my next attempt (chisel handle & oops completed)

[head clansman]

Hi all

after my first attempt. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/oops-t40393.html


finished setting up the lathe today when the new rubber feet arrived which are self adhesive . After my little oops i decided it was through picking up the wrong turning chisel , so decided to put a few away for now till i learn a bit more first. Most of the scrapper chisel i have are quite big from the two shown in the pics i decided to reshape one into a small scrapper chisel and turn up two better handle for them as these had home made handles which were not brilliantely finished as can be seen in the pics .

Hunted round till i relised i had stashed away above my head some old curtain poles they could have been a bit bigger in circumfertence but never mind the first of the two handles has turned out not to bad at all see pics. any comments welcome .

first pic show from left short length of pole before turning The new handle when finished in the middle the pattern which i copied from and on the righ the two chisel which are to have the new handles fitted . the second pic showing pattern and new handle .

It'll do the job nicely, nothing like the satisfaction of achieving a personal target and even more so when you end up with something that's going to be useful for some time to come.

Hi Martin,
As has been said, nice job! Hope you have got some "job satisfaction" out of that one.

P.S glad to see I am not the only one who has those "oops" moments!

hi malc

yes i did indeed , but not just from the turning point of view also from the fact that i got to save a couple of older chisel as well and bring them back to life, and i get to learn from them as i'm doing them up, all sort of ideas has sprung to mind today for future chisel designs for other turnings that i have in mind . hc :lol: :wink:

Looks like you had a much more successful time of it with this go HC Your handle looks spot on and not an 'oops' in sight.
