Quixoticgeek<p>Finally completed this project. Been working on it far far far far far far far too long. It's a bluing tray based on the design by clickspring. (Search YouTube for Clicksprings video for a better idea what it's for). </p><p>The cup is my first ever go at silver soldering, and it ain't pretty. But it's gonna spend it's life being shoved into a blow torch flame, so never would stay pretty. The handle is made of ash. With a brass ferrel. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodTurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WoodTurning</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>First proper go at wood turning in over two decades. I had to make two as I made the hole in the near side handle too big the first time. They are almost but not quite identical. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodTurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WoodTurning</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>

wedge<p>As a couple of people rightly suggested, I was over-engineering the saw vise revamp in my initial concept design. It was a lot easier for me to see by drawing the idea to scale in relation to my elbow height.</p><p>Basically it’s the same as the original vise construction, but the back jaw is now taller, giving more ergonomic height, and accounting for the bigger bite for wider saws. The hardware is not added here, but you can see the mounting holes. </p><p><a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>woodworking</span></a> <br><a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>
