couldn’t afford carving tools so i made these my self
get-r-dun!!
here is my workshop
the tools are made from a broken file, it is a curved bottom
i used 1” spade wood bits and made 1 curved bottom and 1 straight bottom
a broken screw driver makes a dandy curved bottom carving tool
i hope my adventures will show you don’t have to spend money to have fun
my work bench is a old coffe table with a brace to keep it steady
may peace and love follow you always http://picasaweb.google.com/roydahlgren/HandmadeTools111307

What did you make them from? Are they reclaimed chisels?

If I’m looking at it right, those are limbs for handles… very authentic!

Great job. I absolutely doing things cheaply. (Just check back on most of my projects to verify that) I think there’s a lot of satisfaction to be had in making your own tools, or restoring old junk into new (to you) tools.
Keep up the good work. -SST

Roy, You are my kind of dude. I’m always trying to make something rather than buy one. If I absolutely HAVE to buy a hand tool, I usually buy one used and refurbish it. Great Job…
