Just found out about your line of turning tools and I would like to order the 1/2″ diameter one with handle to try out. Please send me a quotation which includes shipping. I’ve retired from the tool business almost three years ago but I still have an interest in the new developments.

Regards,

Jerry Glaser

Johannes,

I have been thoroughly enjoying my new HannesTool Gouge by Johannes Michelsen, this is one sweet tool. The handle fits perfectly in your hand, and is superbly balanced. If you’ve ever held a very fine writing instrument in your hand — like a Mont Blanc or Pelikan pen — or one of Angelo’s pens — you’ll know what I’m talking about.

I saw your handles at the NH Symposium this past spring. The three lobe grip is what really interested me. I didn’t buy anything there but while I was working on a project at Ralph Tursini’s shop I spotted one of your tools. Ralph told me you had given him this tool to try out. Ralph went on to say how much he liked it. Thats what did it! I came back and placed my first order. I now have several and they’re by far the best handle I’ve seen or used in my opinion.

Thanks for a great product and the Woodhat DVD

Johannes,

I like the ‘cone bone’ it looks like a formidable woodturning weapon! When it’s out of the prototype stage and you are in production, put my name on the list. To quote Will Smith in ‘Independence Day’, “I’ve GOT to get me one of these! Just like your gouges, I can see plenty of other uses for that tool in my woodturning.

In all that time he could not help but ponder what would make this a better experience. And the answer is a better tool a tool with serious ergonomic considerations and intentions.

And that is this tool the HannesTool.

• Large handle 22.5” long with TPE molded on1″od aluminum
• Small Handle 18″ long is TPE molded on ¾” aluminum tube with ½” id
• Both handles have lead shot for vibration damping.
• 1 1/4″ is for spindle roughing, usually in a shorter version of the large handle
• 1” steel used for roughing spindles and face plate items
• ¾” steel for big cuts roughing and shaping
• 5/8” for basic shaping
• Small handle 17” with ½” piece of steel for final shaping
• Final cut is accomplished with a piece of 3/8” also in the small handle.
• Inserts are used for accommodating steel smaller than hole in tube

The handle has these 3 lobes. The shape of the Thermo-plastic handle is very important, the main ergonomic consideration is this unique triangular shape. Between the 3 lobes are 3 grooves, one of the grooves between these lobes is for the pads of your knuckles, the second groove is for your finger tips and the third is for your thumb.

This tri-lobed design gives you a far better grip on the tool with less gripping effort on your part. You can hold this tool and control this tool much more delicately and finely, yet with more strength and control, all the while using less effort therefore less fatigue.

All these things add up to protecting your wrist your elbow your shoulder, allowing you to turn longer and having more fun while you’re doing it.

With over a year and a half of research and development we arrived at the most perfect durometer “hardness or forgiveness” not only is this the most comfortable in your hand but also best balanced for optimum vibration absorbing material.

The steel is A-11 steel triple tempered its cryogenically treated and it comes delivered to you with the perfect Michelsen Grind on the gouge.

The HannesTool is the pinnacle of high quality woodturning tools; providing you with the ultimate wood turning experience.

We really enjoy these annual events and were happy to be part of it again. This time we introduced several new products, all of which were met with great approval. Deb and I are proud to provide what we feel is the “right stuff” for woodturners with the HannesTool gouges as our focal product and other products in support of the whole concept  have all the “right stuff” to come to a good end with your woodturning endeavors!

Here are a few pix for you to see how much fun we had and if you would like to see pix of our travels go here.
