HandyDan Posted December 3, 2022 Report Posted December 3, 2022 I keep talking about my Craftsman brand shallow spindle gouges. I came across this video with a similar gouge being used. Check out the amount of available cutting edge and the shearing cuts being achieved. Close to a skew but easier to use. Seeing it in action is much better than words. I would like to know what he is using for a finish too. Cal, lew and forty_caliber 3 Quote
lew Posted December 3, 2022 Report Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Cool video, Thanks, Dan! That's an interesting grind on the shallow spindle gouge, almost like a negative rake on the "inside" of the tip Edited December 3, 2022 by lew Cal 1 Quote
lew Posted December 3, 2022 Report Posted December 3, 2022 Maybe something from here for the finish- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channapatna_toys Cal 1 Quote
Gerald Posted December 4, 2022 Report Posted December 4, 2022 Interesting video. I would think he had a better surface of the gouge before using that skew as a scraper., Looks like the finish is some kind of lacquer but have never seen it applied that way. Cal, lew and HandyDan 3 Quote

Whatever the finish was he was using would cover a lot of imperfections. Cal, lew and Gerald 3 Quote
