Scribing Gouges On Axminster

[pollys13]

I saw this set on Axminster the other night. Would welcome peoples opinions or if could get better elsewhere, though not at a prohibitive cost?
VICTOR IN-CANNEL GOUGE SET Code: 200638

Unless you want them pretty and shiny I'd opt for some second hand ones. 80 quid seems alot. I mainly use a 3/8 gouge. Occasionally slightly smaller, occasionally slightly bigger but generally 3/8 does most door/window moulds.

Like Coley said!

But at least they are proper tools, made in Sheffield.

(The description is a bit odd - further evidence that tool sellers don't always understand the tools they sell. Does this make sense to anyone? "These gouges are used for such specialist work as scribing the shoulders of tenons formed on round components, chair legs for example. ")

The Victor ones seem OK, I looked at them once when I was in the shop. The other choices are http://www.toolnut.co.uk/products/chisels/gouges or second hand. I picked up a full set of seven for not much more second hand but hardly used.

I'm not sure am I going to be needing a metal mitre template?
Or one of these, http://www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-mitre-saddle-202386

Neither of those, unless you want to waste money and have an ornament to look at.

This does the job perfectly

Just took these out the vinegar pot.

I bought these and a few others from the tip, if there of any use pm me your address and you can have them. The vinegar removed alot of rust. Slight pitting on the back but nothing a sharpening stone won't remove. You'd just need to regrind them to incannal

Yes Coley Ive seen the wooden ones.
Duh, so how to I make one?
If bits glued together seems easy enough, out of one piece, perhaps not.
Or one lump cut on the bandsaw?

OK brill,if you think the sizes would be useful. I'll get my skill set going on the lathe I should be able to turn up couple of handles. One of my carving tools books shows how to bash out the tang.Use a bit of 15mm, 22mm copper pipe to make a new ferrule. I'll PayPal you back the postage cost
You'd just need to regrind them to incannal....... Yes....... I think I've read about..... that bit

Only think about remaking the handles if you want them looking pretty. Needless to say they'd work fine as is, unless you dislike the marples branding personally I'd start using them first, then see if you want to change them. You're gonna be busy !!
