Today I needed to use my small spindle gouge for about a minute. All of my handles had other blades in them. Instead of taking the time to remove a blade from a handle and insert my spindle gouge I just held the gouge blade in my hands. It worked well. Without a handle are there safety...
Today I was looking at Thompson Lathe Tool's metal handles with interchangeable cutting blades (term?). With round holes in the handle a round gouge would fit. What about those with square or rectangular tangs? Are there adaptors?
When I mention Thompson above I am not limiting the question...
I would like to turn handles for my tools instead of buying tools with handles.
I have just received the Sorby 3/8 spindle gouge and am searching the Internet to find a rule-of-thumb as to what size ferrule I should use. Is there a standard as to tool diameter to ferrule diameter?
