How To Re-Handle a Chisel | Japanese Chisel | Wood Turning

#japanesewoodworkingtools #woodturning #chisels In this video I'll show you how to re-handle a chisel, specifically a Japanese chisel, with some basic wood turning. This chisel is my favorite in my arsenal and has been a staple on the channel for a number of videos. It needed some TLC that required me to remove the old chisel handle, which was crafted by myself from Australian Pine. So after I got it back from the blacksmith I decided to opt to spin up another handle out of extra curly white oak I had laying about. Re-handling a Japanese chisel does take a little extra thought as opposed to their western counterparts. Japanese chisels are tricky because they are built with hybrid construction in mind. They're a cross between a tang chisel and a socket chisel which makes fitting extra tricky. In this video, you'll see how I accommodated for the tang while still being able to mount it on the lathe and quickly fix up this simple handle. I give a very basic visual demonstration of how to turn a handle for a chisel and inevitably how to handle a chisel with a tang. After a couple sharpens, you can see that this re-handled paring chisel is good to go back in service. Replacing a chisel handle has never been easier,.
