@od_form: Shaping the handles to get the balance right between looks, strength, and feel. Running them over the jointer almost like a shaper, stop clamped to the fence so every piece comes out the same. Was a bit worried about the tearout so I kept the last passes light and flipped every piece so the grain worked in my favour. I used the Bessey clamps for the glue-up and made 5 boxes and a prototype of this kind. The client wanted something simple, but there’s a lot behind it to make it feel right, look good, and last. The client is an architect, so it was a fun process working out the design together. @besseytool_official #woodworking #woodbox #joinery #design
