I've been wanting an inertia sander for a while, so yesterday I decided to make this! I used left over Rollerblade parts from my steady rest, an old buffing pad I cut down, purple heart scraps, and one of the dogs old dense foam balls. Just being cut it will continue to become bright purple the...

I did accomplish something today. I brought home a rusty piece of 3/8" square bar from the flea market Sunday. I had some osage orange (bois d' arc) that a friend gave to me. I roughed out the blank, sized it for a ferrule,then CA glued it on. I make it a tight fit so I can screw it on. A file...

I've been teaching myself a little basic turning lately, and decided I needed a proper place to put my lathe tools. (The cardboard box I kept them in was definitely cramping my style). I decided while I was at it I could whip one up for some bench chisels as well, (I get in a little shop...

Maple handles, 1/2" round bar, copper ferrule, carbide cutters. Maple handles sanded to 320 and finished with shellac. Copper sanded to 2000, buffed, then sprayed with shellac. Cost was around $11 each. If I do this again, I may use aluminum square bar stock instead of steel. edit: Oct 2016...

I needed a place to put my turning tools, but hanging something on the wall wasn't a good option. My lathe (HF 34706) is on a mobile base and gets moved around vs a dedicated space. I finally came up with this lathe mounted holder that protects the tool tips and people. It's mounted so that...

My younger brother recently got into turning, so last time he was down here, I rustled up some scrap steel rod and a couple carbide cutters from the metalworking part of the shop and made the shafts. Fast forward a couple months and I finally got my new lathe, so the first project was to make a...

I have had the finisher and detailer easy wood tools, but could not justify buying the rougher as well. I came across this Gladstone rougher shaft with 3 hss cutters for $30 bucks. It also stated the the easy wood tool cutters fit as well (have not tried yet). As the tool comes unhandled, I...

These handles were made for inserts from Cap'n Eddie Castelin, reviewed here http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/5202, the 18mm round and 15mm radius square. I used 1/2" square mild steel barstock ~11" long. 2-1/2" was inserted and epoxied into a 9/16" hole in the handle, after rounding the corners...

Thanks to Jim Jakosh for giving me this drill bit. He also milled the depth stop for it. I turned the handle out of a piece of walnut I had laying around. This is my first tool handle that i turned for myself. I used the bit and stop to drill the hole for the bit. Used 5 minute epoxy to secure...

In between projects I decided to make a handle for my pen mill. I have been finding lately that I use it more to scrape off the glue before using my sanding jig. It was getting kind of annoying just holding it. This is made out of left over wood and the top and bottom is burned. Mill was then...

Lathe turning tool tray For my new lathe I have seen something like this here on our beloved LJ, and found out fast, that I needed to make me one. So now the tools are where I need them, when I need them. (Just have to buy some proper tools now…). Materials are scrap - MDF and some pine. NOW...

This tool was inspired by my crazy neighbor, he decided to try hollowing, and rather than spend $100.00+ on hollowing tools he decided to make his own. Drill bits are HSS so I guess it works, so I decided to make my own after trying his out, because believe it or not it worked "amazingly well"...
