Has anyone turned handles for your gouges? I have been given a couple of turning tools without handles. If you have how do you drill the hole for the gouge to fit inside with a tight fit. I believe Ash would be fine for this job, is this correct. :nooidea:

I have some Simon Hope quick release handles. You can buy different size collets to fit one handle and his smallest handle sells for £25 and his medium size handle sells for £27.
Just google Simon Hope Woodturning.
