Hi Rob I recall seeing the build post on MM and that is a fantastic bit of kit. Could you most some info on the orange clamps you are using to secure that "wee" block of steel?

I'm quite impressed with those toolholders Rob, and since I'm in the business of "knowing cutting tools" I can tell you they look as good if not better than many of the commercially made ones.
Myself I just can't justify making something I can buy for little money (on eBay or other seller's websites), though I applaud that level of effort! I also want to know if the finish is a grit blast or some plating (or both?)
BTW, your photography is far above"tyro" level too. What are you using for lighting?

Very nice Rob what professional work you've done on the tool holders
Puts my effort to shame but it's it good to make your own as long as they work and save money
mfletch, Try to do the best you can and that's good enough
