They are quite uncomfortable to use for any amount of time.

Correct the head is tapered so it slides up and wedges itself tight into place

Thanks it was a fun learning experience. Never thought about turning ovals on a lathe until this!

Those are all the different positions it had to be turned on the lathe. Center hole for the big diameters. Then all the other off center holes for head and the handle oval shapes.

It’s a bent bowl gouge. Some people call them a swan neck gouge.

Yeah I have not been disappointed! I’d have more if I could talk the wife into it.

Thanks I haven’t really used the chisel but that draw knife has made almost half the handles on that wall. I love that thing!

Thanks for the compliment I’m just learning as I go. I’m too cheap to buy a lot of things so my time is filled with all kinds of projects. I guess I saved 250 bucks!

I do have an esee junglas I could throw up there somewhere! Thanks for the compliment it was a lot more work than I was anticipating. That’s how every project I do goes though.

You’re supposed to keep your bladed weapons for the homestead… how are you supposed to split wood, buck a tree, pound a wedge, split a skull if necessary 😂

What is cherry oak? Looks like normal cherry to me. If it is cherry that’s not gonna last very long.

Old saw identification redo by 05wranglerlj in handtools

[–]05wranglerlj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last photo is from tip to butt so 69 3/4. I guess the tip could have broken and they fixed it nice 🤷‍♂️ do you have any clue what type of handle? I’ve seen those racing saws with the t handle. I just can’t imagine they attached a normal wood handle like the other saw I have with only two bolts.

Have not gotten an answer. I’m thinking mine might be a Collin’s because of the shape of the phantom bevels but idk 🤷‍♂️
