Great looking lathe tool. I bet it was cheaper and better than buying one. Can’t beat manufactured in the USA.

Looks like what my dentist

NICE!!! Love tools made at home.

It’s a beauty Jim. Those specialty tools sure come in handy. Waiting to see the job you need it for.

Nice, Jim! I’ve got a little forge and hoping I can get started on making tools I need. Once I finish up the bookcases, and the table to hold the forge, and the lathe to turn the legs for the table to hold the forge…

Hmm. Maybe I should just keep buying tools. ;-)

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Hi Woodmaster1…............It was cheaper and made to order.

Hi Dave. I can’t show what it was made for because the job is gone and I did not have the camera in the shop at the time. I was hollowing this spherical part and there was a shaft sticking out that was part of the sphere I had to under cut the sphere and there was only about 3/8 “clearance. This little guy slipped right in there and did the job. Now I have it for other jobs.

Hi Dave. I often though about making a forge but I already have too many irons in the fire( no pun intended) and then I’d need an anvil and lot of tongs…etc. I do what I need to do with an Oxy-Acetylene torch.

Cheers, Jim

Beautiful Jim
Looks like I have another “must-build” tool for my lathe operation. That would allow me to make larger hollowed out globes for Christmas Ornaments! Thanks for the great inspiration.
What did you use for the cutter to harden it ?
