I,ve got a piece of plexiglass or acrylicwas gonna use for a pastry rolling pin but would give up half for a splitter/beveler,fact is I got 2 -14 " pieces,2.5 inch dia.let me know if you wanna do some trading.I,m in N.E.Okla,Edward

looks real good.10 or 12 years ago I built mine using 1x12 for the seat and legs.laminated the top with oak t&g flooring from an old house.v,ed out the ends for feet.for a brace front to back I made a trough ,flat bottom, flared sides.oak jaws but long bolt,with crank handle.looked good just wasnt deep enough for skirts and such. Edward

looks real good. now the question I have always wondered about.what did Will James ride,maker, style ,and is there a good picture ? Edward

I posted on here before about,can,t remember what area,I,ve made 3 R.Ross has 1. I like useing odd stuff to make things. made these from a sulkey hay rake tooth,good steel. short section ,chuck it up in the drill press and filed down a stem. to make it like a tandy knife. went to the vise ang draw filed 8 sides, I despise knurling.ended up with a taper ,from top to bottem.for the yoke I used a section of auto brake line,yoke was a cross section from motorcycle handle bar,then cut that in half.why do you need ball bearings? a fellers fingers can,t work that fast.just a finger and thumb going back and forth.after I finished I cut 3 rings around the top spaced apart,and hammered in some silver wire,cleaned it up and blued it with cold blue.I like the taper and the 8 sides give you a good grip.and it kooks kinda neat too,I think, Edward

are,nt those just plain neat?dang good knots. reckon what is the customary length for the release is? Edward

I,ve made 3.carbon steel. in fact made mine from old horse drawn hay rake tooth. I am not into knurling.total dislike for the stuff. mine have 6 sides and taper from the top down.the crutch is motor cycle handlebar .cut off cross section then cut the cross in half. short section of auto brake line soldered on for swivel.also inlaid 3 silver bands or rings at the top then cold blue from sporting goods or wal-mart.Edward,oh yeah R. Ross has 1 I sent to him.

thicker slab seems to help too.I sometimes use 2, one on top of the other,Edward

dang, looks good! did you make the cinch? you are also a whale of a woodworker too, I like the carving by the tube,but where is the a.m f.m.? gotta have Patsy in the background, take care Edward

3 or 4 years ago I bought one from weaver,and it came extremly sharp,Edward
