Wrapped a few things up...
I was able to complete the drift this morning after sometime on the grinder. Then I turned my attention back to the hot set. I had mostly completed the hot set last night including all the shaping and some initial cleanup grinding(as I get better, I will have to do less grinding). I even started the hole for the handle. To do the hole for the handle, a chisel is used to start the hole from either side and hopefully you meet somewhere in the middle. Then I used the newly finished drift to finish off the tool. I added a pre-made handle from Home Depot and the tool is finished.
A chronicle of my attempts to create an early clock using only traditional techniques.
