I recommend Eddie’s site, Copper couplings, as well as the Sovereign handle systems if you're looking to learn more about turning handles. Eddie has a lot of valuable information for the woodturning world, but I am not a fan of his video tutorials. They are outdated and very poor quality. But, there is plenty of information on the Internet about turning handles as well as copper couplings.
Sovereign handle system
Sovereign turn handle system is a unique new handle system that is designed for woodturners. The handles can be interchanged and are made in Sheffield, England by Robert Sorby. Sovereign tool handles accept 5/8" diameter tools. Sovereign Collet Adapters for different lengths are also available. Sovereign handles are handmade in Sheffield. This ensures quality and reliability.
Woodturning chisels
No matter whether you're new to woodturning or have been turning for many years, quality woodturning chopsels are crucial. Modern chisels are usually made of HSS, which is an excellent choice for budget-conscious woodturners. These tools are also relatively inexpensive and cost less than high-quality, new woodworking chisels. A good woodturning tool set will contain four to five tools.
Woodturning gouges
Woodturning is an exciting hobby, so you will want to invest in a set or woodturning tools and handles. While turning wood is a fun process, you need to be aware that you can end up with dangerous tools if you don’t adhere to safety guidelines. You should first establish a budget. Also, make sure that you're comfortable with the price. A quality roughing gouge will last for many years, so don't skimp on the expense.
Copper couplings
Many woodturners use copper and brass plumbing couplings to turn their handles. The scraper is used to remove flats from brass nuts. They then use HSS turning tools for creating rounded ferrules. When installing these couplings, be sure to protect your HSS tools, as they may be subjected to wear and tear. A repair coupler may be used to replace a copper coupling that bursts.
Drawknife
Drawknife turning handles are made of wood. These tools were traditionally used in woodworking. These tools were usually made from floor boards or paneling. It was also used for making tool handles. It was widely used to shape axe handles, and stool legs. It could also be used in cutting wheel spokes. The final step was to finish the work with a spokeshaver, or scraper.
Spokeshave
A spokeshave is a cutting tool used for shaping wooden objects. It looks similar to a plane with two sides. The spokes can be turned by pulling or pushing against the piece. They can also be used to smooth out most curves. Start with a smaller piece first and work your manner around it until you get the desired shape.
Plane
There are many ways to turn the handles of your plane. First measure the length your hand to determine the size of your foot. Next, cut down the foot to one fourth of an inch. Using a sharp bit, drill through the 1/4-inch hole in the foot near the front of the handle. You will want to use a small, precise reamer to reduce tearout. You should also drill a small hole between the rear and front screw holes.

How can I learn basic woodworking skills
The best way to learn how furniture construction is to make your own bench. This project can easily be done using whatever wood you have at your house. You don't need to know which type of wood you should use. Instead, get some pine boards at Lowes or Home Depot. You'll need to sand the bench after it's built. Then, finish it with varnish or a stain.

How To
How to properly use a handsaw
The wood is cut into pieces using a hand saw. The most common types of hand saws are circular saws, jigsaws, table saws, band saws, saber saws, crosscut saws, miter saws, and rip saws. A hand saw is a tool made from metal or plastic which cuts material such as wood, plastics, metals, etc.
The best thing about a handsaw is the ability to make precise cuts at all angles and without needing adjustment. They are also easy to sharpen, unlike power tools. However, they do have some disadvantages. These devices are bulky and heavy so you need to be careful when transporting. Also, if you do not know how to use one, you could easily injure yourself.
There are many ways that you can use a handsaw. You should always keep your hands far away from the blades while cutting. If you don't, you might get hurt. You should hold the saw with your fingers close to the handle. Your thumb should be at the top of your blade. You won't accidentally touch it.
It is important to not put anything under the piece you are cutting when using a handheld saw. Doing so could cause the blade's surface to become uneven. Always check the area where you want to cut before starting. Make sure there are no nails, screws or other objects under the wood.
While working with a saw, you should always use safety goggles. They protect your eyes from dust, which makes it easier to see what is happening. Safety glasses also protect your eyes from flying debris.
Before you start working with a saw, it is important to learn how to use it safely. Practice until you feel comfortable cutting. Once you know the basics, it will be easy to cut anything.
