a hand forged set of two low carbon steel bench holdfasts (S275JR Steel), 8" 200mm drop 4-" 100mm arms with forged head,
12mm diameter for reenactment living history woodworking use, hole size is dependent upon bench thickness
nominally 14mm for a 50mm thick bench (we advise testing on a piece of scrap wood first, use with a piece of
pine to protect the workpiece) based on the moxon 1677 example. a low cost holdfast that does the job being
well suited for living history reenactment woodworking, see the short video (we have a longer one on youtube)
made in sheffield england by daegrad tools, secure by using a wooden mallet only
for earlier period woodworking there are two examples in "the youth of christ" by Hieronymus wierix dated to 1563
