Looks more like the result of something nasty or a fit of rage?

The "the chisels are described as used, but my husband died last year and most of them are as new." comment is a worry though. :o

A Henry Taylor too! :cry4:

trying to think what you would use it for?????? back scratcher for the turner who has everything!

[Jonzjob]

Might be useful on very dodgy wood so that you can stand well out of the way :zap::blowup::? :C

It bent??

HT must be using softer steel now.

Could it be a new tool designed for inside out, upside down, left handed hollowing cuts:?

Cheers

Operating on the same principle as a bent gun barrel in cartoons that shoots around a corner ,only it's used for turning corners :doh:

Looking at the enlarged photo of the 45 deg. gouge, I think it would be useful to clean up the inside of a vessel with a small hole in the top. You would get a shearing cut like a bowl gouge rolled over on its side.

I would expect it would be tiring to use as the tool would want to twist.

Bending tools is not difficult. Put in a vise and heat the place where you want it to bend to a dull red and gently pull on the handle. Let cool in place.

I have bent wrenches to remove carburetors with bad acess to the nuts.

On my 'puter, that (45') looks like the symbol for a foot (12 inches). My first reaction was that that is one big gouge :), (but probably just a medium one for 's work). The photos show that it is a 45 degree bend in the tool. I can fill a bucket with catches pretty damm quickly with a normal gouge - using that one I would be even quicker.

Just tried - can do the 450 thing.
