A Turning Tool surprise.

[Harvey Ghesser]

The Fedex man delivered these two Glaser gouges today for my birthday. It was a surprise. Big time! I had wanted a couple more so that I wouldn't have to regrind the edges when doing the interior of bowls and such. I had no idea my kids were so devious as to ask me questions about woodturning and then turn around and call Paulo to place an order. The gouges are from my two sons and my future DIL.

Another pleasant surprise was the new coating that protects the metal. My other Glasers didn't have it when I bought them. Apparently, GlaserHiTec innovates.

Thanks for looking.

Very cool!

Harvey,
what a great present. And I see Paulo went the extra mile and and engraved that lovely message on there for you. By far one of the nicest things I've seen on a turning tool. I'd have to show them off all the time. plus the 15v steel is some of the best I've ever used. My favorite gouge for my bigger turning is a 15v Glaser 5/8 bowl gouge. The Thompson comes in a close second, being a U shaped 5/8. I can't quite tell from the pic but what is the flute shape on those. They look a little different than mine(mine being of the older Glaser brand).
Again, Congratulations!!!

Now this is more like it. More Glaser posts. Those are very nice. I got my new 15V and love it. Paulo told me that i was the first to get the new 15V metal and was honored. Glaser makes excellent tools by far. definitly top quality.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats. Those are some good looking tools.

[Bill Wyko]

The 15V 5/8 is definitely my go to gouge. I think you're gonna love those bad boys. I wish you could have been there with me to see the future of turning tools. It may seem impossible but......It's just gonna get better my friend. Can't wait to see what you turn with them.

[Russell Eaton]

Very cool birthday present. I want to try a Glaser one day. Might buy myself one for MY birthday.

[Richard Jones]

Nice looking tools! Now make some shavings!

Those will really mean more given the provenance................very special.

[Bill Hensley]

Well those are gifts that will keep on giving! You are obviously very loved. Big congrats to you!

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

Good kids! You trained them well. My 5/8" 15V is also my favorite Glaser tool. I have a few others and love them all but I find the 5/8" in my hands a lot. Happy Birthday and many more.........years and Glasers.

Oh yea, Happy birthday my friend. Enjoy.:D

[Roland Martin]

Congrats and Happy Birthday from a REALLY ENVIOUS CREEKER:D

[Andrew Kertesz]

Happy Brithday!! My son's is on the 13th as well. Nice looking gouges and a great surprise. My 15v has a different finish on it, similar to the handle and the black coating.

Who sells Glaser gouges? I searched the web but only found reviews. Would like to check them out.

Happy Birthday, Harvey. You must have been a good boy to receive such awesome gifts. I look forward to seeing what you create with these tools.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats Harvey - on your birthday and the wonderful gifts! Have fun!!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Thank you, Steve, and to all who took the time to "share" my 60th birthday. It only comes once in a lifetime!;)

Evan as I stop to check in here, I've got a HF cooking on the lathe with my other birthday present to myself, the Kobra. Between my Glasers and the Kobra, it's been a great Birthday!

Thank you all!

[Jerry Wright]

Harvey - let's see, 1 new gouge for every 25 years of age. Guess in another 25 years they will give you 3! Happy Birthday!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Jerry, your math is wrong...I was given one new gouge for every 30 years. I wish your math was Wright!:DThanks for the birthday wishes:)

[Baxter Smith]

Happy birthday Harry! Between those and a Kobra, it must ease the pain of turning 60!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Thanks, Baxter! Well, not really, but it sure helped. I've started using the Kobra and plan to do a tool review soon. Initial impression: It's awsome!!

[Donny Lawson]

I would love to own a set of those. Very nice.

[Harvey Ghesser]
