I made all the handles for my carbide tools. I like to make the wood just slightly bigger than the copper sleeve, then heat the copper sleeve so that it slides over the end of the tool and shrinks as it cools. I've never had one loose or come off.

Lisa I really enjoy your videos. It was wonderful listening to you explaining your process. You voice is so relaxing.

I've made some tool handles too, and know the satisfaction that is achieved. I got added joy from them because I made them from Wattle, a native Australian tree, which I planted, grew and harvested in my own backyard. These handles went onto home made tools, too. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing! I'm wanting to make to custom dovetail tenon scrapper and was debating on making the tang round. This solves that problem!

Hello Lisa, I have received your turned box. Thank you very much for sending me the prize! The box is even more gorgeous in person then seen on the screen, absolutely love it.

Very nice handles. I've made a bunch of my own mostly for homemade carbide tools. Just a simple satisfying project. Fine narration as usual. TY for posting

Nothing better than having homemade tool handles. Can't beat custom handles/tools. Thanks for sharing your take on how to make them. That's the same way I make mine if I have a rectangular shank on the tool. Be careful with that table saw. I suggest using a riving knife on your throat plate. It's really important to prevent kickback. Once you've had a close call, you won't rip without one. A guard is really beneficial too but I can understand not using one for a video demo. Stay safe and happy turning!

If there's ever a competition for pretty tool handles you HAVE to enter these!!!

I'm jealous of your workshop Lisa,very nicely organized good work

Beautiful handles. I should make some for my tools. If you want a heavier handle, drill out the end and fill it with something heavy like sand or lead shot. Turn a cap for the end and glue it on, nice contrast piece.

The Lisa speak was perfectly understandable.

Your gifter has good taste in tools. Jimmy only sells high quality products!

Great Work Ms. Lisa !! They look great!! 👍😁

Beautiful job Lisa! Gonna use this method to re-handle my larger chisels, thanks, Chris

AWESOME JOB ON THE HANDELS THEY LOOKED AMAZING THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO WITH ME SWEETIE I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO WELL TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE PEACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL WOOD TURNING AND TILL NEXT TIME LET T WOOD CHIPS FLY

They look great!! Form and function all rolled into one. They should serve you well for years to come. Enjoy.👍

I don't know why, but I always read your name as Lisa Rainbow...... Love the glue spreader. Being an old concrete finisher, I have always used popsicle sticks or putty knives to spread glue. Now I have to see if I can find that silicon spreader you use. I also like seeing what improvements people make on my ideas. I do have some old tools that had thin brass ferules on them. They always seem to crack off of that divot that is used to seat the ferule. Maybe they need thicker material.... I have taken to using a standard hex wrench to size the tenon for the ferule. They are just a hair over the exact size so you can get them off and on a nut the head of a bolt. You can actually burnish the surface of the tenon with them, which in theory, will let the wood expand a tiny bit with weather changes.... I did go down to Arizona for the AAW Symposium some years back, and all my ferules got loose. Some did expand out again, and some are still loose....

You must get a lot of satisfaction from making your own handles, neat idea having middle laminate tool thickness, well done the guy who came uo with that, another good video Lisa.

Lovely looking handles - I really enjoyed watching you make them - thank you!

I'm slightly jealous regarding your gift but those handles are really looking very nice. To get the ferrules(?) on mine these days, I'm cutting the handle slightly smaller and use some epoxy. I'm undercutting the mating surface on the handle to get a better fit, at least optically it looks better that way. Also it is better to use a saw to cut the end that goes on the handle; using a pipe cutter curves the tube inwards, leaving you with a sharp edge and a smaller diameter than the tube has. Or you have to use a file to straighten out that side.

You have a very nice shop! Nice to hear you did bandsaw boxes as well.

Great job and nice video! I'm getting ready to make some laminated handles for tang tools and your video will be my guide. Thanks much!

Those tools look great with your laminated handles!

Great Handles! Glue twice squeeze once.

Well done Lisa, those handles are beauties! I am sure you will have them to use for a lot of years! They look good and solid and should be comfortable in your hands! Cheers Al

Hi Lisa... beautiful handles... it's so nice to make something that is not only practical but also beautiful when you are going to be using the tools for many years... I love making things that I can use... really great job and video...take care...All the best.....Andy

love it, nice handles,gave me some ideas as was turning out of birch branches for mine,nice tooling in your shop,need some more of that after get vac chamber going

Very sweet Lathe Handles ,can wait to see them at Work. Maybe start selling them with the screw holders also. Well you be safe also and see you Thursday. Now I know why your bussing! lol. Greg of Ohio. Peace be With You

Beautiful handles Lisa. As ever. The only thing I need to start laminating is... wood ! In my side of the world, all the stores are not open yet, due to a certain pandemic... Patience...

Beautiful looking tools Lisa.

Nice thick handles. Stop you getting cramp. It's worked for me anyway. Best regards.

I have made a couple handles my self, but nothing a nice as yours, great job !!!!!

Lisa, to me it does not matter if both sides has glue when doing my glue-up. What DOES matter is the proper clamp pressure. Remember to turn SAFE!

G’day Lisa, I’ve made a lot of handles but not like these. I usually make round holes then sleeve for a rectangular tool, but not laminated. I’ll have to try laminated handles next time. I wasn’t sure that they would be safe enough!

Very nice I like that idea I made mine from solid wood and drilled the holes

Very nice! And congrats on the gift! Take care, Dave

Nice work!

Excellent job!👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️

Lisa: Please send me a couple photos of your rolling tool stand. I have a donor seat base that will work for something like that. BTW - Great demo of the laminated tool handles.

Awesome gift beautiful handles

Wow, nice job 👍

Lindo trabajo, bonita combinación de maderas, quedaron muy llamativos....saludos cordiales.

I just love it 👏👍🏼 i think i’ll take your idea and start doing mine all over again thx 😉 But where was your special saying was waiting for that lollll

Oh and yes I can relate to your special sayings.

A great vid as usual Lisa. Thanks🙏 I have 2 D-way scrapers that I really should make handles for. This gives me the encouragement I need ! The tube cut end looks like you have a nicely rounded over end - did you leave it or have to deal with it somewhy ? Thanks again for sharing🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷

👏👏👏

Do you stamp or sign your work?

Hi Lisa, what glue do you use for the laminations?

Hello, thank you for your video nice work. I’m just making my own handle too and I have a question: what is the thickest size of your handle?

Your fingers are too precious, keep them away from that super fast finger chopping machine!

Jetzt muss man bei jedem Aufruf bei KZfaq erstmal diese doppelte verf… Werbung über sich ergehen lassen. Manchmal möchte man nur kurz in ein Video reinschauen, um dann festzustellen, daß der Titel nur was verspricht, was nicht ist. Das fällt jetzt weg, weil es dumm ist erst über den Werbeklumpen zu springen. Dazu kommt noch, daß die Bedienung von KZfaq immer verschieden ist. Es gibt auch fast nur noch Kurz-Videos, im Kampf von KZfaq gegen TikTok.
