This idea was developed in detail by Shaun Hughes on his Youtube channel and this making is largely inspired by his brilliant work. Please visit his channel, which is full of ideas and examples. Here is a video showing this tool at work : https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_metal/outillage/bouletdegraveur/ Fri, 13 Mar 2015 14:43:00 +0100 https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_metal/outillage/bouletdegraveur/ Engraver’s bowl vise Here is a tool that can appear to look somewhat strange, it is a vise which aims at fixing the work-piece a metal engraver is working on. I’ve been inspired for this tool by Jean Santos, French author of the site Gravures et Couteaux . He explains that, back to the 18th century, this tool was made with a cannonball, cut in two pieces. The hemispherical shape actually serves to tilt the vise under whatever necessary angle, in order for the craftsman to work as comfortable as possible.
