Scorps

[Philip Davies]

Thank you, Chris. It is very gratifying indeed to receive an award like this.

Thank you kindly, PJ.

Thank you very much indeed, Doug.

Thank you very much indeed, Marv. The compliments from you and other multiple-award winners are most sincerely appreciated. I have some tire levers and thought of making drawknives, but I have other material for that. Perhaps I shall post the adze I made from a hoe, but it’s a bit thin (in more senses than one.)

Tire!? We spell it “tyre”. It has been a long hot day!

It's important to note how difficult it is for woodworkers to win this award. You can see this dynamic easily in this post: All winning Homemade Tool of the Week tools.

Woodworkers don't get a boost here; they compete evenly with metalworkers and machinists. Most weeks, this means that woodworkers' tools simply don't garner enough Thanks votes for consideration for this award. Winning woodworkers often also have metalworking, electronic, or luthier skills, or they simply post an excellent tool.

Congratulations Phillip. I have a friend of mine who does wood working currently I am gathering suitable materials to build him a heavy duty wood lathe I might through in a set of scorps for him when I get around to building it
Thanks for the idea

Congratulations Phil! It's been a while we hadn't seen a woodworking tool rewarded!

Please fellow woodworkers post more woodworking stuff ! ,��

Did you make any project with the tools ? Spoons or things like that ?

Good points Christophe and Jon. I agree but have to say we have a few new folks that are breaking that mold and I personally appreciate their designs and craftsmanship especially with old school hand techniques and repurposing materials. For me it's always about the design for functionality first, then Craftsmanship, repurposing, fit and finish.... There are So many other criteria I look at it's hard to put them all in, but a good write up and good pics are always a good start in my book.

I'm not very good with wood work but enjoy the tools they use. I have expanded my knowledge and skill a bit working with my son on some of his projects and a few minor ones of my own, like the handle for my scraper on the mini lathe and a few others. I also would like to see more from folks here as I so appreciate the quality of grains in wood, finishing and techniques for joinery, mainly old school techniques and tools like Philip's Scorps, great simple hand tool instead of breaking out the rotary power tools to whip out a shape.

Mostly I love learning and seeing other ideas plus there is a "Crossover" between metal and wood I think. There is a guy on YT named "Koss" that make beautiful as well as very functional handles for knives and other tools he makes or restores. And this is a great place to share the knowledge and ideas with others of the same mindset and want to learn and create.

Love to see more Too!

Thank you for all these compliments. I believe the idea of using a ring spanner for a scorp is not original, but cannot remember where I came across it.
