Hey guys,
I have an extra Thompson handle sitting around that I would like to put to use, problem is it has a 5/8 nose and I want to use it for a 1/2 gouge. I don't see bushings/adaptors on his site. I know that several other handle makers make the bushings, but not sure if they're compatable with Thompson? I actually have a DWay 2/1 to 3/8 bushing, and it looks like the holes don't quite line up with the grub screw holes on the Thompson handle. Thought perhaps one of you out there might know.
PS - I did try to call Doug already, but sounds like he's away at the moment :-)
