What is the latest tools/equipment that has become a staple in your shop?

I haven’t had many new tools of late, but one that is now a go-to is the Accu-Burr Carbide Burnisher. Of course, I have already modified it (one which FWW have also recommended).

Nice write up Derek. Where did you source the ferrules for your turned wooden handles? Or did you turn them down from round stock?

Hi David

The ferrules are shef support bushes ...



I began using these many years ago when making marking knives ...

Derek,

BRILLIANT!

Thank you for sharing.

And so as not to completely derail this thread....

...My favorite new tools are a Veritas Medium Router plane (just the right size) and I finally bought a few sizes of Lie Nielsen chisels while at Handworks in Iowa (a noticeable and welcome improvement).

Another source for ferrules is copper pipe solder on caps. I've also used compression sleeves from tubing fittings.

These ferrules are 1/2" copper pipe caps. They are also available for 1/4" and 3/8" pipe.

This is a marking knife made from a saw blade. The ferrule is a compression ring from a 1/4" tubing connector.
