About Fettles
I often modify my tools to make them better fit a particular purpose. I call these modifications “fettles”.
In this case I built a gear box to reduce the speed of my sewing machine.
Here I made a removable collar to fit over one of the columns of the Domino jointing machine. It stops the plunge action at a shallower depth than is possible using the machine’s inbuilt settings.
Modified Zyliss Vice. Here I machined a small shelf into one of the jaws of the Zyliss Vice so that it could hold the back stretcher of the Purple Heart Writing Bag whilst I planed a groove into it.
