Find the piece of brown hardwood from the scrap bin. Rough it out and find out it's Purple Heart. It will be brown again shortly.
Cut the tenon, add the compression fitting and turn away.
Drill it for the handle and then the collar on the pin vise.
Test fit before clean up and finish work is done.
It's now a useful tool for many projects. I use them as awl handles for hand stitching leather.
Purple Heart scrap
3/8" brass compression fitting
Size C Starrett pin vise
Five minute epoxy
Boiled linseed oil finish
