I really need to explore hook tools. Noticed that the turner in the video had his beveled on both sides and cut with both edges. Would love to see the nose profile of the gouge he drilled the center hole with... I did notice that the tools in the video did have ferules on them, but your set doesn't have them. I guess you could put them on if you wanted. Now, I am trying to remember if the Japanese turning tools have ferules on them....
