A Hold fast is an accessory used on a woodworking workbench and in blacksmithing to fix a workpiece to the top or side of the bench while it is being worked.A hold fast is shaped like a shepherd's hook. In use, the shank fits loosely into a hole in the top or side of the bench and the tip of the hook is pressed against the work. The hold fast is set by rapping the top with a mallet, which causes the shaft to wedge against the sides of the hole. It is released by hitting the back side. * While "artisan" hold fasts continue to be made as steel castings, or forgings, modern hold fasts are made from round mild steel bar stock using highly automated cold-working machines. Gramercy Tools markets such hold fasts, made from cold-rolled bar stock which is slightly under 3/4" (19.05mm) dia., usually 23/32" (18.25mm), for use in the now customary 3/4" dia. bench hold fast holes. The making of such a hold fast is more particularly described in the patent document (U.S. Patent 7,571,631, to Moskowitz, et. al.). |
