I didn't get much chance to get in shed today but I did make a pen for a visitor, it was one of those diamonte slimline things for a wonderful pregnant lady,
I didn't take a pic because it was a bloody plastic she chose so not worthy of a camera shot.
Anyway after my visitors left I did get to thinking that I had promised a few things and while a couple are in mind I will put them on.
I aint' sure what thread they were in so I'll stick em together in here.
First was the pen vice somebody was asking about and I gobbed off about drilling a hole in a normal vice so here it is as you can see no special pen blank squaring devices required as it holds nice and square anyway init?
Simply shut the jaws and drill a small ole
As you can see its square just by gripping it init?
Next cheap as chips jig is making flats on a round this is my jig and it works well simply a channel in a channel with a couple of cable ties and a bolt through to the banjo.
George made a super duper version after seeing this typical him anything you can do I can do better init?
I can't remember what else I promised but if you remind me I'll stick in ear.
