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
This was then turned into a cylinder:<\/p>\n
And then turned to the desired shape. The tenon on the left was turned to the proper size of the brass ring creating a snug fit:<\/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
