I decided to make a set of carbide lathe tools. I turned the handles today. While they are only 16 inches long this is the longest I can turn on my little Rikon lathe. I'm very happy with the way they turned out.
My first handle, made from mystery wood, possibly bass wood which is a terrible choice for a handle but it probably won't see much use. I de-rusted, polished and linseed oiled the head. The handle is sanded to 220 and several coats of BLO.
I have two paring knives (about 26 yrs old) that Carla really likes. One has the handle split, and I figure the other cannot be too far behind.
I have already made a template, and have cut 3 handles of red oak (the only wood that was the correct thickness).

Router Crafter needed. Model # 720.25250.
This handle has what looks to be about a 5/8" spur or star drive on one end. Sears parts responds with "no longer available".
The Router Crafter is used to flute table legs or other round stock, by guiding a router on rails above the stock.
With all the gardener/woodworkers here I thought maybe someone whose Google-fu is strong might point me in the right direction.
I need a new handle for my digging hoe. It has an non standard eye [see photos]. Looking for something at least 60" long. Or where could I get a 60"+ 2x2 of hickory or...

This is the 2 1/4 hp with a vac handle. How does this stack up vs Festool's routers.
As far as dust collection is concerned.
Please, no opinions. Experience between the two is appreciated.
No, back in the day stories, when tools were tools and men were.... oh well
Thanks

I have recently acquired an old Stanley Bailey #5 plane that has the top missing off the handle; where is a good source for a replacement handle?
Thanks
Our friend is back!
We've seen some of these videos from a Finish archive.
