Quick update...

  I did not have access to my camera today so just a description of what I worked on.

  I worked on the end uprights for the frame.  These hold the other ends of the arbors (axles) of the clock.)  In a previous entry, I had put in the vertical uprights in the center of the clock.  These uprights go on the end of the clock and are held in by pins.  In order to make these, I need to fix some tools and make a few new ones.  Here is a quick rundown...

  * Made a new rectangular drift to match the size of the pins on the frame.  This will be used to make the holes in the new pieces.

  * Fixed a few chisels.  They had been resharpened enough that the bevel of the chisels was getting too severe.  I reforged their cutting edges and rehardened them.

  * Made a new bolster plate to match the drift made up above.  If you ever do drift work with metal, it is important to have a matching bolster plate if you are concerned about the finish of the metal.

  After doing the bit of tool maintenance, I made one of the end posts.  This was really a fairly acedemic process of punch and drift.  I also made the pins to hold the post in place.  I didn't get to the post for the other end as I had some other stuff to take care of.

Pictures to follow.
