Restoring and Sharpening an In-cannel Gouge - Hand Tool Woodworking

- In this video I demonstrate my process for taking an antique in-cannel gouge and putting it back into regular use. I clean, rehandle, grind a new bevel, and sharpen it to shaving sharp. I also demonstrate the usefulness of this under appreciated tool.

Wow, I have used in-cannel gouges for a long time, and I still learned several great things from this video. Great job! I love your tool rest idea.
Great video. Funny, I restored one of these gouges yesterday and came across this video today by chance. Was a wreck, made a new handle, heated and straightened the tank and she cuts on the lathe better than any other tool I have. Already turned 4 table legs with it in its first day of renewed use.
I think you probably have an out-cannel gouge (bevel on the outside of the curve). You wouldn’t want to use an in-cannel gouge on a lathe. It would do nothing but catch because you can’t ride the bevel. In-cannel gouges are for hand work only. They shouldn’t be used on a lathe.
@@BRFineWoodworking Yes, I was referring to the markings and style of the gouge. Mine says W. Butcher Cast Steel, and has the same hilt shape as yours so far as I can tell.
👍🏻 Thought as much. Just wanted to make sure that someone that may not know the difference between the two doesn’t try to use an incannel gouge on a lathe. Could result in some disastrous consequences. I agree with you though, sharp cast steel OUTcannel gouges cut super nice on a lathe.
Awesome! Glad I came across this video. Found a socket in-cannel gouge head in the antique store chisel bin the other day, grabbed it without hesitation bearing in mind all of your recommendations for them that I’ve heard and read throughout your podcasts, videos, and articles. I wanted one mainly for hollowing out the insides of shrink pots after making the initial hole with an auger, but new gouges are prohibitively expensive, so I’m very happy about this find and look forward to getting it up and running. Thank you for the restoration and sharpening info, and a Happy New Year to you Bob!
Hey Bob, that's a fantastic restoration. And a great video that clearly shows why you like these tools so much. Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for these in the future at antique stores
Very nice job Bob!
The hardest one to find . Thank you !
Thanks for sharing! I'll be back.
You have done a time comparison of coping saw and rasps and scrapers vs bevel edge chisel and gouge. It would be nice to rub the noses of router template and electric router followers in the time result of making a template and setting up a bit in the router table, attaching the router template and the almost certain chip out of the cove on the long grain side.
Zaujimavé btúsenie.
Splendide !
That feeling when you realize none of your tools are as sharp as you thought
Matthew Buntyn 😂 Just keep honing.
-4cwes, excellent approach to a difficult task
Cool 👍
Can you buy a curved grinding wheel? I can’t find any online
Not that I’ve ever seen. You are going to have to use a wheel dressing tool to shape your own. But it’s not hard. It just takes a few minutes. But it does make a bit of a mess.
Any help with where to find a 1/4” curved grinding wheel?
You have to shape it yourself with a wheel dressing tool.
Actual sharpening and restoration starts around 5:25
That one for sale ?
James Richards It will be eventually. When I have time to list it.
