RS Micro Spindlemaster

[Graham_C]

When I went to see Vic back in the spring, he mentioned the Robert Sorby Spindlemaster and I bought the micro version last week. Specially made for pen-making, it's only small, but so versatile.

This week I've made a couple of Indian Rosewood Mistrals, including the accents using this new tool and I have to say it is a joy to use!

Easy to keep sharp and intuitive to use, I can highly recommend it!

Happiness is finding a tool that suits you,these rounded skews are interesting to sharpen and handle.

Hi Graham,
The last photo is interesting, is that part of a pen?

Hi Paul, it's the centre band for a Mistral

Great little tool i picked a brand new one up not so long ago for £5 one of our club members brought a lathe and loads of kit to go with it and does not want it so brought loads of tools in to sell I also got a nice 3/8" bowl gouge which looks like it has not been used and as my fingernail grind one is getting a little short I need a replacement and did not want to use my standard grind one as I also use that a lot.

You got a bargain there Derek!
