we all have a faverite chisel so here is my chalenge to you all

rules:

1. one chisel only

2. you must post a picture of your turning

3. you must tell us what chisel you used (why is optional)

4. no sanding of the peice (i'm interisted in the off the tool finish, as well as form)

5. you may start with round stock

with any luck i'll be able to make this a poll on the closing date 31st of jan so every one can vote

good luck to every one

I only have a rough idea how to use one chisel, so everything I've turned to date is an entry ;)

No, no, no, no, no.... it is on a 2" circular pad in a drill chuck. :D

If you run it & the lathe fast enough, it gives a beautiful suede finish.

The 14" electric one or the 16" petrol one? :D18" petrol...never fails me. Fired it up this arvo - 2 pulls and away it went. Hasn't been started for about 3 months.

Good idea Twinnie, will have a think.

I have my own challenges, like something turning out the same as I intended. :-

Here is a photo of three bottle stoppers I made. Got the idea here. I don't remember who the genius was that put them on the BB but thanks again.:2tsup:

I like to make mine so that they are short enough to fit in the fridge.:D

The left hand one and the middle one were done with a 1" skew chisel and the right hand on was done with a 3/4" spindle gouge.

As per the challenge only one chisel was used for each item.

Sorry about the quality of the photo but my photography is never great.

I know that these are not too challenging to make but they are just about the only thing other than pens that I make using one chisel - usually a skew.

Sorry I missed your closing date. Still going?

I turned these with a 1/2-in hand chisel. Do the drilled holes disqualify?http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?t=42418

I only ever use one chisel... so wheres the challenge? why you ask well cause all the other buggars are as blunt as ol Harry (sorry Harry :q ) and its only the bloody great gouge chisel that is able to tear... eeerr um rip... no thats not it burn? damn cant think of the word I need here :B

Buggar it Ive got a nice 24in Stihl chisel I will arc up hows that? I KNOW THAT SUCKERS SHARP !:2tsup:

Gawd I hope young Dereks coming to the shedmeet :roll: :2tsup:

Skew ChiDAMN!!

Missed this 'un. :(

But thought I'd throw these into the mix: Brown Mallee burl candle holders, turned with just a screwdriver sharpened as a bull-nose scraper. The round shaft also lets you use it for planing cuts, much like a skew.

Bit of fun with some mulga (I think). Been in need of some shed time and read this thread earlier today. So while I was kicking around the shed I thought I'd give it a go. Tool was a 1/2" spindle gouge. Maybe one day I'll make the rest of the set - probably not
