Nice work. I am always amazed how these preindustrial tool designs are so elegant in production and practice.

[@mitchwoodwork]

Thanks. Yes, and this one is so simple.

[@richardhutchinson4016]

I like the tips you put on your version. Are they Holly? Would be neat to do the tips in brass so they are less prone to damage. Wood/brass dovetails are so cool.

[@mitchwoodwork]

Yes, they are holly. Brass would look good too, but maybe it would be more likely to damage the work? Perhaps I'll try next time.

[@ikust007]

Agree

[@ikust007]

Merci !

4 foot is quite enough for me :)

[@mitchwoodwork]

Shoji are where I see this large one being most useful for me.

MITCH : what is the amber object in your video ?
Also: would
Prefer to
Make one like yours .

[@mitchwoodwork]

Roughly where abouts in the video? I'll need to watch it to find out.

[@ikust007]

@@mitchwoodwork all the time ! It looks like a long amber thingny

[@trinitytoo]

The amber coloured chisel handle? Lying on the bench?

[@mitchwoodwork]

@ikust007 It is, as suggested, a chisel handle, on an old marples chisel.

[@ikust007]

Any videos on yours ?

[@mitchwoodwork]

Sadly not. I wasn't too well at the time I made it, and couldn't concentrate on making, photographing and filming comprehensively. I do make them to sell now, so next time I'll try and film it.

[@ikust007]

Thank you MITCH!

Interesting build- but why are you paying for a kit? (Just looked- £66!)
Brass 1" square tubing is available, and cost around £2-£3 for enough to make the hardware. Comes in mill, brush, or bright finish- I use mill and just run some emery cloth over it. Thumb wheels are readily available, or use a butterfly nut.
Nylon washer- I use a U shaped piece of shim brass. The frame retains this, and it gives excellent protection to the wood.

[@mitchwoodwork]

Absolutely, but the kit was a gift from a generous viewer.

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

@@mitchwoodwork Nice gift!

So this is just a really complicated version of a Gunter Batten

[@mitchwoodwork]

There was I thinking it was dead simple 😆
