The
railing on the front vise is held secure with a through-wedged tenon.
When in use the vise is kept parallel by inserting a bronze pin into
the proper hole on the railing. |
 |
The
tail vise is designed specifically to hold plates for violins, violas
and cellos. The 4" wide vise has mighty holding power inside the jaws. |
 |
Traditional
mortise and tenon joinery is used in the trestle style base. The side
rails are permanently glued and pinned in place. The front and back
rails are made removable for ease in transportation. |
Made of Hard Maple and Rosewood. Finished with Waterlox varnish and wax. Designed by Roman Barnas, head of the violin department at North Bennet Street School, these benches were made to outfit the school with a proper work surface for students in the department. Thirteen benches were made in all, seven being for the school and six for graduating students. |
