Making a wedge,& explaining the holdfast & tailfast setup.

In this video I show how I make wedges on, and for the Roman workbench. I also discuss the use of combining the wedge with a peg, to form a make shift holdfast and tail fast.

Love your channel. Simple, useful, no damn expensive machines, nice work being done.

This is pretty interesting. I hadn't thought about not attaching the two pieces of wood, which as you said gives you an extra wedge. Have you considered using a different more flexible wood for the shaft, such as ash? Also I have seen here on KZbin a branch with a crook used as a holdfast. I reckon that this was the original style of holdfast and wood selection is probably critical, though the Romans used forged iron ones. I find the idea of wooden, either your style or crooks, very appealing indeed. Many thanks for your contribution and all the best from bonnie Scotland. 👍

The wood holdfast is going to be extremely useful on working sites. Cheers mate. From Montreal.

Excellent content there. Good length and very informative. Love the dual purpose wedges and will make some for my own roman. So, yes. A comment for the algorithm gods well deserved.

Thanking you.

This is really cool. I’d probs start with an arm (in front of the post) and a post (below the arm) in ballpark lengths to a metal Holdfast and then go from there. Either way, great video!
