Description
I am selling many of my fine tools (Bridge City, Lie Nielsen, etc.). Many of these tools are brand new, or have only been on display in my tool cabinets/chests. Many are no longer made and are becoming hard to acquire.This auction is for a Bridge City Tool Works TT-1 Turning Tree. It has not been used, other than as a display for admirers of fine tools to see. What a cool tool. Is is as much a wonderful display of precision and beauty as a tool to use. The perfect gift for someone who loves fine tools or for the wood turner. Comes in box with BCT flyer. I couldn’t remove the bottom ring set from the base (it is so tight) so I will leave that up to the new owner to remove or display as an assembled unit.
Description from website:
TT-1 TURNING TREE
The TT-1 Turning Tree is made in nine sections. Individual sections can be removed and kept in your apron pocket as quick references until your turning job is completed. We recommend you don't place this precision tool on the outboard end of your lathe while you turn, lest it vibrate onto the floor. All sections nest together, sturdy as a tree, awaiting your calipers. The major diameter of each section is permanently marked with the diameters of all four cylinders which make up that particular section. You'll know at a glance which section contains the diameter to match the drill you used to make the mortise. Additionally, the TT-1 Turning Tree sections can be used to size existing holes. Simply grab the section which closely resembles the hole you wish to measure and drop the narrow end into the hole until you find the size which fits. This can be extremely helpful in repairing antiques or making replacement parts.
Take a look at my other listings and watch out for many more fine tool listings to come. Some of the tools are very rare or one of a kind.
