    Typical isn't it David, you go and buy a brand new Stubby and within a month there's been 2 for sale

    Fair dinkum mate I reckon this proves you don't have to be dead to be stiff. I know you looked around for ages before you took the plunge and bought the Stubby, any way, judging by the prices they're fetching you've made a good investment.
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    Calm, I wouldn't be having second thoughts about your new lathe. If there's going to be a problem, including the electrics, at least you have warranty.

    Cold up here today. Must get out in the shed and light the fire.

    You could put two S1000s end to end and turn something humongous. Dual drive.

    Ernie the milkman, you're always welcome.

    I've been trying to turn a little lidded box today - half way done. I don't know what's harder to work - redgum or blackwood. Damn pickout. Technical flaws no doubt don't help.

    And so sorry, David, I haven't tackled any of the blackwood you so kindly gave me. Still haven't finished the redgum platter either!

    A busy week ahead. is trying (quite hard I might add) that I don't need an Ellworth Signature Gouge. Crown I think make one in the super-hard steel, so I may just buy one. What's another $300 after probably $8K in investment? I turn mostly redgum and the trips back to the grinder / Tormek between cuts is annoying.

    Damn cold here. 12 degrees and I've got the fire going hard in the shed.

    I might have a little nap and get back into it.

    Jeff

    Jeff, you are not to read the following you have enough tools to qualify for the junkie trophy.

    As the aussie buck creeps back in the direction of parity with the greenback we can start again to consider tools like these http://www.thompsonlathetools.com/products.asp . Both cryo and A-11 steel so the relatively high abrasion resistance is good to deal with our woods.

    The 5/8" V flute bowl gouge is very similar to the Ellsworth Sig Gouge.
    Cheers, Ern

    But the Elsworth has a beautiful parabolic curve. Not the same as "V" or "U". can't get the same profile at all. My life just won't be worth living till I get one. Course, it will be worth more than what the rest of my tools cost me put together. Just call me "Super Scrounger".

    Tea Lady, be careful. Otherwise the Tool Police will be onto you. AKA .

    What's so wrong with collecting turning tools that you use so infrequently?
