Was last week in Barnstaple England, and had a free day for shopping.
Runs against a toolshop, so let's take a look inside.
A lot of handtools, and yes also woodturning tools.
Saw a box with 5 Crown woodturning tools for the price of 100 pond, is about 125 euro. If I have to order this tools in Holland, I can get this tools in Holland only by order this tools via the internet and than they cost me three times the price as I payed for in England. No wonder I bought this box with Crown woodturning tools, and my shopping day was a lucky day.

Is the first gouge in that box a spindle or a bowl gouge?
Either way, it looks like a good general selection of tools - unlike some boxed sets :rolleyes: - and at 1/3 the price well worth a gloat! :2tsup:

Oh yeah Ed, while visiting the Eden Project, I saw a lot of interesting turningwood.
But this was only look at it, not cut in down, as this last came up in my mind.
Guess if I did they put me in jail...))

Skew, the first is a spindle gouge, further, a roughing gouge, a skew, parting tool and a beading tool
Use them already, good stuff.
