The tools used for turning wood 13 are simply chisels and gouges. The chisels are made with four kinds of points, namely, (1) skew point; (2) round point; (3) square point, and (4) spear point, and these are shown in Fig 18. These chisels can be bought in all sizes from 1/4 inch to 1 inch wide.

Gouges also come in sizes from 1/4 inch up to 1 inch, and a parting tool, which is used to cut off a turned piece and which is simply a V shaped chisel, can be had in 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 inch sizes. These turning tools are also shown in Fig. 18. You can buy them fitted with applewood handles and sharpened ready for use for about 50 cents apiece. You can buy them of hardware dealers or of Hammacher, Schlemmer and Co., Fourth Ave. and 13th Street, New York.

18 Buck Bros.' turning tools for wood are counted best.
