Jimmy Clewes came to the woodturning club last year and showed us how to do a spindle piece with a twist on the lathe only using regular tools. I made one just to see if I could. Turned out really neat as I used a piece of Birds Eye Maple. Had not idea what I was going to do with it. During the summer I went to one of the San Diego Woodturners Mini Symposium and there was a guy selling tool handles with a keyless drill chuck on the end. Now I had an idea. I ordered one from CS as it already cam threaded. Drilled a hole in the end and epoxied it in place. I am totally happy with the way it turned out. I like to do little hollow forms from time to time and use sharpened allen wrenches to get inside the tight places. Can use it to hold drill bits for making depth holes. I can also use my 3/8 finish bowl gouge. I do believe this is going to be a very handy handle in the shop. Comments welcome.
