Doug Thompson Tools

[Andy Pogue]

Just got my order. WOW! haven't used it yet but what service! Just like a business should be run. He was super accomodating and got my order out when promised. Recommend highly.

[Thom Sturgill]

Wait till you use them! I had to try mine before I even got handles on them!.

[alex carey]

congratz, all i here are good things, one day when I have the money to spare or my main gouge goes out ill get one of those.

I seem to remember using mine before being handled as well. :)

You are going to love using them. Which reminds me that I was about to go order some more...

[Cathy Schaewe]

You can't beat them - I was just thinking of selling my inferior bowl gouges, because I can't even stand to pick them up after using the Thompsons.

I love my Thompsons - my bowl gouge, 3 detail gouges, my spindle gouge, and all the ones I don't yet own!

John- there's no doubt about it. I had a break today, and found myself researching the difference between the nova dvr and the jet 1642 evs! I think I've lost my mind!:eek:

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on your tools. If you think they look good wait till ya use them.

Been there, done that. Drove myself nuts. Glad to have it behind me. :D

Congratulations on the Thompson Andy, however, a word of warning. I am new to turning but after reading the comments from people in this group, I purchased a Thompson 5/8" bowl gouge, I now have 11 of his tools. Excellent quality and very reasonable in my mind.

[Jarrett Sadowsky]

I started using mine without handles as well. In fact I used them to make their handles.

Cathy, don't know what your particular turning needs are, but I had a Nova 1624-44 and upgraded to the Jet 1642 - less expensive than a DVR, and heavier duty - I like a speed adjustment knob, too, rather than soft-touch buttons. Just a comment.

11! Stealth gloat!!!

[Phil Warnement]

Just out of curiosity, how do you use the tools without the handles to make the handles?

[Jarrett Sadowsky]

I was nervous at first, but holding them firmly and making light cuts, it seamed safe.

Congrats on the tools, best out there for the price and a great guy.

[Jim Maxwell]

Thompson tools have even penetrated Australia. We have some pretty tough timbers here and these tools stand up well.

I still haven't made a handle for my spindle gouge ... very comfortable in your hansd :eek:

[Roland Martin]

Congrats Andy, from what I hear, Doug's tooling is hard to beat. I ordered my first one and received it last week (still haven't tried it yet:() I plan on ordering a second or third very shortly!
