First attempt at making a gouge

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 21:44:32 +0000

by: Derek Jeffries

Description}: Here is my first attempt at 2 things, making a tool handle and making a gouge. The other day I was given some old drill bits and round stock. All HSS. These came from a factory that makes transmission parts. It took quite some time to get the flute ground, but I have learned a lot from this experiment. I am very pleased with the way the gouge works, it leaves a very nice finish. The one problem is the length of the metal. It will make it impossible to use for deep bowls. As for the handle, I didn't have any pipe that would fit for the ferrel, so I took some twine, and lots of superglue just so I could test it out. As soon as I can make it to HD, I am going to replace the twine with a proper ferrel... :) Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have 2 more pieces that are larger in diameter than this one. And from the way they talk I will be able to get all of the bits that they burn up. :)

Winged challenge Piece

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:36:53 +0000

by: Derek Jeffries

Description}: Sorry for the delay. I have been sick since last weekend. My piece still needs some finish sanding, and a couple coats of finish. Made out of what I belive is Poplar. As you can see it warped some after turning. The crazy thing about this wood is that it will warp and crack right after turning, but within a few days the cracks have disappeared.
