I decided I needed a spindle gouge and thought that instead I would get the Robert Sorby Spindle Master.

The Spindlemaster is design flat on one side and oval on the other side. The idea is that this eliminates dig-ins. In addition to doing the job of a skew chisel it also is able to cut beads, coves, etc.
If you remember, last month I saw a great demonstration of this tool and a lot of the NWG members were quite taken with it.
Although I enjoy learning the intricacies of the skew chisel I thought having a combo tool would be beneficial no matter how I used it, whether as a skew, as a gouge or both.
We’ll see… 🙂
Back to the shop…
