Monthly Meeting - Tool Handles

Tool Handles by Ed Larson

Ed will start out by turning an awl.  This simple project demonstrates all the steps required to make a tool handle.  Next he will discuss ferrules and make a ferrule from a copper pipe coupler.  He will then drill a blank, and fit the ferrule for a  1/2 inch  gouge.  Last a 3/8 inch Hosaluk handle insert  will be fitted to a blank.  The Hosaluk handle insert  allows for interchangeable gouges  to be attached to a single handle.

Monthly meetings include a display of members turned items and a raffle.  Guest and members of the public are always welcome. 

A reminder:  The Elks Club serves a single entree meal for under $12 starting at 5:00.  They also have a full service bar.
