Making And Using A Bowl Hook Tool

I start with a suspension coil from a car and through a process of heating, bending and hammering, I end up with a rod that I am able to fashion into a very practical tool for turning bowls, plates and the like. It is a long process so therefor is an edited version - still, I hope it inspires someone to have a go!

Nice video. Thanks , I learned something new today.Also I like Suzanne Vega. Did she change her name. I have heard other songs on the radio that sounds like her but a different name which I can't remember.

Excellent video! bravo! We're like-minded it seems. You make a thing...and then you're not satisfied until you make the tool that made the thing...but then you're not happy until you've built the machine to make the tool to make the thing...lol It's great, isn't it?

Now hooked to your channel, watched everything at least once through. Wish you had more on your "living" bowl turning set up, that was inspirational. Im also now seriously considering blacksmithing up some tools myself (buying them is right out, quite expensive). Would like to know just what the 16mm bar was, some specific quality of tool steel?

Thanks and keep the videos coming.
