Hi everyone, this is my first post and would like to know if this is a good idea? Im very new to engraving, ive wanted to have a go for 20 odd years after admiring my dads engraved tools, now is finally the time, ive attempted to create my own engravers vice by buying a 360 degree rotating bearing, a stainless steel tea pot and an engravers hand held vice.
Firstly i screwed the rotating bearing to my workbench, sawed off the tea pot handle, drilled hole off centre in the bottom, turned it upside down then screwed the handle off the hand vice, put it through the hole and reattached the vice on the other side, then bolted the upside down tea pot onto the top of the rotating bearing. This spins full 360 degrees with the vice on top, ill post some photos a bit later but would anyone mind having a quick read of this a letting me know if its a good idea, thank you, Tom.
