Tool handle

[terry q]

Needed a new tool handle for a 3/8 detail gouge. Mahogany and Maple.

Wow! That's really classy!

Show off... :wink:

My tools are buried in shavings... I think! Need to find a few...

(Very pretty!).

I really like your handle!
Ive only been doing small turnings;seem rippers (75+) pens (50+) and bottle stoppers (30+) and 2 ok bowls. It was only one year ago this month I got my first lathe...

I am hooked on turning now and just love the endless creativity in turning.

Never turned a handle. I purchased carbide tools from captain Eddy with 2 semi short handles that are square stainless steel. Can I make a longer handle and put these square bars into a turned handle? Square into a circle confuses me.

Will adding a longer handle to these bars give me more stability while trying to scrape out the inside of a bowl?

Terry - is there nothing you won't do that design on? Next you'll be doing pepper grinders and knife handles!!!

Nice work, though. Prob makes you smile every time you pick it up.

Hmmm. I think that would look pretty cool on the right knife.

Yes make your own handles for Capt'ns tools.

Yes you can make your own handles for Capt'n Eddies tools. There are many youtube video's on it and many books on tool handles.

Love the design on the handles. Nice job.
