I don't have a lathe, only a drill press and sander. I want to try my hand at making a brush handle so I have rigged up a Mickey Mouse attachment so I can try and turn on the drill press.
Now as to turning tools, I would like to buy just one to be able to get the raw wood into a somewhat round shape so I can begin shaping it with other things, like files, rasps, sand paper, etc.
Rather than just one tool, I see this set advertised for beginners and would like to know if you think it would serve my purpose.
================================
Our pen turners set includes the three tools you need for basic pen turning, a 3/8" spindle gouge, 1/8" parting tool and 1/2" oval skew chisel.
====================================
I have no clue what to get.
thanks
