Spindle turning, making captured rings.

Nice job on the rings. What is the wood? Walnut or maybe mahogany? Also, is that a custom turning tool you made? I haven't seen one like that before.

 

[Michael Mathews]

I would also be interested in knowing what you are using for captured rings? I don't have any special tools to make them so I just get by with what I have. Would love to make some!

 

[Mike Davis]

The wood is walnut. The tools were made by me after a set that Alan Dewey gave me during a workshop he held at my shop 7 or 8 years ago.

If I remember correctly Alan Dewey made his own tools many from old screw drivers he picked up in flea markets.

 

[Mike Davis]

He made 5 sets for a workshop at my house 7-8 years ago. The screwdrivers cost about $1 each from a local store near his home.
