Title: Lathe Toys
Post by: ghost5 on March 02, 2013, 02:22:12 PM
I know a few folks here turn a bit so I thought I would post these. I had a broken handle on my 1/2" skew so I went out today and turned a new one. This goes along with the two custom carbides I got that needed handles. The carbides are full size and today I got a chance to pick up a set of 3 mini carbides that are on the way so I will be making more handles  *up*. I love me some toys for the shop.
