I'm shocked at the state of those chisels Dave. All of my turning chisels look brand new, like they've never been used.
OK, they are brand new, never used. I'll get a lathe going soon.
The gouge has come up very nice. What's next?

Bring them down here - I'll get them dirty, scratched, nicked and with rust on them - I reckon my shed has some sort of rust enhancing powers

Have you got many turning tools if so this is going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOONG thread

Second chisel looking good by the way

most of my chisels are in this rack but there is probably another dozen



there is 25 chisels give or take

Is this the shavings on the floor - how deep?

Yeah it is. I can't take credit for it all. I had some bagged, enough to fill a 44. The rest is mine. My cave is over a slab with three different levels and a couple of trenches where there was brick work. Deepest area is maybe 4 or 5". Ave is about 1". I have made enough of my own to cover the 6 x 2.8 m area in the last few months bit only a thin covering.

It is warm and user friendly. Knocked my iPad for a 6 and it just bounced. Have not chipped a dropped chisel yet.

Man, those ferrules are a mess on that rack.

What the heck is attached to the back of that lathe? A finger slicer?
