Workshop Teaser – Cutting and Soldering the Shoes on Roubo Squares
After the blade-and-beam are prepped and trued with the reference square from Chris Vesper I cut and shaped the shoe being soldered to the outer edge of the beam.
Then I prepped the surfaces themselves by cleaning them with 400 grit abrasive paper, and placed them together with flux in the contact of the joint. The square was held in place simply by placing it between two fire bricks.
A propane torch and some wire solder finished the task.
A little clean-up and the square was ready to get to work. Now do that several more times and you have a nested set.
This workshop will be June 20-22, 2019
