Title: how long is your tool?
Post by: thebowlerhattedturner on February 03, 2013, 02:44:16 PM

So here is an interesting question,
      What is the longest turning tool that you use and how long is it? and how about the shortest aswell?

I've got some homemade Orland type tools which are 20" long without a handle fitted, well over 30" with the Kelton handle I made them to fit. They are probably my longest.

Shortest, that would be a skew I made from a carving tool, the blade is probably just over 3" long, about 8" with handle. It has an 1/8" wide blade.
