Wood turning. Making a detail/spindle gouge

Making a tool handle out of pine and grinding down an old tool as a spindle/detail gouge, works great! Don't know whats up with the camera though, some shots are really blurry....

Why did you leave out the part about drilling out the end that holds the steel? Seems like a pretty important part of the lesson to leave out.

Good job! Looks nice! Really good job on grinding your own tool steel, as it's not the easiest to do and get good results. My first try was a throw-away, but now that I've made a few, they come out really nicely.
One bit of caution, pine is not a good material for a handle, just too soft and has too many issues with that type of use. Ash, Maple or another hardwood are better.
If you ever get a catch, there is a good chance the handle will snap, and it can cut you badly if it happens!

Anyway, a tool that nice, and that you likely put a good bit of effort into, deserves a nicer handle made of some nice hardwood.
I have used beech that I cut myself from a large branch. I cut it into a blank on my 12" bandsaw (no pith), and then rough-turned it wet. Then after 2 weeks in my kiln, I finished turning it. My kiln is simply an insulated box with a dehumidifier and heat lamp, and was cheap to make. You could even use only the heat lamp and fan if necessary.
Keep up the good work!

Great job!

@findingusernamesux11 Thank you. I'll give that a go.

Nice job Nic, the handle turned out great. Love the music very dramatic :)
Thanks,Carl

Thanks mister!
After grinding it down it really works as a spindle gouge and I really like how the handle worked out!

@findingusernamesux11 What did you use to glue the tool into the handle please? I want to make longer handles for some of my gouges and, so far, 2-part epoxy seems to be the most favoured method.
Best Wishes, Brendan.

Never tried epoxy, I'm using CA-glue-instant bond.
I've used that on all my handles and some of them are over a year old now and still working great.
