How's it going, everybody?!
I hope everything is well with you and your families!
Welcome to another episode!
I always had a passion for working with wood, I had this old trusty wood lathe sitting in my garage for over a year now, so I finally decided to knock the dust out of it! The thing is I only have one proper turning gouge/chisel with it so I came with idea to make couple of chisels myself!
Hopefully you will like it!

You have the equipment and good techniques for annealing, then re-hardening the steel and for sharpening these tools, but I can hardly believe you have ever seen or used any woodturning tools before.

[@1977ajax]

You really should learn how to cut and shape with a skew properly. It's not a glorified scraper.

I once made a chisel from a tang off a garden fork found in my shed. It wasn't amazing but does perform a task.

winter = time in the shop and ice fishing!

[@terryreilly1382]

Thank you it was a pleasure to watch you using your skills. Well done.

[@thomaszaccone3960]

That is awesome. The biggest obstacle is the forge.

[@Kunfucious577]

I find the similarities in working with wood and metals fascinating.

[@graff324]

Respect, well done Sir. A true Craftman!

Nothing’s more satisfying than making one’s own tools. Thank you for taking us along on your impressive process.

I made a set of lathe scrapers years ago from old files but without the annealing and re-hardening, grinding only. I used brass pipe fittings to make the ferrules and they work very well. I also have a few crude lathe tools made by my grandfather from old planer blades, a very good source (if harder to find) of good quality tool steel.

[@peternixon7167]

That's imaginative. I thought you were going to do a knife of some sort, but you made something REALLY useful.

[@robinfulton9057]

Thanks, I enjoyed watching this.

[@terencefranks1688]

an amazing finish !

[@28reinvent]

Merry Christmas. And thank you for keeping the keeping alive the skills of creating new tools from the old ones. You are a true artist and I love watching you work. All the best.

👍Nice Work!!

[@JamesCouch777]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I've made quite a few turning tools with varying degrees of success. I wish I had more knowledge of tempering and hardening. Nice job on the tools 👌
