carbide tipped Lathe tools
Here's first attempt at being a cheapskate, Laminated Marine ply/Oak, and Karri/Oak handles (all in the process of being made at present), 12mm sq stainless bar stock, 1 square head, 1 roundhead, 1 detail diamond head.

here's 2 before and after shots, with side by side. after filing out the pits, then it was 2 hours in a seat running through the grades of wet/dry 180/240/360/400/800/1200 and a tub of water with dishwashing liquid in recommended by a friend, good advice. there are a few small floors so once the other 2 are ground for cutting tips, I will go back to 400/600/800/1200, then finish off with 1500 and a buff. I just hope the handles come out as nice.

One more handle for the collection, cutting head yet to be inserted.. timbers used in this one are, Karri, Tas Oak, African Ash, Vic Ash, Zebra wood, Jarrah, silky oak, oh and a store gift card just for sh-ts and giggles.
