I have a PM1236 metal lathe and have been compulsively making wood handles for; files, bolt rifles, and chisels. Maybe 300 handles from 30 kinds of wood. African Blackwood is my favorite. Yorkshire grit is a real short cut for finish. Annular end mills are a shortcut for getting one end of the wood round.
Wearing of those gloves will cause serious injury. 30 years a machines. 8 and a half fingers. i never wore gloves. i could not imagine loosing an arm. really and unnecessary risk.
Super clean. Well done.
Definitely a machinist
The restoration turnout beautifully the brass pieces with walnut seems to work well too! I really enjoy watching your projects.
That WAS different, and way cool too. Beautiful work!
Hey thanks Jim!
Great design
This is a clever solution. And beautifully filmed!
Thanks Dave, glad you liked it. I haven't seen one made (factory made) in this manner or anyone else make one this way.
