Thread: What type of chisel is this?

Isn’t that info in one of the replies on your 6 chisels posting? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

No this is a new find, about half an hour ago. I bought those other chisels at a market on the weekend. Fresh question!

They be woodturning chisels. For turning wood. Maybe into a wooden leg!! Aaaargh.

(Sorry, just found out it's national speaking like a pirate day, me hearty).

Yes I agree, because it says so on the end of the bloody box.

Geez I'm not that ignorant. The pic of the box of tools was one I found on the net which looked similar to the ones I found. I took a pic of one to compare it to.

There's an old saying, me laddo: if it looks like a parrot, smells like a parrot, and sounds like a parrot, it's a duck, errr, parrot...

What you have there, me old sea dog, is a spindle gouge. Arrrgh.

Gotcha, I just thought I'd ask here to confirm, thanks!

My one is attached

Whats the old saying,"If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck.........."

Is there an echo in here??

Nick, from the pic, it is a gouge. Could you please supply some dimensions. Roughly if it is 200-300mm it would be a carving gouge for hand carving. Above 300mm it probably is a wood turning gouge. At a rough guess it is a "micro" turning tool. Hope this helps

I'm pretty shore he knows there woodturning chisels. I think he wants a more defining description of that particular chisel. Thats all, right ?

I'm new to lathe work. But, I've just been through a book on the subject. From what I've read, its a 'spindle gouge' . Can do all your beads, coves etc...ie. all the flashy turns with just this one chisel.....the most important one, says the book.

.So....no need to get nasty, ....though, it could be fun to watch

So Fugly .....are you just ugly ...or...F****** ugly....or....just a handsome bloke that likes saying 'fugly' ????
