Working on a convex/concave forming stake, with some little brackets for holding firmly in the vise. Still needs grinding to shape and finishing.

After grinding the working surfaces of the double forming stake to shape, I case hardened them and give them a basic finish. Needs a bit more polish, but basically done.

(Kasenit isn’t especially toxic, but it sure smells nasty.)

Nice tool John & good pics to show it coming to life! Still whittling away at your supply of hex.

Thanks, Larry!

I actually have two supplies of hex (three, if you count my Wiccan friends): the mild shafting that I used for this project, and the large supply of worn-out jackhammer bits I’ve picked up from tool rental places.

(And yes, I know that traditional Wiccans don’t cast hexes, as it goes against the principle of not causing harm to others.)
