Thank you for the useful tricks and ideas
I will test the stabilizing hand, indeed difficult to stay without moving when the hood is down (learned a new word, thanks
I generally use only one hand, but the second one helped nicely for the block, when in the end I switched back to one hand (but the other was grabbing the table) I felt so much the quietness of the other, that I think I will try to switch again, I think the sustained hand learns to stay quiet and can repeat the sensations later.
A good grip handle just in front and below the piece gig should be excellent. I will make that , plus a protection for the poor vice...
I had no much luck dragging whatever the rod angle used the bead was too round, and did not want to enlarge, I wonder if better than dragging, lightly touching the piece from time to time help to keep the arc lenght, providing a tactile repere.
Best regards and many thanks again
