A while back, at an estate sale, I purchased a Thompson "travel" set. This consists of a 12" handle, and inside the handle resides four 3/8" gouges. Here is a picture I found on the web that shows the tips of the gouges:
As you can see, the gouge on the right is blank. I'm looking for ideas of what to do with that. I'm thinking to just grind it on a bias so it would be sort of an oval and use it as a spindle detail gouge, but I'm not sure how well that would work. Anyone grind one of these into something usefull?
