I make mine out of old baseball bats I pickup at yard sales. They are tough and have a beautiful finish. They only cost a couple of bucks too ! Love your video's and I'm a subscriber. Thanks for the video !!!
Hey Cap, hope you're feeling better. Great to see you on the tube again! Great vid on making a handle. You really explain the process well. Thanks again and take good care....... now it's time to make some shavings!!
Hey Capn, Happy New Year! Enjoyed your video, interesting and inventive use of materials, I like that very much. Thanx for sharing all your ideas and insights, really appreciate you taking the time and effort. Touch Down Capn. Eddie!!! (btw I think it is tendon)
Hey Cap, I just bought keystock and carbide cutters to give to my sister in Lafayette for Christmas. I didn't know your videos then or I would have bought them from you. I'll let her know about your shop in case she needs more. I'm planning to make several tools some for her and some for me--but I have one complaint--that handle Cap, it's cocobolo. You don't paint cocobolo with red ink. It's an oily wood but it's beautiful, put on a marine varnish to protect it from UV and leave it alone, it's a beautiful wood.
Thanks for the video, Plus the words about these shows with all the Bleeps. Its unreal how this is normal life for so many these days. I will be making a few handles like that soon, Wonder how good this hickory would work for handles? I can get a lot of it, Being there's a Sledge Hammer handle mill near by LOL. Happy New Year may all your turning be good in 2012.
HI Capn Eddie and San Diego thanks you and the saints doing well and you are welcome any time you need some more foot ball players. BTW nice job on the handle
@capneddie Just keep on doing things just how you do. You do a great job, and I personally don't care what you call anything, the content is awesome and that is why I watch your videos.
eddie I just received 3 15mm cutters from you and made handles for two of them and they are sharp,,,and I mean sharp,,,and the handles look ok too,,lol
HI' CAP'N, THAT WAS A VERY NEAT HANDLE YOU JUST MADE, I HAVE LIKED WATCHING YOUR VIDIOS, BUT CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US AT EVERY STAGE WHAT TOOL YOU ARE USING REGARDS MAX AUST.
Just came back to watch this one again, Cap. I plan on getting a couple of square bars from you and just wanted to refresh my memory on making handles. Did I ever tell you how much my shop resembles your shop in terms of organization?
I wish I had admirers who would send me big pieces of cocobolo timber. As a possible grip on the tail stock chuck, try some off cuts of industrial rubber hose with a thick wall 3/8 - 1/2 inch thick.You would need to press it on, you would have trouble doing it by hand. With the increase in diameter you will get great increase in power you can apply and the canvas around the outside of those hoses gives great grip
Hey Captain Ed hello from 🇨🇦. I truly enjoy and appreciate your videos. I am just curious about one thing. In regards to turning down the copper fitting, does it hurt the standard lathe tools? Can you use a circle carbide tool on the copper or will it dull the tools? Thanks for your time
Hay Eddie your video intros are getting pretty flash mate. Your becoming a bit of a multi. Media guru! BTW. Great cocobollo tool handle and a most invasive use of a tapered gas flange nut! Looks very spiffy and creates a clean line to the finish of the tool! Keep makin shavins and don't let the wood grubs chew on your wooden leg!
If I am going to be getting a 3/8" bar, the hole in the handle should be no more than 1/2" Diameter correct? Love the stain idea, but I think in my case I'd use a regular wood stain, unless I use red/white/blue paint, but I don't like painting wood :) Yes I'm weird.
Those ends you put on are called Brass Rod Flare Nut here in Canada at Home Hardware, and Home Depot calls them Brass Short Rod Nut. I totally agree with your comment on "reality TV", I like the content of a lot of those shows but the drama and language used is so infantile.
You are a far better woodworker than I am, judging by your videos, but in all my years of woodworking I have never heard anybody call it a tendon. There is no such thing as a "tendon saw" or a "mortise and tendon" (even though I see it is misspelled elsewhere). Please, I accept your superior knowledge of woodworking, can you not accept others' superior knowledge of English? Victorian manuals did not have spell-checkers.
@9inety9 Actually, if you look in the old books and literature from back when Captain Eddie was learning to turn, it was referred to as a TENDON! Or, you could call it a spigot, tenon, nipple, or that friggin piece of wood you tighten the chuck on! Really, WHO CARES!?!?! Any way, if it bothers you that much that you take the time to comment on it, you live a sad and boring life, my friend. Me, I have better thing to do than correct a grown man's grammar. Like turn wood!
Cap. no disrespect, but tendons are cartilage that connects muscle tissue to bone. Tenons are what you are making are used in wood working, If you read tendon in a book that guy needed a better prof reader. I am a big fan of yours, please don't be offended, but stop with the tendons, wood turners are smarter than that. Thanks.
I just turned 4 handles for the tool shafts that you sent us. They look great and should be ready for making more shaving tomorrow. Thanks so much.

Yet another great project thanks Capn
Nice one Capn. Happy New Year from across the pond
Great looking handle. Fix'n to make three of my own. Thanks for the red dye tip. Love it.
Hey Cap, hope you're feeling better. Great to see you on the tube again! Great vid on making a handle. You really explain the process well. Thanks again and take good care....... now it's time to make some shavings!!
Hi capt, I really enjoy your videos, maybe that red dye look nice with my ash handle mmmmm thanks for that idea. Keep up the good work
Great video Eddie. I made one (my first) and did it just like you did and it turned out great. Thanks for all your help!

I think I'm going to enjoy watching all your films! Novice turner on the way =)
love it, makes me want to get in the shop
Great vid.Captn.
eddie I just received 3 15mm cutters from you and made handles for two of them and they are sharp,,,and I mean sharp,,,and the handles look ok too,,lol

could you use food coloring instead of ink to stain the wood???
How much wood you charge to make me a handle like this out of a common hardwood. Like ash oak or cherry?
I also love your comment about reality TV!!!!!
Guys, Please, I'll call it whatever you want. We did this a long time ago and found an Audel's book of woodcraft that called it by both terms.
is there any epoxy or super glue to hold onto the brass thing on the end?
I subscrib thank you cap Eddie
cool
Thanks Cap't just got the tools ( 7/15) Now for the handles
Why would you put red ink on one of the most beautiful woods in the world?
Those ends you put on are called Brass Rod Flare Nut here in Canada at Home Hardware, and Home Depot calls them Brass Short Rod Nut.
I totally agree with your comment on "reality TV", I like the content of a lot of those shows but the drama and language used is so infantile.
It's "tenon" not "tendon" fyi.
Innovative use that should have been. Not invasive!
Once again - nice one!
I've sent an email - if and when you have time :)

Ruaidhrí
Tenon not tendon!
@kenny474 whoops, fail.lol
Never mind, I just watched Glue Block Basics. I'll just go and stand in the corner and dribble, OK?
.
Peace
Cap'n, why would you do that to cocobolo? The beauty of the wood is now covered up. Its like painting walnut.
@kenny474 *Anyway*

@9inety9 Anywahere, where are all your videos demonstrating all your skills and and perfect grammar? Oh, you don't have any.......
*Tendon:* tendonstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Tendon_Structure.jpg *Tenon:* patwarner.com/images/index_tenon.jpg
tenon not tendon fron an ole carpenter
Yah :D Tendons hold muscle to bones.
Cap. no disrespect, but tendons are cartilage that connects muscle tissue to bone. Tenons are what you are making are used in wood working, If you read tendon in a book that guy needed a better prof reader. I am a big fan of yours, please don't be offended, but stop with the tendons, wood turners are smarter than that. Thanks.
Proof reader not prof reader
I wish people would send me free $100 pieces of wood from which to make tool handles!
