Traditional Skills - Modern Technology

Acorn tools are world renowned and have been made by Henry Taylor since 1834, combining the traditional pride and skills of those far off days with the aids of modern technology. Only the best quality Sheffield steel is used, coupled with advanced heat treatment, to ensure that the finest of cutting edges is not only achieved but also maintained. Many of the lower quality tools produced elsewhere are made under drop stamps or presses but Henry Taylor believe that only the hand forging method used by the Acorn craftsmen can produce the correctly shaped blade, with the best metallurgical qualities. Only Henry Taylor s unique combination of traditional skill, individualised production, Sheffield s best steel, overlaid with the necessary technology, can produce the wide variety of tools with the precision of form and excellence of cutting edge demanded by skilled woodcarvers throughout the World. contents

Woodcarvings by Michael Painter

1 Amateur & Professional

Henry Taylor Tools produce many different shapes and sizes of carving chisels, many of these being made in two basically differing styles, which is, perhaps, currently the most extensive range available. Professional or Workmen s tools are longer (blade length 4 3/4" [119mm]) with uniform black non-reflective finish, except on the insides which have a straw coloured ground surface. Amateur or Ladies tools by comparison are shorter (blade length 3 1/2" [88mm]) and are bright ground all over and finished straw colour. The only difference between the two styles are finish and length, otherwise the quality and shapes are identical. However, the professional range is more extensive. Professional tools are traditionally selected by the experienced carver, particularly for heavier work and being longer can be repeatedly sharpened. Amateur tools being shorter are, perhaps, more easily controlled by the less skilled or by the smaller hand and possess all the inherent qualities of the professional tools. The Henry Taylor identification system uses four digit numbers and the professional tools commence with 37.., and the amateur 24... Fishtail tools are available only in the professional length, prefix 50...

Straight Tools These tools are straight along the length of the blade but vary from flat across the blade up through very shallow sections to deep V shapes. Chisels The first tools in the range are 2411 amateur and 3701 professional, which somewhat resemble an ordinary straight but with rounded on each side of the cutting edge. The second tools in the range are 2412 amateur and 3702 professional, which are the same as 2411 and 3701 except that the cutting edge is skewed to facilitate cutting into very sharp corners. Available in product numbers: Straight 3701 and 2411 Skew 3702 and 2412

Gouges The first gouges listed are the 2413 and 3703 which exhibit a very shallow curve across the blade and so on to 2421 and 3711 which have a very deep U section. All of these tools with a curve or U across the blade are called gouges, they are the most used carving tools and are suitable for heavy stock removal with the wider tools having the advantage of not splitting the along the grain as would a flat chisel, or for cutting grooves or C cuts when used vertically. Gouges are available for both amateur and professional, up to 11/2" wide in the shallower sections and 11/2" wide in the medium and deeper shapes. Available in product numbers: 3703 to 3711 and 2413 to 2421 inc.

Parting Tools These are straight tools exactly as the previous category. but are V shaped in section. Three different angles of V are available in both amateur and professional ranges up to 3/4" wide in the deepest V , 3/4" in the medium and 1" in the shallowest. Additionally the winged parting tool - a very shallow V with curved sides in the professional style only is available. and is used mainly for cutting V grooves, outlining letterwork etc. Available in product numbers: 3745, 3739, 3741, 2455, 2449, 2451 and 3747

Veiners Veiners are deep narrow gouges which are used for fine lines, lettering, detail, etc. Available in product number 3748 up to 11/2".

Bent or Curved Tools These tools are exactly the same as the straight tools except that they are curved along the length to facilitate cutting in recesses, inside bowls and curves, etc. All are available in both professional and amateur ranges of sections and widths except that the two straight cross section chisels (i.e. and skew ends) are not made in the form. Available in product numbers: 3712 to 3720 inclusive and 3746, 3740, 3742. 2422 to 2430 inclusive and 2456, 2450, 2452.

CUTTING EDGE SHAPE - 06 5. SIZE - 3/8" Check individual tool shapes chart (centre spread) and ensure size required is available.

Spoon Bit and Bent Tools These tools are specifically designed for carving in the awkward spots, generally inside tight curves i.e. concave surfaces. The general appearance of these tools is rather like a spoon with the tool form being confined to a short spoon-bowl like curved or bent area on the end of the shank. Both amateur and professional types are available in the spoonbit form in the full range of sections and widths, except the shallow V form. Due to the curvature of the bowl end of the tool it is necessary to offer the skew chisels in both left and right handed forms. RH: 2432 Amateur 3722 Professional LH: 2433 Amateur 3723 Professional Also: 3721, 3724 to 3732 inc, 3743 and 3744, 2431, 2434 to 2442 inc, 2452, 2454.

Back Bent Tools Very similar to the spoon bit type except that the bowl end of the tool is reversed (upside down). Available for both the amateur and professional in the full range of sizes but only in the shallower sections. Available in product numbers: 3733 3738 and 2443 to 2448 inclusive

Fishtail Tools These tools are longitudinally straight and have a straight shank which widens out progressively to the cutting edge resembling a fish s tail. Made only in the professional form, but the full range of straight and gouge sections up to 1". V s are not available. The particular benefit of these tools is that, mainly in the larger sizes, the shank does not interfere when cutting deeper areas in the carving and visibility is improved. Available in product numbers: 5001 to 5011 inclusive

Long Pod Tools Similar in principle to the fishtails but the cutting form is taken further back down the shank and they are available in all sections except the V and only up to 1" wide. The advantages and uses of these tools essentially is similar to the fishtails and they are only made in the professional style. Available in product numbers: 3761 to 3771 inclusive.

Allongee Tools Again somewhat similar to the fishtails and long pod tools except there is no parallel shank at all - the cutting form tapering back to the bolster. These tools are very robust and have the advantage of good visibility around the tool and the ability to cut without damaging the foreground. Available only in the professional style and in the straight, shallow and medium gouge sections, but up to 2" wide. These are the tools for heavy work. Available in product numbers: 3791 to 3799 inclusive

6 SKEW GOUGES A new generation of woodcarving tools Fred Cogelow has gained a considerable reputation in North America over the last decade, having won more best of showawards in recent yearsthan any other carver. Our first introduction to Fred was at the Davenport Congress in 1982 when his carving Hunts the Crying Bear won the Henry Taylor $5000 best of show award. Since that time we have maintained friendly and regular contact with him. Combining his years of experience and natural talent for woodcarving together with his broad knowledge of engineering, Fred has innovated a range of carving tools which offer the decreased Fred Cogelow with an example of his work. resistance of the skew (the same principal as that of the guillotine) in combination with the control and contouring capabilities of the gouge. In addition, a variety of new bends and lengths allow greater accessibility and greatly improved ergonomic performance. The tools have been selected for production based on their individual merits and suitability to a wide variety of carving products and styles.

Cutting at high speed concentrates a lot of wear at one small spot on the tool’s cutting edge and the edge can get very hot. In these conditions carbon steel tools soften and dull very quickly and require repeated grinding to maintain a sharp edge. High speed steels which are more expensive have been developed over many years for cutting tools that must resist abrasion and the high edge temperatures caused by friction. A sharpened edge on a high speed steel turning tool will last many times longer than its equivalent in carbon steel, thus far less time is wasted in Carbon regrinding and the life of the tool is prolonged. Also the heat resistant nature Steel of high speed steel reduces the danger of accidentally drawing the temper of the steel during grinding. HSS Steel The colour of the handle readily identifies our turning tools. Turning Tool Handles Carefully designed and finished in English Turning tools can be supplied with or without handles.

Gouges Superflute High Speed Steel Gouges (deep fluted). The original Superflute HS.1. designed in 1978 by Roy Child is perhaps the most famous woodturning tool of all time, has sold in thousands all over the world and remains the ulti- mate gouge used by most leading turners. Now made in a range of sizes the 1/2" or 3/8" gouge recommended for general purpose work and the 1/4" gouge for small bowls on very delicate cuts.

Chisels are used for convex, conical and cylindrical features in turning, they are also used for cleaning up end grain and vee cuts. Oval section skews are easier to use and offer enhanced sensitivity and precise handling, they are more stable on the rest and less prone to dig-ins . Standard skews are stronger and heavier and less prone to vibration. Square end chisels are the traditional choice for planning cuts on cylinders and tapered forms. Used correctly they give a wonderful finish even on difficult wood. Planning cuts can also be done with a skew chisel. Chisels - Carbon Steel Plain Skews - Standard Long & Strong

Fingernail Profile Gouges Most woodturners have difficulty in achieving a fingernail profile. Henry Taylor Tools have been providing fingernail gouge to the overseas market for a number of years and have now introduced a selection of gouges with a factory ground fingernail profile to the U.K. market. We have adopted a medium grind as this is not only safe in use, but also allows the turner to modify the profile to his specific requirements. Wing tips ground back so they cannot catch on the work. Pulling and pushing cuts can be taken Delicate shearing cuts and full profiling cuts are easier with this profile.

17 H.S.S. Woodturning Tools - Developed with the co-operation of international experts. 1. Designed by Richard Raffan. Richard began woodturning in 1970 and can be described as one of the world s foremost authorities on this craft. Drawing on his vast experience Richard has designed a range of tools which are produced from heavy section materials, with particular attention given to the curved cutting edge shapes. The tools are safe to use because the thick material does not flex thus reducing the chance of catches. The curved cutting edges are less prone to catches and much enhance the versatility and controlled performance of the tools. Raffan books and videos describing and demonstrating his techniques and tool section are available world wide.

5. H.S.S. Turning Tools by Ray Key. - 3/8" & 1/2" H.S.S. Modified Spindle Gouges. Used mainly for making boxes, from hard dense end grain material. Internal hollowing from the centre is made easy with the short stubby 60/65ß angle, this allows for a strong vibration free pivot cutting action, as the bevel can be rubbed for much of the time. For outside shaping the long side grind is used with the bevel rubbing, the tool is pulled along the material. Quality of surface obtained is the equivalent of a skew chisel, but is much better than a skew on difficult woods. This tool is also used for refined shaping of the outside of small bowls. Used correctly the bevel 5. rubs with a slicing cut action and leaves a very clean tool finish, no scraping is required. End grain hollowing on softer woods and larger work is best done with the 1/2" gouge. The end/side cutting scraper is made from a 3/4" square end scraper. This is used to true up gouge ripples in the base of flat bottomed boxes and to true up the side walls. The 1/2" skew is one that has a much longer angle than normal, it is used more like a sheer scraper on end grain and for cutting the dovetail undercut on bowls and platters required by many of today’s chucks. The 3/4" round side scraper is used for the truing up of gouge ripples in the base of soft curved boxes, goblets, egg cups etc. The modified straight across the grind make it much easier to remove the nipple or pimple often found in such items when the rounded end ones are used.

20 Hints on Sharpening - H.S.S. Turning Tools Grind in the ordinary way on a standard or if a new wheel is to be purchased choose a soft white aluminium oxide wheel 60 to 80 grit size, medium to soft grade K. The grindstone as with all tool grinding must be kept clean and dressed if glazed. H.S.S. unlike carbon steel will not soften if coloured by the heat of grinding but the temper colours must definitely be avoided if maximum performance from the cutting edge is desired. This is because there is a risk of minute cracks developing at the edge which weakens it. This again can damage the steel. Do not remove more metal than is absolutely necessary to leave a sharp edge. Do not round off the bevel. Find the correct angle and stick to it. Honing is beneficial for most of the tools especially when turning . However, most turners only hone the chisels and use the other tools straight from the grindstone. Bevel angles, measured from the axis of the tool, recommended for general use :- Superflute bowl gouge - 40 degrees. Chisels - 15 degrees, 30 degree included angle. Spindle gouges - 35 degrees, less for softwood. Scrapers - 60 to 70 degrees.
