Mega turning gloat

[Don Farr]

I guess that I gloat over whatever helps me the most with my woodworking and these sure do that. They were a long time coming but worth the wait.
No major power tools here, just some hand tools that really helped. Thanks for your suggestions Kevin, I am truly impressed with the performance of these high quality tools.
I kept wondering what everyone was talking about when they said that it cuts wood like butter. NOW! I know. :D
Sorry!! I forgot to mention the mega-jaws for turning bowls.
Man I am a happy camper Now!

I guess it time for me to change my silly signature. :D

Don, those are very nice new TOYS ya got there, my friend! :D There is nothing like good turning tools, and I am in the planning mode now for another Bowl Gouge. They really help bring your turning to a new level............and you have obviously achieved that Don..........you are doing a great job with that crazy spinny thing. A nice Gouge and thick scraper are essential to excellent results, and the choices you made are great. How 'bout those Cole Jaws, Huh? I really like mine......it makes it sooooooo easy to get a wonderful finish on bowl bottoms. Keep doing what you are doing Don........I really enjoy seeing the progress you are making........your last bowl, even though it required a small save on your part, was excellent. By Jove, I think you've got it! ;)

Don,
I just ordered the same scraper this weekend at the show in somerset. I can't wait to get it. Never laid hands on Hamlet tools yet but They come highly recomended. Is that the 1 inch? That's what I'm getting. Enjoy!

Don, "Hamlet", no less! Good for you! I've pretty much stuck with Sorby thus far, but may try some of those in the future, as I've heard a LOT of positive stuff about them. Yup, the right tools can sure make all the difference! Congrats on some nice pieces! :cool:
