Looking for Work holding suggestions.

[R.Quecke]

Hey folks, its been a long while since i been on here. I hope everyone is well.

So my father passed a few weeks back, and my mother asked me to do the very heavy task of adorning his urns. I’m not quite sure how to hold them, its needs to be repeatable also, as i will have to do 6 of them. I have a few ideas (cutting some wood, thermolock), but there are a lot of you who have much more experience with this. Ill include a photo so you can see the shape. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Also, ill be attending the FEGA as the “emerging artist” this year, so that’s exciting, and im looking forward to meeting as many of you as i can.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad.

The Urns base may be engraved while nestled in a small soft pillow.
The top may be best held in your vise with the aid of some cut wood, pins and/or Thermo-Loc.

Congratulations on attending the FEGA show as an Emerging Artist.
May you enjoy a long and successful engraving career.
Hope to see you at the show.

a large leather bag filled with the just-right-amount of lead shot will work.
