round skew chisels

I've just made a beauty for silly money -

It came in a week or so.

I bought this one last week for putting a burr on a scraper gouge

and thought that was cheap, including delivery from Hong Kong (how do they do that?), but yours is much bigger and cheaper!

Thanks Phil. Cheaper than Ashley Iles.

Chris. These are HSS whereas yours is tungsten carbide.

Chris. These are HSS whereas yours is tungsten carbide.

Aha! Yep, not thinking straight here. (Feeling less cheated with my £2.71 investment now. ;-) )

I did just that several years back and it is the best skew chisel I have. HSS of course 8) Easy to use, moves easily on the rest and it keeps a good edge.

The ferrule is French 22mm copper pipe. It's great because it is HARD

I got a smaller bit as well and did a triangular point tool. It was a bit of an experiment and it's really good for getting into tight corners and using the face edges as small undercutting shear scrapers.

Mine's a bit different. The first guy at the club I showed it to said the handle was awful, he'd have to change it - and the second picked it up and said what a comortable shape it is. Of course I made it for me, not them.
A nice useful tool for a total cost of about £4

That wasn't the Glos club was it :mrgreen:

It looks good to me and as long as you are happy with then what the hell! =D>

Not to be outdone by Phil's craftsmanship, here's the tool I created for putting a burr on my scraper:

Note the sensitively carved, ergonomic design of the handle.

Another one, this time ground at an angle. Not a perfect cylinder as it's only being turned smaller, but this piece of softwood cut quite nicely (especially as it was done from a wheelchair and half done left handed), and it's a cracker for pommels. I've done another as a small negative rake scraper - that seems to work well - three tools for nine quid can't be bad.

A friend of mine has been badgering me to make him a skewchigouge so Phil's link provided the ideal opportunity

Made a spare while I was at it.
