Your first set of tools.

This is our recommended set of seven high speed steel tools made for us specially by Henry Taylor in Sheffield. It received a "best on test" award from Good Woodworking Mag when compared with other starter sets at a similar price.

What the set includes
This set has been selected as giving best value and excellent design, finish and edge keeping quality in a starter set. It will appeal to people who know that good tools in any trade are a joy to use and cheap nasty tools are a pain. The blades are finest quality Sheffield M2 high speed steel, shaped, hardened, finished and polished to the highest standards. They are just as good as top-of-the-range Henry Taylor branded blades which are of course second to none. The handles are designed and fitted by us. Our handles are a little longer (11") than the normal Henry Taylor handles and are from stained beech.

1. 3/4" roughing out gouge for taking square section down to round and shaping the main profile.
2. 3/8" spindle gouge for finishing off details between centres.
3. 3/8" beading tool for vee cuts, beading, cleaning up end grain, cutting into corners and grooves plus many other odd cuts. Used in the same way as the skew chisel but is not as demanding.
4. 3mm Extra long parting tool for cutting grooves, parting off and doing small beads etc.
5. 3/8" superflute profile bowl gouge for shaping bowls inside and out.
6. 3/4" extra thick strong round end scraper for taking out gouge marks inside bowls and for hollowing goblets and vase forms.
7. 1" square end scraper for getting rid of gouge marks on the outside of bowls and for hollowing square bottom holes in for example a turned container.

The set will satisfy most woodturners for many years of turning and will do just about every woodturning cut.
You might consider a 1" oval skew chisel to add to the set. It is available with matching handle for an extra £16.
