June 30, 20242 yr Will be taking the hammer rack class at Peter's Valley in July with Peter Braspenninx. Long time admirer of his sculpture (check it out if you want to be wowed by super clean and precise forging) and feel lucky to get into the class. Decided to try one of his wedged tennon joints in a piece of 1/2" mild I had laying around. Pretty happy with the results except the length of the double set down used to make the tennon. Hope he has a trick for making it closer to the required 1/2" length. Maybe using 1/4" thick stock for a spacer to do the setdown and let it expand to the 1/2" length when the width gets fixed?
June 30, 20242 yr That's a nice piece, I like it. Thanks for the tip, Mr. Braspenninx has done some really impressive work, I'll have some good viewing going through the pics. Frosty The Lucky.
