Thread: The ultimate turning tool?

Well now Frank or Ernest Or is it Mischievous I for one have enjoyed your inputs to this forum and we The other forumites are going to be the poorer at your loss I like the tool and the pics and will have to try that Cheers in what you take on to replace what you give up but hope you come back now and again WW Wally

Real sorry to hear that you are leaving us Frank. Your contributions to the forum have always been valued by me.

Understand that you have to give priority to whatever is most important to you. Life is just too short and valuable to muck about getting to what really matters to you. I'm sure you will do well in whatever endeavours you choose.

But, I'm most disappointed that you will not going into turning tool production ....my Frank Mk1 is working a treat....

Thanks and good luck!

Well.... this thread on 'The ultimate turning tool', is Frank's Mk2, coz Frank's Mk1, which looked a bit like the Ci1, came first.

Didn't intend to confuse others, but I was a most grateful recipient of one of Frank's Mk1s ...... and thought that at least Frank would get the reference.

So you see, I'm extra sorry that Frank is moving on from woodturning... and turning tool making .

Take care mate, see you around these parts!

I did understand the contents of you other post, as I understand what you mean on this one. What got me confused was the name you used to identify Frank's tools, I didn't know that they had a name. When the Ci1 discussions initiated and the copies started to emerge, I didn't wanted people to get confused about the original and our copies, and was when I decide to give it some other name (SIT) Square Insert Tool, just for this purpose, as I couldn't thing of any other better name for it at the time. I think that Frank did come up with a good name for his tools, and now I know what they mean, still not know what (Mk) stands for! Do you?

Hi George - just my shorthand name for the tools, not Frank's. See following definition 7.c. for dictionary definition:

Examples:

Lee Enfield Rifle No.4 Mrk I
Triton Workcentre Mk3

I was not attempting to give the tools a new name, just trying to differentiate tool 1 from tool 2. Hope that clears that up...
