Well it’s about time you take my advice!! Glad to see your mug in the video!! Really well done explaining ad you go!!

Top notch production mate, from the build through to video, editing and music. Love short to the point build videos...

This is one of your best videos yet. Love the music selection bro!

What a great tool. And those are so expensive to buy. Great project with a great result.

That was awesome. Austin you are making me want to get into some metal working.

Loved the video and seeing you more in it! We enjoyed watching you create the gouge.

That’s something awesome and custom that will last much longer probably that anything you could have bought. Great stuff brother 🙌🏻

You are getting great viewing angles with the new rig 👍

So cool! Why buy a tool when you can make one...especially when you can make one that looks so nice too! Great stuff bud!

you are a very busy bee my man, very nice tool.

Wowers that's definitely cool. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God Bless.

Really cool project, nice job Austin! 👍

These things are the opposite of printers. Where the ink is what gets you. Companies charge $200 for a handle then $10 for the insert. I think this is going on my project list!

Nice work, as always.

Cool! Now do one to accept the circle inserts. Then send them to me for testing purposes. 😀😀

Thanks for this. I've been watching a bunch of these make your own carbide tool videos. This is one of the better ones. I appreciate the link to the inserts you used, it's easy to get overwhelmed looking at all the different choices on amazon, even more so for Canadians! Trying to figure out if you purposely put a rough final finish on the bar to give the epoxy more grip? It's certainly what I'd be doing.

very nice. bravo.. thank you. see you. be happy

You never stop amazing us. It is amazing how you have make anything instead of purchasing it. We are curious. Do you do such things as a profession or are you self taught??

I might need to try this some how in the future, guages are so expensive lol

Nice build! Why did you switch bits halfway through making the rod round? (metalworking newb over here)

Looks great! Do most lathe tools have epoxied handles? I've noted all of my files have press fit handles (which I have pulled off on occasion, pulling the wrong way with the file). It seems that with a replaceable tip that epoxy is the way to go!

Nice!👍 where do I place my order for High Caliber Custom lathe tools?😉

Make a tool to make a tool. That could make for cool marketing, every gouge is made using the gouge made before it.

Looks good! Am I correct that you use a carbide insert tool on the metal lathe for the metal part of the handle, then another one on the wood lathe? Wait then did you make another handle with the new tool! Toolception?

You used a gouge to make a gouge 🤯
