This is new ground for me, having not worked with A2 tool steel nor having ever serrated a vise jaw before. It is an interesting swivel jaw for a Bonney rapid transit vise. Not having a example to work from made for some guesstimating from etchings from the late 1800's and leaning on my pal...

Was looking through pics and found these pics of one of my favorite stands

26" harrow disc base and lamp pole column

A little something for my bride for Christmas. Made from a 3" valve body, a ski boat tow eye and a propeller. From one side I see an angel and from the other a Maltese falcon or thunderbird. Either way works I guess.

Been awhile and thought some may enjoy some semi-recent work. Thanks Royce

Just got a new gas grill, first one ever, we always have used charcoal before. It cooks a fine steak and I'm working on getting consistently good burger out of it. After researching some, decided to make a burger press for uniformity in diameter and thickness Started with a pvc female adapter, a...

Got a call from a buddy saying he had a line on a table with a vise, I asked what condition it was in and he said good. I've been in need of a small outside table, so I said grab it. Went and picked it up, 3/8"thick x 38"wide x 49"long x 30" tall with 3" pipe legs and a 6" fixed base Morgan...

Took a class at our folk school to make a box that has both Yupik and Scandinavian influence. The sides are steam bent native white spruce stitched together with spruce root. The top and bottom are hollow carved with gouge and sloyd knife. The bottom is fastened to the sides with birch nails...

I've had this very clean vise bolted to a taco cart for a number of years and it always seems to be in the way. So a new stand is in order. Starting with a 19-1/2 dia x 1" bottom plate, 11"dia x 3/8" top plate and 40' of 5/8" round bar. It is laid out for 12ea 5/8" spokes, acting as the column...

Have an old 14"delta w/gear reduction bandsaw that needed a new plate, the recess in the table is only .100 deep. The old one I had cut from soft aluminum and it finally gave way. Found a donor piece of 1/2" 6061, which should be far more rigid, but won't allow tilting the table, which is fine...

Have a large ID caliper that I never use, so opted to make a divider from it. It is also a way to learn a bit about cutting on a rotary table. After chatting with my mentor Kevin Scott, made a plan. Royce

Interactive, in that nothing is fixed and can be positioned to suit Royce

Got a request from our daughter to submit a piece for an art show at our grange hall. The theme for this month's show is faces. The first thing that came to mind was a Moai from Easter Island. Knowing it would be out of reach to get all the detail one would need to replicate one, I thought maybe...

Starting with a couple universal micro beam compasses

I've had a couple trammel points with out a beam for years and thought I would make a sliding beam for them. Started with a mock up to practice scribing and inking the graduations as well as stamping the numbers. Also formed some copper end caps and milled the end of the mock up, so the cap...

A small bell pecked from a 3/4" copper sweat cap, bronze loop and ball bearing

Started a few weeks ago with a 22" double ring gear, 1"x19" diameter plate 1-1/2"round bar and a sprocket Royce

Pulled some SS ring gaskets out of my buddy's bone pile. 24", 16" and 5-1/2" The 16" ones nested nicely in the 24" and the column will be made up of the 5-1/2"rings stacked on each other in a gentle arch.

Kissing flower pot made by our youngest daughter, for mothers day. It was sculpted in clay, then moulded in silicone and cast in mortar. Our daughter, being the goof she is, put a mosquito coil in it's mouth! Royce

Latest project, 18'-4" Lug yawl 9mm marine ply planking yellow cedar stem, apron and keel. I'm feeling the squeeze to get finished for break up. Still a good bit to go Royce
