Hello all and Greetings from Nebraska! I'm finding that making tools is as much fun as making pens. Maybe it's not quite as much fun, but it sure makes turning pens a lot more enjoyable when I'm turning with tools that I made myself. I made the first one a few weeks ago out of maple and finished it with spray lacquer. The ones that I made last week and today were made out of hickory and were finished using Hut Crystal Coat. I still have one more that I want to make, for a diamond cutter (like EWT Ci4, but with sharp points instead of radiuses). I really like how the hickory turns compared to the maple.
I glued a custom glass cabochon on the ends of the tools to identify each specific cutter.
