Thank you, Mike! Much appreciated!

Stewart we learned a lot from his videos, his techniques and his experiments, but the most interesting thing is his excitement, his determination to do things differently and better. From here in Brazil I wish you much success and a big hug Said Choucair.

Very useful video Stewart. Always good to get an honest comparison of similar tools and what they do. Many thanks 🙏

OK, you're right, that was fun. My ancient spiraling tool, forget the brand, clearly isn't up to the Simon Hope tools. Those textures were very clean. I will have to make something for my wife that requires texturing so I can justify it by needing only the best for her. Yeah, that'll work.

Thanks for demonstrating the Hope tools, I do like the way it embosses instead of cutting. I have always had trouble with ragged tearout using the Sorby system whereas the Hope tool leaves a cleaner finish. Definately going to give it a closer look Stewart.

Cheers, Ian! The difference in finish was certainly noticeable. Have fun!

Thanks for sharing Stewart, the tools are a bit pricey for me. I'll just stick to my homemade chatter tool made out of a 25 cent butter knife that give me similar results.

Love your channel Stewart! I've been using my Sorby tool to texture spinning tops that my club sells to donate to a children's hospital. I had to make 30. I may consider the other vendor's tools.

I've been thinking about getting the Sorby ones, but after this video I may consider the Simon Hope ones... probably a good thing they didn't have any of the Simon Hope ones at Makers. Great video and thank you for sharing your thoughts on these tools.

Hi ho Stewart. I was at the Woodturning shop on the Friday and couldn’t resist the fluting jig and the Hope thread cutter, i must be mad.

@stewartfurini

Fantastic! Although the fluting jig does super-neat and accurate work (not quite my style!) I think it'll be on this year's shopping list for sure....the threading jig is superb too.....will I make lots of threaded boxes......with decorated lids......hmmmm......maybe......!

As they say “I am just one tool away from greatness”. I now like the Hope alternative to the Sorby system. Guess there is a new addition to my wish list. Not sure I should say thank you!?! 🤣🤣🤣

Haha....of course you should say thank you - any excuse....ahem...I mean legitimate reason to buy a new tool has to be given in to! Seriously, though, they are wonderful quality....one fly in the ointment is that I don't think Simon can send them to the USA anymore...not sure why....check out his website! hopewoodturning.co.uk/ All the more reason to hop over here!

Still can't make up my mind between the Sorby micro & the Hope micro. I love the patterns I can get with my large Sorby tool using all 4 wheels. The Hope certainly makes different patterns which allows more versatility. Decisions Decisions.

Interesting comparison Stewart, I've the sorby large, I find if you don't use it enough it's hard to remember which angle of presentation gives what pattern. Simon does produce some really good tools. Cheers Geoff

Hi Stewart. I have a 1/3 hp 250w small bench top lathe and someone said it may not be powerful enough to use a texturing tool, what do you think. Anyway love all your videos, have only started turning recently and they are great inspiration. Thanks

Thanks for commenting, Alison...to be honest, I'm not sure about the answer to your question....I think you should be able to do it.....if you happen to be in a woodturning club perhaps a fellow member with a texturing tool would let you have a go with their tool? I imagine the concern would be that the pressure of the cut would slow the lathe down. If you do get to have a go with a texturing tool on your lathe. let me know how you get on!

Can the cutters be interchanged between brands? Always enjoy watching your videos, your a natural entertainer.

Good question, Harvey! I haven't tried ....but I don't think the small cutters can be interchanged, though the larger might....will have to have a look when I'm in the workshop next....
