Cliff 1,923 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 See the tilt differences? IT's supposed to keep the littler tools from spinning out What lathe tool carousel picture would be without a Where's Waldo picture with the wood carousel lost in wood clutter? If you can find it in the first thirty seconds of looking you win a prize. It's an a ll expenses paid dream vacation to the mists of Avalon long ago and far away.

lew 18,065 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I get it now! I was having trouble visualizing the center ring. Much nice than the one I built. The tools are easier to identify and remove from their holder. But I still hate you because of that lathe ;^) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff 1,923 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'll make it worse. I'm already better than Malcom Tibbits. Wheee On a more serious note: I turned my first handle today from some apple. Started out with the Benjamen's best 2" roughing gouge, the one you see in the carousel, Just for the deviltry of I switched over to a 3/4" Thompson chisel with no handle. I liked the handle-less thompson better than the Benny's Best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew 18,065 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Maybe it's just me but when roughing, the long handles help with reducing the tool bounce. Ernie Richardson (BAA Bugler) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Moody 3,097 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Cliff that is a really nice Carrousel for the tools. Now here is just a thought to help keep them steady, Put you a small round rare earth magnet in the top and the metal of the tool will attach and hold it in place so they down bounce around. A small magnet and a little glue and they will stay put. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have it populated with Thomson tools. The only tool of his that I'd improve upon would be the cut off tool. If he made diamond shaped so that the sides of the tool didn't rub it'd be a really big deal. And since it's powdered metal technology the shape of the tool is all in the mold. I did get one of those great huge gouges that Benjamin's Best makes and I don't like it nearly so well as the Thompson gouge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
