I want to make the lower leg of the "L" by cutting and peening another piece of brass on it. I've been playing with copper nails and steel and it seems to work. I just need to cut a long strip of brass and make the holes, but with the coping saw will be slow as hell so I maybe wait till I can use the university workshop. <br /><br />Also the 2mm brass may be a tad too weak, it kind of moves when in use so I may need to cut a new piece. <br /><br />I used the plans from benchcrafted, and added a few cosmetic details I saw on another rosewood etaux. <br /><br />I've been using the vise pretty much every day, it's a perfect height for filing and cutting small pieces, will write a "review" when I have put a few more hours into it. You should really start looking for a screw thread, they are really more than worth the effort.

A bit hard for me to explain so I join a few picts: 79_Etau-sculpteur.jpeg<br />carvers_chop-4a60094.jpeg<br />dscf0098-4a611c5.jpeg<br />wooden-vice-4a61b0d.jpeg<br />carvers-vice-03-4a61ad4.png.<br />I've been looking for one for a long time, but they're getting pretty scarce, so a good thing to make one. The best one were made by "La forge royale" in Paris. The american guys at Bencrafted copied the design and made a small batch, I think you can download the plans on their site. Keep up the good life in Valpo.Dendrophore64https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266809460371031105noreply@blogger.com
