I purchase my polymer from these people http://www.ivoryalternative.com/. You will also find them useful for ivory and ebony alternatives.

I was interested in that material (Polymer) which has a wood or horn? grain effect that you are using. Would you be able to point me in the direction of where to get some to try it out on musical instruments.

Thanks for your comments.

Yes the overhang is large due to the template being a little on the short side and therefore it fouls the base of the tool holder. I shall need to make up a new template.

The bun screws on to the threaded arbour matching the threads inside the bun. If you look at blog 44 and you will see some of the hardware for the handle and bun fixing.

Watch this space and I will show the polymer fitted to a plane and then tell me if you think it is worth the trouble. The purists however will settle for nothing other than wood.

Karl, that picture of you covered in shavings answers the question, it’s absolutely classic!

Cheers,
Steve

I too love the copy tool! Maybe it is just the angle of the photo, but the tool overhang looks a bit large, but I am sure it is fine for the polymer.

You don’t show how you get the knob onto the shaft that you hold in the ER collet on the lathe. Is there a threaded insert or bushing of some kind in the knob?

Lovely work as always! And now you know how to make a great costume for Halloween!

Maybe some dust extraction ports near the job.
Great work.
