Antique Engravers Block
Step 1. On repair & remake of engravers block.
New part in stainless steel a bit more fine tuning to make it work a little smoother.
Ever have one of those days where everything is going perfect....,,right up until the end when something goes wrong and everything you do after that makes things worse. Should have cut your losses and started again cos it would have been quicker and had a better finished product! Im having them a lot lately.🤬
Yesterday it was the mount hole ended up a bit off centre for the thread retainer so I have to take one side down.
Today I decided to shrink fit the body of the key onto the handle and melted the bronze. Had to remake the bronze and ended up with a hole that didnt line up. Lots of annoyances in between trying to salvage the original.
Lots of other bits to make yet.
False jaws (risers), pin plates, all the pins & holders, leather doughnut and wooden doughnut holder. Anti rotation loving pin.
Cos Im a sucker Im also making the leather work tools to make the doughnut.
Starting with a trim knife.
*All work to be done after dark & during nap times when the baby is a sleep now the Missus has gone back to work.
