I just invested $14 for 48in of 1/2 round steel...another $14 for a set of 12 bits and I have my own wood to make the handles so I have 4 gouges for $28 pays to make your own that's for sure

If you grind the small platform on the tool shaft longer than the carbide insert, just place a small drop of CA glue on the platform just before you screw down the cutter. This will keep a square carbide insert from rotating on the insert platform. To release the carbide insert from the platform, just use some heat from a propane torch or butane cigarette lighter. Loosen the insert screw, heat the metal opposite the insert for a few seconds and it should break the bond between the insert and metal handle. This will allow easy changing of insert or rotating it to a new sharp edge. Apply another drop of CA glue and tighten down the screw; you’re ready to go.

I’m curious if anybody knows if this is the same gouge design as the crown Ellsworth gouge?

I was wondering how I wad going to afford those tools! Thanks for the tips!

Unboxing LOL

Thanks man... get idea!

Just back from Axminster tools and come out with a Crown M42 Razor Edge 3/8 bowl gouge .really looking forward to using it tomorrow

Thanks for the video. I am getting my first lathe next week and finding tools very expensive. I have a harbor freight close be this give me a reason to go. Good luck on your health problems.

Can that steel be heat treated to hold an edge as a traditional lathe tool? Why no vise?

I agree with Dirty Curty below... some close ups would have been nice and helpful. A picture is really worth a thousand words in some instances.

Good info.. getting ready to upgrade a 1/2" spindle Gouge. What are your thoughts on the Crown Cryo vs the Crown m42 Cryo? How do you compare these to Sorbys tool? Thx for any and all input

Great advice on how to use non-standard objects for tool making.

THESE ARE WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST GOUGES IV'E EVER USED ... HIGHLY RECOMENDED !! GREAT REVIEW KEN :)

This bowl gouge comes sharpen with ellsworth grind? If dont, you know the set for tormek jig?

very good thank you

You say that you are making cutters , ????????? ,your making handles ,your buying the cutters,,.

Hey please do a how to make a wooden sword video

I'm the kid from Maricopa county fair the hunny dipper

Nice work. Hard to believe that no one I can find sells this type of homemade lathe tool set. I would think that there would be plenty of buyers, just to see if they would enjoy turning before shelling out for the real deal.

Hey Kendall. I like the your idea. I'm getting ready to make some myself. You should try and get close up shots in your videos. Hard to see some of the things you were doing. Just a little advice from one creater to another. Anyway, great idea, great job, and nice video.

Nice job thanks. I’m just getting ready to make some. This is the easiest way I’ve seen. Since I don’t have a lathe making the handles would be a pain. I use a drill to make rings and I want carbide cutters so I don’t have to keep stopping to sharpen.

Hi, I’ve had a terrible time in my area finding the champion set you’re using to drill and tap the hole on the carbide tool. Can you give me the exact specs of that little kit you bought for $7?

Great idea. Going to try this myself. Thank you.

Nice improv w/ the pry bar option. This bar stock can be expensive to order or ship. I love this option. Fantastic !! :) I wish there were close ups of the parts, work being done or at least each finished step. Many times the camera man lost the work material from screen trying to keep your face in frame ? But even when you hold the piece up for inspection by the viewer, it's too distant to really see :( The narration and explanation was great though. Thanks, Sincerely ......................

What website do you order your cutters from?

Very glad your health issues are better. I know how awful that problem is and the pain they cause. Close friend has similar problem.

I foroot, I get the carbide tips from Capt. Eddie. He sells them on his site and they are very good and the price is right. Just enter Capt. Eddie Castelin and his youtube videos will come up.

Our Harbor Freight has a set of three with black and yellow handles. They appear to be very close. One problem I see is that if you turn it on its side to get into a bowl the hole leaves very little metal around it. Does this affect the safety of the tool. I bought them with the intention of making them. I wish your close ups were better. They weren't very close and all we got was a brief out of focused close up. Dark tool metal against a dark colored shirt. Don't mean this in a bad way so I hope you don't take this wrong. Thanks.

Wow I didn't even know this was still out here. I guess I need to start paying attention. Thanks for all the kind comments I appreciate it.

why does the carbide bit need to be recessed, especially the round ones? I can see the need for the square bits but what keeps the round ones from coming loose and rotating? And how does it work when rotating the tool sideways? it will raise the cutter because of the square edge of the tool.

You need to get your cutters from CAPT. EDDIE CASTELIN cheapest price on cutters !!!!!!!

NICE!!! Will be trying that for sure. Who's lathe are you using? Looks like it says Powermatic on the front.

It would be nice to put a link to the carbide cutters. The video was a great help.

Thanks or your video. Good concept. Please get a mask for grinding. Do not want to hear about future health issues from preventable causes.

Kendall, I am trying your advise on making my own tools, got everything you mention except the cutters. Can you tell where you got the cutters, do they have any kind of parts code on them? You mention Global Industries, do they have a parts code for their cutters? I noticed that AZ Carbide also has cutters but I'm not sure what to order so they will fit. Thanks for a great video. Ken at kpb728@att.net

For sure a few close ups would be great; that said, I think this is the best video I have watched on DIY Carbide Turning Tools...

Spent may Super Bowl Sunday at Harbor Freight, on line with AZ Carbide and will make my carbide cutters. Thanks for the help

When you said health issues the first thing I thought is that you got slag in your eyes from cut off wheels as you only put on safety glasses after the cut, like in the video up to 2:06

I've a sneaking suspicion Santa will be bringing me a 3/8" crown cryo m42 gouge this year. Looking forward to it :)

Nice job i'll take a look in Harbor Freight. You should get yourself a vice next time you go there.

This is awesome. But on the site it came to $29 for three bits. Square, diamond and round. Still a really cheap/easy option.

You must be drilling a larger hole than I do. Mine would have broken that tap the way you put it through. I do it on the drill press and use oil and go very slow .

I just made these and they work awesome....thanx for the video ..

Hey Kendall great video, can you mention the size insert I need: Azcarbide is a bit confusing on which one I should buy. Thanks

What size cutters are you using>

Special thanks for the mention of AZ Carbide. I recently purchased the company and would like to have all your continued support . Ron

I Love this bowl. I'm sure you'll agree, nature is one of our best assistants in wood turning. (the music is not my cup of tea !)

It's simple, Just go to WoodPriX page - and enter the Eco World.

This is the best video about carbide woodworking tools. Can you please tell me: are these carbide bits specially for woodworking, or any round or square carbide bits will do?

Great great video!! Carbide ordered, Waiting for a pry bar sale. Many Thanks Ken for this very useful tip!
