Got some time in the shop to actually work on my stuff
I did some more work on my drawbar hammer and now just need to sort out the wooden inserts. I stole that idea from Ed and it sounded pretty cool. It also meant more milling, which I need to practice. Those rectangular blocks I picked up from an old tool and die maker worked a treat to hold everything parallel for machining the second flat. Since Ken is selling some of the CenterDex mill/drills, I decided to use mine to do this.
I also made a start on a work stop but ran out of time. Those two rough blocks of steel will be the clamping blocks.
Don't worry Rob - these will get a polish when finished and added to the home made tools thread It will be nice to have made something shiny...
