Tungsten carbide cutter and a new chisel
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

First bit of spindle work I've seen from from you for a while! Any chance of a picture of the business end?
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Nice handle. How about a photo of the cutter.
So much timber, so little time.

Great looking weapon!! Can I give you a tip? I would run a texta around the edge of the tungsten......so when the edge that faced the vessel gets worn you can loosen and turn the tungsten to give you a new working edge. Just a thought
Just do it!
Kind regards Rod
