Handmade and Special Purpose Lathe tools
I really enjoy woodworking and especially hand tool and turning. I really like to make small lathe tools for detail work. I use HSS in different sizes depending on the tool I need or want to make. In this picture from left to right, point detail tool, 1/4" point and round nose scrapers, 1/4" round skew, 1/4" double ended three point tool, small Allen wrench hollowing tool, 1/4" fluteless gouge.
In this picture from left to right: 3/8" three point tool from and old screwdriver, 3/8" x 3/8" round negative rake scraper, 1/4" fluteless gouge again, 1/2" round skew.
I use these tools pretty regularly and they give me a lot of options when doing different small projects. I use the Oneway thread-lok ferrule so that I can just change out the tool needed.
