Finally finished up some mechanical projects in the garage, that drug on forever! Today I had the day off, so I finally got a chance to play with the new Barracuda chuck I bought some time back. Made a one piece Diamondwood striker, and figured out that the best way to do it was make the handle first, then turn it around and cut the peg. I was pleasantly surprised as how little harmonics and vibration was compared to my old set up using a drive spur. Dramatically reducing time in making it. Anyways, here's a few pics.
