repurposing short gauges ?????

[Jim Colombo]

I'm looking for ideas. What do you do with the gauges when they get to be too short to sharpen?

I’ve reground the ‘back end’ of some too short to use gouges into point tools and an attempt at a fluteless gouge. That’s good, expensive steel. I may not be successful always, but I’ve got a drawerfull to practice on...

I've ground off the bottom of a short bowl gouge to make a beading tool.
