Hi everyone,
I am thinking of approaching a blacksmith to order some forged holdfasts but I am at a loss as to what specifications should be given. Although the Gramercy hold-fasts are readily available I would like to support a local craftsman.
My quandary is that I have no idea what specifications I should give. For the sake of utility I plan to make the holes in my workbench 3/4" in diameter as I am partial to the Veritas bench dogs and related tools - that diameter would accept the Gramercy holdfasts according to their website.
Does anyone have any advice on what specifications should be called for? Or should I just find a 'smith who is happy to engage in a bit of trial and error to get a holdfast that will clamp well?
