From the album: Adopt a Warrior Family For Christmas 2025
This Easy Rougher has been donated back to our community for the Navy Christmas Family fundraiser by Erwin Davis. Erwin was awarded this wonderful turning tool in last Summers fundraiser and he was kind enough to let us re-gift it for this years Christmas project. Thank you Erwin! -
I needed some more tool handles for some tools I am making. The cheapest adapters are $22. I had a piece of 1” aluminum round bar in my tool box from where I used to work. I was a beater bar to tap bearings and things you didn’t want to damage. I cut the mushroomed ends off and got two 12” pieces. I drilled the appropriate hole in the end for the tool, and drilled and taped two holes for the Allen screws. Then I put a piece of bicycle tire tube to make it comfortable. Really happy with how they turned out. Put a scraper I made in this one and the balance was really nice. I can but two 1” by 11” aluminum bars for under $20. I might be making more of these in the future.

I need to replace the cutter on my EZ wood rougher. The one I have (I bought this tool used) is an R2. In trying to find the significance of this I see there are 3 different radii offered...a 1", a 2" (mine) and a 4". Is there a reason to buy a different radius than the 2" I have? I tried to find this on the web and did not get the answer to my question, though there was a number of videos about them.

The go to method for turners is a wire with two handles to protect from heat when the wire gets hot. You do all the work and pull tight. Probably for most not an issue, why reinvent the wheel. Enter the almost one armed guy, we are going to have to improvise. Took some time to do some R&D and figure out a work around. This is what I came up with. Takes any wire size, can be increase / decrease tension by way of the black knob at the top. No fancy springs and such just a 7/16 wrench and insert wire, bend around bolt and tighten. Repeat same for other side. Tension as you like and you are ready to go. Results speak for themselves. Used copper welding wire for this test. This prototype is made to taken apart only for the purpose of showing how I did the insides. R&D is all done and this works so if I want a better one I have a template to work from. Works for left or right handed use, mostly because I am lefty most of the time. Pins have days they work, or don't work well. I can rest my bad arm on the top of the tool and push down with my good arm with the back handle. Now that I have the proof of concept done I can work on making this smaller, or maybe just be happy this works and be done. The assembled tool: Inside the tool: Test Drive:
