- In this "Woodturning Tips" video Sam poses a simple question: Do you make a particular tool or do you buy it? He shows off several tools he has either made or simply put together with a shop made handle. Sam Is NOW....painting the inside of his new shop. Moving in is the next item on the list!
I am now an authorized Robust Lathe dealer. Please contact me if you have any questions.

I really enjoy your videos. They have taught me an incredible amount of knowledge. I enjoy your humor and Wyoming is one of my favorite places. I am originally from Colorado and moved to British Columbia Canada in 1972. I built my log house from my own trees and was an accomplished woodworker until I retired and bought my first lathe. I haven't looked back and realize that I'd been missing my calling. I watch a lot of videos by yourself, Mike Peace and Phil Anderson at Shady Acres Woodshop. I love natural edge bowls and just finished a few live edge black walnut bowls from wood given by my neighbor. I learned today how to make my own 2mm parting tool and I thank you very much. Keep up the good work and I'll be watching for more tips and tricks.
Sam, thanks for putting this video out there. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years, and I really appreciate and prefer your personal style of videos. I have learned A LOT!
Great info, as usual! Thanks for sharing Sam!
Take care, Dave
You always have so much good info to share...thanks!
Great video idea. I’m going to make a parting tool today. Thanks as always !!!
Great video Sam. It really got me thinking about making a few tools for turning. I’m just starting out and have been somewhat discouraged by some of the prices of things i want. You showed a few examples of tools you’ve made that I’ve been wanting. Like you I’m not looking at making gouges but there are some tools you showed that wouldn’t take a lot of time. Thanks.
Thanks Sam. I'm surprised how many tools can be DIY made. I have made several of my tools, but still I have many store bought tools that I could have /should have made myself. I need to keep this video in mind for the future.
Totally agree - I asked you what texture tool I should/could start out with and you recommended the sorby and then you told me to make my own handle and I did (got to use my fluting jig) - Sam it came out very nice and half of the tool is all mine - THE point is we own lathes and making tool handles is good practice and give one pride while saving a few dollars (for the next tool - lol)
Good tips, think I'll try making a few .
Thanks, good job on the video
I don't make gouges because to do it properly I'd need special tools, but skews and parting tools I kinda refuse to buy because I can make exactly what I need in, at most, a couple of hours for just a few bucks of materials.
If you're going to make tools an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel and grinding wheel is very versatile, and a belt sander is handy for refining an edge before moving to stones.
great video really it is . i think that like you pointed out in this video all through it there are some tools you can make . how ever when it comes to safety i also think you should buy some from pros who have been doing it for many years and know what will work and what wont . yes im a cheap old man but sometimes you have to know when its best and cheaper to pay the money . thanks sam
Sam, making certain tools to the desired size and weight, and with the preferred style of handle can be satisfying. I have worked with HSS, but agree with you that it is better to buy. My thinnest parting tool is a refashioned kitchen vegetable knife, about 1.25mm, and is very successful. Right now I recall making a matched set of 5 carbide tipped tools (each of appropriate size), a 2 in 1 thread chaser (12tpi) from a cut down firmer chisel, and my own scratch awl.
A small wire coat hanger with a spliced and graduated cross arm on the open side has enough spring to make a good thickness gauge for hollow work; and one can replace the hook with a wooden handle for neatness. Draw bars, pen mandrels and extra banjos are easily made, and building more elaborate jigs and appliances can save a lot of money, though at the expense of valuable play time. Bernard.
Great tips Sam. For real small tools like hollowing inside a bird houses I use allen wrenches.
very informative
Nice video 👍 one day would like to make my tools
I need to make a slotted bar holder for my SOrby micro texturing too so I do not need to swap out spiraling wheels.
Some excellent, useful info ... just one word of caution: If you are using CBN wheels to sharpen your tools, make sure the steel you are using to make your tool is HSS and appropriate for CBN. Carbon steel can damage your wheels.
Great tips here, Sam--Thanks for sharing. I hope your migration to your new shop can happen before much more snow hits you folks. Please, however, leave the pegboard in your old garage. While it might be a nice white background, I think the 57,000,000,000 holes are too distracting and the imprecise location and alignment of the hanging tools just makes it worse......And,...... I hate pegboard. I would think that 3 or 4 sheets of light birch or maple plywood, with a clear coat of matte lacquer or poly finish would give you a nice "woodsie" backdrop and allow you to make some good quality tool holders that can be aligned easily and screwed in place.
OK..... off to liberate that dull recip blade from the Sawzall and make my own Angelo-style micro parting tool.
You're quite right about not making tools from files. My home-made scraper worked beautifully until it spectacularly snapped, fortunately inside a bowl which contained the broken bit. I won't go there again
I'm amazed at how much I use my homemade 3-facet point tool like yours. I made mine out of the smooth end of a long drill bit. The threaded portion I made into a handled drill (another homemade lathe tool). If you look for a 'feeler bit' drill bit they usually have a long shank,
Great video Sam, now show us how that chatter tool works.
have made all my lathe tools by hand. bladesmith why not
I only buy if i can't cobble something together that works!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Was hoping to make a scraper out of an old file.
If you get a bad catch it CAN break....I have done it. Not a good idea. Making a scraper would be easy. Just fine a piece of HSS steel that would be the right size you need.
Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER yea thats true. Not too expensive either
While your were talking about the tools I notice your peg board metal hooks. I tired of them falling off when you remove a tool so I switch to a product made by Talon Hooks. No longer a problem, just thought I mention.
Antonio Castillo Thanks very much Antonio, I will definitely check these out as I have the same issue. But I do like the pegboard for hanging stuff thanks again later SAM
Great video tips Sam.
Good show Sam, just keep that mild steel away from your CBD wheels!
2024, No such thing as a local Hardware store anymore. it's all big box stores now, with NO personal service.
L make all my tools.
L?
Some good ideas, but it is a horrible video. Screens moving all over the place, multiple split screens for no reason...
Something must be wrong on your end, non of that happening.
Imager, I agree to at least to some degree. I used two cameras and really got carried away in editing. Thanks for stepping up and letting me know how it looked. Sam
Horrible is a bit harsh. I had no problem with the video, Sam.
