Shout out to Robo Hippy!

[Barry Larson]

Just want to thank Robo Hippy for his video on creating tool handles using laminated blanks precut for the tool shank. I just finished up 3 for some unhandled carbide tools I purchased from Kilian Tool. The technique worked perfectly and the handles turned out great - IMHO . I used some white ash that I had on hand. They just need some oil to finish. Can't wait to try the handles and the tools!
Thanks again!
Be safe and stay well.

Robos videos are all good.

Agree! I picked on this particular video because I found it at exactly the right time - instead of after I attempt to do something!
Cheers,

I've got a couple laminated handles in process using Reed's recommended method, though they're for shotshell reloaders rather than turning tools.

Now oiled up ready for use. Picture includes the Robert Sordby handles I shamelessly copied (bottom) and an example of a handle I made about 40 years ago (top)!
Cheers, Barry
