Or not, as you know heat treating and unknown alloy can be, well, interesting. Most "cheap" tools today are HSS, there isn't much carbon-steel being made any more

The reason that most of us recommend cheap tools to start with is that grinders tend to wreck the tool, if you don't know what you are doing. If you are hand sharpening....

I have a small barn for the forge, firewood and other things. The wood shop is now in a different building. Also, Fred Holder, a frequent poster here and one of the links I sent you, is a member of both ABANA and AAW

Harry.. I use the 3 chisel set of "benjamin's best" bowl chisels from PSI and have been very happy with them.. I think the set was under $100...

Thanks Mac. I live close enough to Penn State to easily drive there and back in a couple hours. About time to make another trip and check out some of their goodies.

Personally, for a 10" lathe I would use a 3/16" and 1/4" Oland tool for bowls. Cost about $10.00

(I know I'm late to the party, but pretend you just posted it, just to humor me, okay?)

Some sliced turkey that has set out in a warm room too long seems to do the trick.

Yeah, my proctologist. Why is it that they feel compelled to tell bad jokes while wandering about in there?

On the other end of the canal, why is that dentists ask questions requiring more than a grunt for an answer while drilling?

I've always wondered that myself but settle for just being happy that my dentist don't practice proctology on the side.
