Description
Throughout my journey in woodturning, wooden handles were my go-to for all my tools. However, my perspective shifted dramatically when I started using the Thompson Tool Handle. It quickly became my second love, right after my wife, Dori (just a little woodturning humor for you). The versatility and convenience of being able to remove the handle have been game-changers for me.
Why the Thompson Handle Stands Out:
- Ease of Sharpening: The removable handle feature simplifies the sharpening process. No more awkward angles or cumbersome tool handling; just remove the handle and sharpen with ease.
- Versatile Sheer Scraping: Working on hollow forms can be challenging, especially when the lathe’s bed or headstock obstructs the sheer scraping path. Removing the handle allows for unimpeded motion, making sheer scraping a breeze.
- Customizable Weight: I’ve always leaned towards lighter tools for better control and less fatigue. With the Thompson handle, I can remove the steel shot added by Doug Thompson to achieve the perfect balance for my turning style.
Designed to fit all 5/8 inch diameter tools, the Thompson handle is a testament to adaptability in the workshop. For those with tools of varying diameters, worry not—adapters are readily available, ensuring that your entire toolkit can benefit from the Thompson handle’s ergonomic design and versatility.
The Woodturning Tool Handle Makes a Difference
Switching to the 16 Inch Thompson Tool Handle not only elevates your woodturning experience but also introduces a level of flexibility and comfort previously unattainable with traditional wooden handles. Whether it’s the ease of tool maintenance, the adaptability to different turning scenarios, or the ability to customize the tool’s weight, the Thompson handle is a revolutionary addition to any woodturner’s arsenal.
