Hi JoHannes,

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.
