Last night I turned a handle for a spindle gouge tool. The handle is made of maple and 12″ long and it was left unfinished for better gripping. I turned a large bead at the end and a smaller bead at the gouge end to accent the plain, sweeping curve of the tool.<\/p>\n

The gouge itself is a 10mm (3\/8″) spindle gouge made by Patience & Nicholson (P&N) of Australia. Their turning tools are made of hard-wearing, M2 high-speed steel and valued for their robust construction and ability to hold an edge.<\/p>\n

I started with a piece of maple approximately 2″ square and 14″ long and mounted this between centers:<\/p>\n

The handle was then drilled out to accommodate the gouge and both the gouge and brass ring were glued in place with CA glue.<\/p>\n

This was a fairly straight forward project but I find that it is always that much better when you can receive first hand instruction. It not only takes out the guess work but saves on trial and error.<\/p>\n

I turned this at a Lee Valley course and like the Cocobolo Wine Bottle Stopper Topper I turned last week<\/a> it was taught by David Wilkins.<\/p>\n
