Handle for socket chisel

[Maurice Mcmurry]

I have this one to do next. I am going to up my game and copy one of Derek Cohen's lovely handles. I have the lathe that my father in law bought when he was a teenager. I think it is from Montgomery Wards. It is very basic. I also have the hand made turning chisels that Ralphs grandfather made. He was an Engineer and Machinist for the Northern Railroad and the Boston and Maine railroad.

Be sure to inspect that socket closely to be sure the mushrooming isn't starting a split. It happens far too often.
