burnisher, mk5. finally happy,

No WIP thread Toby, but its just a stick with a flat on it and a lump and wedge.
The only tricky bit is paring the slot for the wedge, I make the wedge oversize and plane it to fit.

Very nice job Toby =D>

Pete also made this :

Its a homemade Hawthorne and beech mallet used but still good, Hawthorne is a fantastic wood for mallets.

and I'm now the very proud owner

Cheers Mr_P

How is it holding up?

Pete

 

[Mr_P]

Very well but now requires attention. The head is now lose and slides up and down the shaft.

I'm umming and arring about what to do next.

Quick fix = binding under the head, attached to the shaft.

The whole hog = New shaft.

Its on a taper just tap it upside down on the bench.

[Mr_P]

Thanks Pete,

That does work but it doesn't seem to stay in place for long.

Apologies Toby for the thread hijack.

Edit:

Will give another try (harder tap) before I do anything drastic.

It's a double taper it should grip well try a harder tap.
