woodchuck

[avbill]

For all the turners that have bought the woodchuck tool. Did you purchase the handle at the same time OR

how long did you make the handle?

thank you

Made my handle 10" long. Used a piece of Padauk with a brass flange nut for the ferrule.

I used an interchangable handle (Kelton I think) but several of the good metal handles on the market would work well.

I bought a handle with the tool and it is about 10 inches long.

Bought the handle with the tool. Great investment.

I make all my own handles. I own 5 Woodchucks/Skoggers and the handles range from 6 inches up to 15 inches, all depends on what I am doing and my mood that day.

Got the handle with it. Way to go.

Made my own handle, I went out and cut down a piece of mesquite. Turned it to fit my hands and it is long enough to have good control when I move up to larger projects.

Love the little guy...

Made my own handle - 12" long - no regrets.

Made mine on one and used some premade from CSUSA on the others.

ken, was nice enough to send me one with the handle,since I had no way of making a handle yet. it's a great tool and great design, I recommend that to anyone who suffers from sharpening tool syndrome.
