    Default Chisel handles for bulk buy.

    We have started doing the handles for the bench chisels. Pictorial here: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f152/p...ml#post1616438

    Pretty slick set of jigs and fixtures. How many are you going to make for the first edition? What is the nice lathe you are using?
    So much timber, so little time.

    We are doing 171 all together.

    The lathe that they were drilled on is "Walter", a Wadkin Bursgreen. The turning is done on a Teknatool 3000 fitted with a variable speed.

    I'm having trouble seeing 171 as a understandable number - so I give up, how or why did you get to 171 please?

    These are handles for the group buy/manufacture. Not everyone wanted handles supplied. Some prefer to make their own. 171 chisels were ordered c/w handles.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    I think this is the Wadkin you were given and refurbished? Or do you have Wadkins lying about like paper cups outside a fast food joint?

    No, that one is Angus, still a work in progress when I get the time.

    Only have 2 Wadkins but after a RU to complete the trifecta.

    ,

    So as not to hijack this thread more than I have, you may wish to move this.

    I have not seen a real live Wadkin, but they look to be very good stout lathes.

    Have you seen these?

    Wadkin - Wadkin Library - 219

    This is a wonderful site for machinery: Lathes

    An RU for sale here:

    Wadkin R.U. Patternmaker's woodturning lathe | eBay

    $1360.00 RU: Peerless Aluminum Foundry, Bridgeport, CT « www.owwm.net

    Both a long way from AU.
