Handles

I designed these tool handles for use with gouges and hollowing tools. The special cushioned grip material is very durable and attractive. They are the most comfortable handles I have used. Each handle has a 3/4” opening. An adaptor comes with the 12" and 18" and is optional with the 23” and armbrace handles. (Additional adaptors are available upon request.)

armbrace handle

This armbrace is lighter than other armbrace handles. The special shape is more comfortable for different arm lengths. It is particularly effective with short bed lathes. The lathe spindle should be elbow height or slightly above for optimal benefit with this handle. Optional 3/8”, 1/2” and 5/8” adaptors are available for this tool.

ARMBRACE HANDLE $80.00

3/8" TOOLS OR A SMALL GOUGE WORKS WELL IN THE 12" BLUE HANDLE

12" BLUE HANDLE $40.00

The blue handle works well with gouges or the 3/8" hollowing tools

The red handle is ideal for use with the small (1/2") hollowing set and also works well with a bowl gouge for turning the outside of a piece. (I often prefer the shorter blue handle with some of the work that I do.)

1/2" TOOLS OR A GOUGE WORK WELL IN THE 18" RED HANDLE

18" RED HANDLE $50.00

SOME PREFER THE 23" BLACK HANDLE FOR THEIR LARGE HOLLOWING TOOLS
