Turning Cutlery Handles
Hi All Woodturners,
I have been reading your posts for sometime now and decided to join the forum as a result of the excellent advice provided.
I have a question re fitting of cutlery handles, how are the turned handles secured to the shaft of the piece?
Thanks for your help.
Ian

Yep, I use yellow glue for cutlery type stuff, but black 2 part araldite for turning tool handles.
When doing cutlery I stand the drying pieces, blade up, in rolled up exercise bandages that I use on the horses. They are made from polar fleece so very soft, about 15cm in diameter when rolled and have lots of layers meaning you can have many drying in different layers at the same time!

fitting anles to cutlery
If the cutlery has a flat piece larger than the shaft you can use a ground down hacksaw blade or jig saw blade to cut grooves for the "wings" to fit into, preventing them turning.
That should be Handles not anles, must be christmas or somethng

I friction fit them.... like I would any other too handle......undersize hole & hit em with a hammer
I can see that some epoxy would be helpfull in keeping washing up water out of the works.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
