Arbortech Ball Gouge

Hello and welcome to Badger Workshop. BriMarc Tools & Machinery asked if I would like to try the Arbortech Ball Gouge and I said yes. I had a play with it making a spoon and carving a dish.

It is available here

Got one of Arbortechs AllSaws. Hell of a piece of kit. They've got quite a range of accessories for grinders for carving and chiseling. Would love to have a go with some of them but can't justify spending the money on them just for a look-see just yet. This ball gouge looks fun.

Cómo se llama ésta herramienta y dónde podría adquirirla saludos

I like your table saw, how much you paid for it?

[almagill]

Have been lusting after one of these since Makers Central :)

[calgaryjsc]

Thanks for your video! Which bosch grinder was used in this video?

[SMee]

That will definitely come in super handy in future projects, no doubt👌
Nice work, mate👍

[eyeballll]

Does the ball gouge come with the threaded adapter to allow screwing it onto the grinder?

I bought one of these a while back and it is a great tool but boy does it make a mess. Made the mistake of using it on my bench and quickly covered all my tools with debris, took ages to clean up. Good to use outside. I took a bit longer to get used to the cutting and sometimes it dug in and ruined my work but practice makes perfect. Andy UK

Looks like a nice little to Matt. I love the bowl btw. 👍

Thanks Matt, I downloaded the Brimarc catalogue. BobUK

That would've been handy for the "bowl without a lathe challenge"
nice job Matt

[mariah]

I really like both of those; the spoon is so cute and the growth rings in the bowl are gorgeous. Nice one Matt :-)

Have you tried it on properly hard wood like acacia or oak.?
Everyone seems to use softwood

[Chris-vpht]

any chance of a review on your new planer thicknesser. great vid

[NitroMaxOriginal]

Great tool but at £86 it's hard to justify, the Mrs would have harsh words to say.

[richardadams]

it's going to make making spoons a lot faster. and the bowl will be a lot smoother

[CasualDIY]

Very cool projects. I'm still before my first spoon project. This could be the tool to help me do it tho :) thanks for sharing

[AndyCPugh]

That certainly speeds up the process of making a bowl.
