I have used almost every brand of tools available in my 24 years of turning. I kept hearing about the Thompson Tools… Now they are the first tools that I reach for out of my rack. They hold an edge longer than any other tool that I know of. Truly a blessing when you turn as much as I do. I highly recommend you give Doug Thomson a call. Or check his web site: http://thompsonlathetools.com
Thank you Doug Thompson for the sponsorship!!
