In this video I break out the power tools to craft a fanciful handle for the brass finishing gouge I made in part 1. I've selected a scrap piece of cherry from my offcut bin. It has a major check down the center, which limits its usability for other projects but is perfect for a tool handle. I rough cut the handle blank on the bandsaw, mark the center points on each end, pre-drill the hole to accept the blade, and then remove some of the waste material back at the bandsaw. With the handle blank complete I move to the lathe, where I first set the drive spur in the stock and begin turning. I didn't have a particular design in mind apart from giving the handle a bit of flair. I let the wood, the tools, and my hands guide me as I went. Once I was happy with the turning I sanded the handle and parted it off. Next time I'll try to catch it! A bit more sanding on the rough part at the end of the handle finished the woodworking. The last step was to craft a simple ferrule for the tool out
