On the other side of the coin, somewhere along the line, probably when moving house the base has taken a knock and only three legs will touch the ground at a time. I loosened all the bolts but still no joy, so I removed each bolt one at a time and drilled the holes out a bit bigger. I didn't quite finish that before I had to go and get dinner started for Valentines Day.

Umm. There's no such thing as free lunch :wink: , but I'm seriously tempted to travel.

With my bandsaw now working like new again, I was able to cut out a perspex template for the thumbhole handle. I also had to get my scrollsaw back into working order to do the handhole and thumbhole.

With the scroll saw working again, I also cut out the hand holes in two other backsaw handles which I had bandsawn a while ago. :2tsup:

Now I have three backsaw handles ready to fit and shape and a perspex template done.

These are tasks I am better off doing in my own shed with my own gear before heading up to Matt's handle making day. There will still be plenty of work to do on them when I get there.

I have a few vices so hopefully we can get people clamped down[emoji23].
Depending how many attendees we have, I may need to look into asking people to bring there own vice.

I’m just concerned that the day turns into one big massive self help group with all these weird vices going around tho.

Cheers Matt [emoji23][emoji23].

I could be persuaded to bring my travelling workbench. In addition to the holdfasts I use in the kids' mallet making classes at Dave's GTG I also have wonderdogs and a Z-Vise that I use on that bench. Plenty of space for two to work at, three is possible, even four if they are very good friends. :roll:

I now have this image in my mind:

You are all seated in a circle. Matt holds the floor:

"My name is Matt and I'm an addict. I want to share my vices with you ." (Huge round of applause) :D

Aw.... pictures Doug?

You are putting me in a really awkward position.

I looked up images for addiction and that was, how can I put it, too realistic. So I looked for "indecent obsession" thinking it might be similar (pure conjecture on my part you understand), but there must have been some sort of musical group with this name and showed nothing very interesting at all. Anyhow it wasn't what I was looking for.

Then I thought "fetish" could come close. This is the definition
- 1.
  a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.
  !important]"a man with a fetish for surgical masks"
  
  2.
- an inanimate object worshipped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.
  
  Now this was very interesting and although the second meaning was maybe more appropriate, I decided to research both in the interests of science and to a lesser extent to appease Doug. I am now much more worldly as a result of my research, but there was little I could post picture-wise without incurring some criticism.
So then I looked up vice and it seems I can't spell as the sort I wanted was listed under "vise." However there was nothing there that you haven't seen before (which was not the same story with fetish.)

So lastly here are my two dedicated handle making vices, which you have probably seen before, but are the best I could come up with under the circumstances (the circumstances being primarily censorship.

Attachment 449572Attachment 449573Attachment 449574Attachment 449575

In trying to find my vices (for handle making) I also turned up another picture I had saved as maybe useful and more quickly made.

Attachment 449576

Sorry the pix are not more exciting. Those I rejected certainly were.

Paul,
I assume all is well, that can be well, north of we’re I’m am sitting [emoji849].
Please check the use by dates, of the after 11 am beverages.
Thank you very much for a delightful or delicious if you want to fall that far, very narrow selection of beautiful English words.

Your red vice is that new !!
I just get back to reading the marquis de sade I’m fairly sure I heard there was a reference to saws in there somewhere.

Cheers Matt.

Thanks Paul,

Well that was a trip down memory lane, and my vice has progressed about as far as how politicians becoming honest.
