Peebompson Tool

[David Propst]

Just spent an hour with my new 1/2" and 5/8" Thompson V Gouges mated with beautiful Dave Peebles' handles. I'm in love.

The gouges are sweet, the grind is perfect "out of the box" for me and the handles look really spiffy with them. The weight of the handle is right between a Glaser and wood, again perfect for me.

Working with some 3-year old holly that is about 2 days away from being too rotten to turn, but the spalting makes me gotta try! There will maybe pics of finished vessels in a couple weeks during my semester break.

Just wondering if those are "shot filled" handles......are they?

I don't recall ever hearing a discussion on shot filled handles.......and, if they have any merit worth mentioning.

Anyone?

Dave,
I have 5 of Doug's bowl gouges in ash handles (I like wood handles) Those are hands down the best gouges on the market for the money. Doug is also a friend of mine from another forum & he's a FANTASTIC person to do business with. I'm just a very satisfied customer.


A little off topic On this other forum "WoodTurner's Resource" we have another member who makes carbide turning tool here is a link to his web site & his "Youtube" videos.

Again I am another very satisfied customer. Craig is a excellent person to deal with just like Doug Thompson. 2 People who I plan on getting both of their whole line of tools & their both excellent turners.
