Robert Sorby Spindle Master

I decided I needed a spindle gouge and thought that instead I would get the Spindlemaster from Robert Sorby Tools.

The Spindlemaster is design flat on one side and oval on the other side. The idea is that this eliminates dig-ins. In addition to doing the job of a skew chisel it also is able to cut beads, coves, etc.

If you remember, last month I saw a great demonstration of this tool and a lot of the NWG members were quite taken with it.

Although I enjoy learning the intricacies of the skew chisel I thought having a combo tool would be beneficial no matter how I used it, whether as a skew, as a gouge or both.

We’ll see… :)
