They Said You Can’t Turn Wood with a Bolt… I Proved Them Wrong!

Video Description

🔧 From Bolt to Precision Woodturning Gouge – A Tool Like No Other! 🔧 In this video, I take a simple steel bolt and transform it into a sharp, one-of-a-kind woodturning gouge using a blend of metalworking, woodworking, woodturning, and jewelry-making techniques. This isn’t just another tool restoration or DIY build – this is a complete transformation into a handcrafted masterpiece. I used my drill press as a lathe to turn the handle from natural wood, giving it a beautiful shape and finish. To make it even more unique, I crafted a custom copper ferrule and lid, combining durability with elegant design. Every detail, from the shaping of the gouge to the final polish, was done by hand – no CNC, no shortcuts. ✅ Techniques used in this project: • Metalworking (grinding, polishing, shaping the gouge) • Woodturning (handle creation on a DIY drill press lathe) • Woodworking (precision fit and finishing) • Jewelry making (custom copper collar & decorative elements) This project is perfect for anyone who loves custom tools, DIY engineering, and maker-style craftsmanship. Whether you’re a woodturner, metalworker, or just love watching incredible transformations, this video will inspire your next creation. 🔥 Don’t miss this unique build – watch the full process from bolt to finished gouge! 🛠️ If you enjoy handmade tools, original builds, and creative problem-solving, make sure to subscribe and turn on notifications!
