Good evening ladies and gentlemen
I have been very busy in the 'Studio' of late, but that will be discussed in other thread.
A very good friend John Scarfe was kind enough to manufacture this TCT cutter for me. The utter was purchased very cheaply in Hong Kong. The stainless steel shaft was a cupboard door handle in a former life, machined down and threaded to accept a small Allen headed screw to hold the TCT cutter in place. John was even kind enough to rough down a piece of sheoak and bore the hole.
All I had to do was shape, finish the handle and glue in the shaft, what a good mate.
I mounted the sheoak between centres and shaped the handle, embellished it with the Robert sorry texturing tool and a little bit of wire burning before coating the handle in mineral oil and wax.
I glued the shaft in with araldite and tested it, bloody lovely, especially on our WA timbers which can be very hard on tools.
Cheers
