[TheForge] Holdfast

[Bob Willman]

	Are you using the hardy hole or the pritchel hole? A round holdfast
will hold in the pritchel hole.

The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil
interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.

Subject: [TheForge] Holdfast


I have been trying to make a holdfast for doing hot cutting. I have the
shape right (I think) but I am having trouble. The darn thing won't stay in
the the hardie hole. I have tried several different tempers, everything from
spring purple to just hardened. I can get it to clinch in the hole, but not
on the piece I am working on. Once I got it to clinch down the piece of flat
bar stock I was cutting and the Holdfast EJECTED itself up a good two feet
in the air. 

Help me, please?
