Gouges?

03/07/2008 06:40 PM McLaren1592

Hey Guys.... something new to discuss...

I don't know anything about gouges. The different names or shapes I can understand, but how does the numbering system work?... There seems like so many different sizes...

Do you buy them in sets or individually?.... If there is 5 widths of #3, and 5 widths of #5 and so on... how do you know what to get?

Tommy, with your fretwork.... you just happened to have a gouge that matched the curve you were carving? If you didn't have one, would you buy one?

It just seems like there is a million choices, how would you go about starting a collection of carving tools? Maybe T-Mac can show us the ones he has in a ATM vid.... or maybe Eli can suggest a starter set for stuff he might tackle at school?

thanks, Dave
