Greetings,
I just completed this project for a friend. He has built himself a wing ding workbench in beech and wanted vice handles to match :)
The brass accents where a detail he saw on the Lie Nielsen site. The speed knob is macassar ebony. Missing in the photo are the rubber o-rings. One coat of natural oil so far...
The speed knob is attached with a bolt and insert nut, the knobs are attached with 3/8" dowels. In hindsight they could have been attached with rod and insert nuts also to allow for changing of the o-rings...
BTW, I used double sided tape to sandwich the 1/8" brass bar stock between 1/8" baltic ply before rough cutting the diameters on the scroll saw, then turned them to finished size.
