Some manufacturers sell the tools without handles, which reduces the costs. Tools with round shafts are fairly simple to create handles by drilling the correct size hole. But, what about the tools with square shafts? Sam Angelo has a solution- Looking for a project that can help you advance your skills and learn a few new ones? Check out this ornaments from Carl Jacobson. Using a jam chuck can solve a lot of "How do I hold this piece".

This is another review of the CBN wheels from the Ukraine company https://www.uksg.tools/ Everything Else- Want to thank @kmealy for sending me this YouTube video from Stumpy Nubs. Keith knows I love Celtic Knot patterns. Stumpy's video shows an easier way to glue up a Celtic Knot rolling pin. It's pretty cool and his diagonal cutting jig is really easy to make/use. The only thing I would caution on is to NOT cut the square blank completely through. By separating the blank and gluing the insert will cause the overall blank to "grow' in length on each successive rotation. this will cause the "knots" to be out of alignment. Here's the video- Safe turning

Click on the calendar for the link to the interactive page. The Easy Wood Tools Detailers are typically used to create fine lines on a turning. They can also be used to shape tiny details in objects like finials. The Detailers come in two configurations. The Easy Detailer, which uses the standard Ci4 cutter or the negative rake Ci4-NR cutter And the Easy Micro Detailer, which uses the Ci7 cutter or the negative rake Ci7-NR cutter This short video from Craft Supplies USA demonstrated the Easy Detailer This video, from Tracey Malady uses the Easy Detailer and Micro Detailer to help shape a finial- When using this tool, the best surface is created by having only one side of the cutter in contact with the material, at a time, as the cutter goes deeper into the turning.
