Can anyone recommend some decent turning tools for spinning some AYC ?... also looking to find out where I can purchase some blanks...


Thanks.

Tools - Woodworkerswarehouse has good sales/harborfreight/ e-bay/used tool stores look local.

Wood- I have some AWC 2x6x4 good for practicing on and you could pull a few plugs out of it. Let me know your welcome 2 it, Ill leave it at Mikes. You got a table saw?

Chris

Thanks Chris!

Yes, I have access to a table saw to cut it up...

Thanks Chris ... eels off the bottom perhaps...

Sounds crazy eh?

Instead of calling them earplugs... we'll call then eelplugs! :laughs:

This is what happens when you eat lead paint as a kid!!!

maybe spending too much time with #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&?

Hi Bliz, I would highly recommend getting top of the line tools for turning.
I have a Sorby 1/8" parting tool and a 1" skew and a 3/4" roughing gouge made by Record Power. Both companies are from Sheffield England.
They use a much higher quality steel, which will hold a better edge.
Sharp tools are key.
The above 3 tools will run you around $100.00

Where do you purchase those from?...

Best price for 1/8" parting tool, 3/4" gouge and a 1" skew. $91.97

This is where I bought mine.

Bernzy

Thanks!...

I'll check them out!... :)

Most of mine are Millers Falls and Bernzy said it, SHARP is everything

I got two real old ones made by Buck Bro's that I think is damaskis???steel? Older does not always mean better.

Chris

Damascus Steel is superb quality for knives! I'm sure it's the same for turning tools!

One hour til auction!... auto auction that is...
