrothersNDS]

good job man..

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@matte796]

Have you tried it on properly hard wood like acacia or oak.? Everyone seems to use softwood

[@grapplergirl10]

I used it on white oak and pecan, both were hardwoods

[@fredturner6535]

Cutting round logs on a band saw like this is very dangerous look it up and be safe

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

Perhaps Arbotech will add the disc cutter (or whatever they call it) in the future so you can use it on the outside of the spoon. Great project Matt 👍👍👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank would speed it up.

[@MakeThings]

Very neat. At first I’m thinking that it’ll take off on you as it’s a spinning blade, like a router, but this actually looks very stable.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It does not grab the wood at all. I thought it might be scary to use but its not at all.

[@MakeThings]

Badger Workshop awesome! I’ll have to pick one up. Could be good for a #BWALC sometime.

[@MattJonesYT]

I feel like it would have been a bit better video to do the spoon with only the ball gouge and band saw.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thanks for the input
