Steady Progress

  Was able to spend a few hours on the forge.  After the successful attempt at the motif on the one of the corner posts last week made it possible to go ahead and start the other posts.  So today I cut the posts on the top part to do the motif.  I then spent a few hours and managed to get through all but one of the posts.  All of the filing to form the pattern cramped my hands up otherwise I could have gotten them all done.  Anyway, here is a pic of the three completed posts.



  The "FR" on one posts means "Front Right".  I will try to get to the other post tomorrow.  Here is picture of the original clock showing the corner posts.  Oh, I still need to the pattern on the bottom part of the posts but happy with results so far.



  I also put new hinges on my stand for my leg vise.  The hinges are much bigger than my previous set so will hopefully make it easier to use my vise at events.
