Re: Dockyard Gouges

I feel the handles are, well functional. I've small hands but find these tools far from comfortable and a few came slack..
Good idea do you have a pattern I can use?
Thanks

Mark,

As always I catch myself staring and mumbling to myself when looking at your work.

Great idea, super great faces, two bloody thumbs up!

I'll have to find info on how you guys make your own handles and fit them sturdy enough to carve with.

Re: Dockyard Gouges

Thanks everyone, but the idea is really the works of Steve Brown. he sells the patterns along with a go-by for some ideas, i found it best to just let youe imagination go on these.Tony yes i did epoxy them in, hope this answers your question John.Steve's website is Steve Brown Woodcarving he doesn't have them on his site, but he used to sell a kit on how to make the handle.

Re: Dockyard Gouges

Mark, great job and thanks for the plug. I do have handle kits. The kit will make 6 handles and includes 6 patterns. I have just finished recording a DVD on carving tool handles with CarvingVideos.com. It should be available in the next couple of months. If you haven't already, check out my web site.
