Taper tool DIY post
from old saw blade and a piece of wood.
Making my shaving horse I realized that I needed a taper tool for future projects, so I tried to find an old one with no luck, and then I checked the prices for a new and realized I wanted to make my own…
After some looking at the web I found this page: www.greenwoodworking.com and there a fine version that should be quite easy to make from some scrap and a spin on the lathe, so I went for it.
Thank you to greenwoodworking!
You can see the full DIY on the blog here: http://lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/28109
I just saw our LJ friend daltxguy also made one http://lumberjocks.com/daltxguy/blog/19528
Pictures:
1. Tapering a hole.
2. turning the tool body.
3. Cutting of a piece of old saw blade.
4. Sharpening the blade.
5. Taking care of the details.
6. Tapered hole.
Hope it can be to some inspiration, perhaps some taper tools, thank you to greenwoodworking,
