    JB Welded the handle in yesterday and just now took it for a spin. Ended up just shy of 30" overall. All I know is that I can think of one bowl gouge that is going to get pretty lonely around here. That is one awesome tool. Never made a tool before, and it is quite satisfying to do, especially when it performs as well as it does (further yet into the vortex). Regrinding to 80 degree'ish made all the difference. Thanks again to all for the help and ideas. You all are a great group of people

    Back to my metal source next week to get 2 more bars...

    Nicely done.

    I'm a great fan of oland style tools, too. I've made a few myself and have bought a few off other people to add to my collection.

    You'll find that with practice they can hog out very, very quickly, then after a quick touch up on the wheel they can also make fine finishing cuts.

    If I could part off with one, I probably wouldn't have anything else in my tool rack.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
