Manuel-Pagani Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 There is my initiation at tool making: some of the tools I've been made and use in my woodwork shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will W. Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Wow. Looks pretty extensive. Nice work. I really like that hatchet and the curved draw knife directly above it. Those look especially well made. I must ask however... What is the U shaped piece of wood for? To the right of the hatchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel-Pagani Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks it takes a whole month and lot of work too make all these tools to swit my needs. The U shaped tool is for finish hollow surface like bowls, inspired in chair making tool called "scorp" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 That's a very nice collection @Manuel-Pagani -- and that's speaking both as a hobby smith and as a former professional woodworker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, these days I can't tell you who I am because I start working with wood in a luthier shop making guitars and other fine wood instruments an here become my tool making passion,over time mi mind changes and I got carried away by my creativity, whatever I'm doing,I'm doing tools all kind, so if I had to tell I'm a tool maker and a full time craftman who pay his bills with wood and steel. This in my life is my "iron age" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 That's very cool. I apprenticed for a year and a half in a violin repair shop, but ultimately decided it wasn't for me. Still have the knives, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobasaurus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Very nice work. The hatchet and spoon gouge are my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Rondeau Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I really like all of your pieces here and would love more details on how you made them. I'm particularly interested in the scorp, the bowl gouges and most intriguingly the auger bit. I've wondered about that for some time.
