Easy Wood Tools Mid Size Hollowing Tool #1
AndrewB posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Well again I'm impressed with packaging. I received it today, ups guy was late with it came back to my place after his deliveries were done and dropped it off for me which was nice. Product came in great condition. I have yet to use this tool but I'm sure I will be using it plenty. Over all tool length is good. Will be interesting once I start using it for hollowing but it will be better than the PSI tools I was using previously. I was expecting it this morning how ever as I said UPS guy was LATE shame. Either way here's what you can expect when ordering these tools.... They are quite nicely packaged and boxed. I can not WAIT to use this.

After the last meeting our turning club had back in November we were diccussing covers for turning tools to protect the edges from damage and protect others from getting hurt by the sharp edges. I thought maybe Kydex and someone suggested PVC. I looked at what I had and the cost of getting different diameters. For my 5/8 Thompson I used 1/2 schedule 40 and a heat gun to soften and stretch. For my 1 1/4 scrapers I used 1 inch schedule 40 which when flattened is a perfect fit. Note that schedule 40 has a little memory so while still hot tends to spring back so I had to leave in the vise to cool and it stays that way. The cover for the bowl gouge fits so well that the gouge will not go any deeper into the sleeve.

I'm thinking a lazy susan type rack with the lathe tools leaning inward at about 10 degrees, I'm designing this lazy susan and go t to thinking about what might happen if I spun it fast enough to flip the tools outward. They'd clatter all over the floor and I'd have some grinder work to do I've considered rare earth magnets but I try to avoid magnetizing my tools and that'd do it. Maybe I'll have to bite that bullet. An alternative is to make the base deep enough that the handles would set in far enough that they couldn't fall out but could only be picked up and drawn out of the hole. I'm fishing for ideas

Well I was at work today getting together the tools for our Easy Wood Tools Loan and Review project. We will be shipping this case of tools out to our members to use for two weeks before they forward them on to the next user, each user will be asked to post a review here on The Patriot Woodworker. I worked on a used aluminum case today that I procurred to install the tools into. The case will then be shipped out to our first tester and reviewer Lew Kauffman, and after he is finished he'll ship them up the line to the next woodworker. The program will be in effect shortly, we still have a few more logistics to get down, but in a nutshell, this will cost the user nothing. All shipping fees are paid to and from the user. All you have to do is just use them! The following images are the Easy Wood Tools on loan to our members and guests by Craig and Paul Jackson of Easy Wood Tools, I still have to cut out the foam to fit the tools, but they are laid in place how they will ship, and there is plenty of literature and videos on disk for you guys to watch and read too. This is going to be fun and exciting. Each user will be able to grab an Easy Wood Tool pencil and EWT cool looking sticker to put on the rear window of your pickup truck! Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to getting these wonderful tools in your hands! Final set of tools as shipped

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. You even get to have dinner they Mordred and Morganna

Cleaning up the shop, putting away the toys, er tools. Spied a black box Hmm, wonder what I stashed in there? Opened it up, found a couple wood bodies for a few hand planes, eh....and a few of these That long sucker is a 5/8 Bowl gouge. If I recall correctly, and it was a yard sale item that cost a $1. Four Craftsman chisels, and four that were I think from Harbor Freight. Went back and cleaned these all up. Now the problems arise. You see, there isn't any room for them in this box and the lathe these went to is a rusty, broken down mess. Plastic fan on the "dryer" motor( looks like one, anyway) is broke. The joint between the two sections of the "T" rail is in BAD shape. Rusty as all get out. Not really worth the effort to rehab, even for me. So, what to do with these "Treasures"?
