I'll take the blue handle please.

>A few days ago I posted a question about finding a supplier for Glaser tools on the west coast. Well Jerry Glaser saw my post and emailed me. After a couple of emails I decided to get a 5/8" bowl gouge made with the hard as diamonds V-15 steel. Since other people color coordinate accessories with their lathe I figured I would too. I think the blue handle will look good with my old Jet 1236.

Wrong color, now I have to buy a black lathe.

You've made a great choice!

>Dave,
After using that gouge for a while, I believe you'll come to find that you've made a great choice. I use my Glaser gouges almost exclusively now.
I also have the A-11 5/8" Deep Bowl Gouge. One of the nice things about it is the handle's ability to resist imparting vibration to your hands. This works well when shear scraping.
See ya around,
Dominic
