I must be that “one other guy” that bought the tool roll. Our woodturner club has “Open Shop” once a month, where we meet in a member shop on Saturday morning. A lot of turners make their own tool carrying case with PVC pipes. I use my fancy-shmancy Wood Whisperer turners roll. It stores compactly out of the way when not in use.
Well we thank you for that purchase Mark! It’s a shame because it really is a good quality roll.
Marc, if the tool roll is the same quality and style sold by Woodcraft, it is definitely a quality item. Heavy material and plenty of pockets for turning tools.
Regarding that difficult bridal joint: would a Fein Multimaster have helped?
Regarding the bridle joint, I was thinking about cutting a series of kerfs about 1/8″ shy of the depth and knocking the bulk of the waste out with a chisel and mallet and finishing with a router plane. It sounded like Shannon was just making the cuts on the outer walls and chiseling between the two cuts.
