Made as per McKenzie.
Steel rod run through the hickory board which is bolted to bench top.
Sits in another piece on floor with an hole to accept steel bar,(aka.bearing)
The rotational resistance is achieved by the cross bolt in the board holding the bar vertical.
The large board with the steel on the bottom,is an fixture i made for working on national guitars.
The shaft fits the sleeve of the vertical shaft.
I also have a shaft with a plate,on which any bench vise can be mounted.
McKenzie said he used one while working on Purdy's in England.

Mike:
What are you using to hold the work on a vise like this? Simple bench vise or something like a machinest vise?
This really shows how easy it can be if you have an inventive mind.
BTW: Enjoy the labor day break w/ the last silver run and moose season starting.

Would this be a H&C stand, or do you use it with a normal graver?
