As usual this project did not turn out how I envisioned it! I have retired, moved house and downsized my sanctuary (shed), since I last posted a project.
It started with these HSS blanks on Ebay. They were less than £3.00 each. So after cutting one in half, I ground up these tools (more on the grinder in a later post.)
As you can see for, 80% of the work I do on the lathe in either steel or brass one these two tools are my first choice an save me scrabbling about in the box of previously made tools.
