new tool (sort of) Bench Stop

Bench stop!
I have an "out door" work bench out by my garage. it stays covered with a tarp most of the time.

Wood Gas Grass Groundcover Soil


I've been working against a wooden peg that frequently slips.
So Yesterday I took an old RR spike I had lying around. It is almost the right shape to start with!

Automotive tire Wood Gas Road surface Automotive wheel system


made sure I knew where my helper was:

Plant Vehicle Wood Motor vehicle Tree


lit a fire:

Charcoal Wood Ash Automotive tire Natural material


and started banging on it!

Automotive tire Motor vehicle Bumper Automotive exterior Fender


when I was happy with the shape of it, I put the fire out and let it cool. it neither needs or wants to be hardened.

Wood Tints and shades Hardwood Font Road surface


so this morning, here is my old set up:

Wood Gas Grass Groundcover Soil


Wood Leaf World Bedrock Trunk


new bench stop set so that it can be set just below the surface of the bench

Wood Natural material Table Trunk Wood stain


and in use:

Wood Table Wood stain Plant Hardwood


Wood Outdoor furniture Tints and shades Hardwood Grass


the other end is held secure by the bird's mouth and holdfast that you see there.

I should have done this last year when I made the bench plank.

be well
