Bill makes lathe gouge using upcycled materials that he had laying around (AKA junk). He takes a rear strut from a Nissan 280ZX, cuts it up, grinds on it, and emerges in the end with a very handy tool. As a finishing touch, he uses the bare piece of steel to turn it’s own pallet-sourced hardwood handle. Don’t worry, the car was euthanized humanely in order to improve the braking of a Datsun 510, and parts from it have gone on to help other cars in need. The gouge, on the other hand, will be used in more than one upcoming project from Tiny Little Workshop. Shock absorber shafts are generally hard chrome surface plated, so only more use will show how long the inner steel is capable of holding a nice, sharp edge.
