Four things, actually. Brackets for my centre bits and Sheffield brace,
and a couple of turning tools. The maple turnings were my first attempt 
at something of that sort. The brace bracket is water-stained, 
shellacked and waxed.

In order to do the detail on the top of the turnings I made a pair of 
round skews - 1/4in & 3/8in - from drill rod. Handled them with ash 
shovel-handle cut-offs courtesy of Eric Coyle. ... Photos are here:

Nice work, Don! I love projects that begin with the making of a tool or tools
for use in the remainder of the project. And that bracket for the center bits is
the cat's meow!
