Nearly worn out my Thompson bowl gouge.
Must be some sort of mile stone. Worn out a tool. But I will soon need another one. Can we get them one shore now?

So found them at http://www.woodworkingsuppliesqld.co...roducts_id=499
But they only have 1/2 inch in U shaped, so might need to order from US. Anyone else need anything from Thompsons?anne-maria.

new gouge
Hi Tl, I have just purshased the 3/8" and 1/2" jimmy clewes Vee Gouges, really like them, for what that's worth. Purchased from SE Queensland woodturning supplies ( excellent service). I could bring them over and you could have a play, Live just down the road. Jay.

Try the vicmarc one I think it's the same steel they hold a good edge and there on par with price with most of the other brands
If you want Thompson I'd email Doug he's happy to send to Australia
theres been talk about a bulk order and Doug is happy for the forum to do another order no problemsDANGER!!!!I'm Dyslexic Spelling may offend!!!!!

This bowl gouge is maybe 5 years old. (Now sharpening with a CBN wheel bit I don't think that's the problem. I just been using it. :P
I guess I'll have a look at Vicmarc. Its just that i want the "V" shaped gouge not the parabolic flute. I actually use it more for spindle turning and facing off the end off boxes. Seems to work better if it is "v".anne-maria.

jimmy clewes gouges
Hi TL, The Jimmy Clewes gouges I mentioned in my earlier post are made by Thompson and the 1/2 is similar to the Thompson, the vee is maybe a little deeper. I would be happy to bring them over for you to have a look at them. Jay

Ditto. I bought a couple of Kryos in the last(? first?) Thompson bulk buy - a 3/8" and a 1/2" - and although I've 'saved' the 3/8" for finishing cuts I've worn the 1/2" down a ridonkulous amount.
So I'm looking for a replacement for that... and a 1/2" (or mebbe a 3/8") v-flute for the same reasons you are!
Another forum bulk-buy is sounding pretty good to me right now.

The Thompson web page reckons that 5 bowl gouges can be shipped for $14.95. I might go a 1/2 and a 5/8th "V".
International orders please contact me before placing a order.
3/8 & 1/2 (up to 5 total) diameter tools can be shipped world wide for $14.95 USD
5/8 & 3/4 diameter tools, shipping cost world wide is $44.95 USD (up to 15 in this box)anne-maria.

Doug is a great bloke and makes a fantastic range of tools.
The Thompsons & the Clewes versions are available from David at SE Qld Woodworking supplies @ the same price as Doug sells them for. If you know someone going to Turnfest they could bring them back for you for nicks.

OK. David has 1/2 inch "v" shaped in the jimmy version but not the normal version. $77. pondering.
So can someone post a pick of their Jimmy Clews bowl gouge? How much deeper is the "V"? How much steel is left under it? Part of the problem with the P&Ns is not enough steel at the bottom makes is hard to sharpen to a nice profile.anne-maria.
