Get my drift?
Today I worked mostly on a "hot set". Essentially a chisel with a handle that looks like a hammer with a pointy face. I shaped the tool and started the hole for the handle. In order to make the hole the proper size I needed to make a drift. A drift is a tool that is hammered through a hole. The drift has a particular shape that the hole takes on after the drift has been hammered through. So, after making the set, I started the drift. My arm got a little tired so I'm currently taking a break. I'm probably going to go back out for just a little while to see if I can finish the drift before sundown.
Then, its off to see Dodgeball...
