Tapered
Carving Screws Jerry-Rig's
tapered carving
screws are the better alternative to the conventional carving screw. The tapered
part of the screw is turned into a pre-drilled hole in the base or back of the
carving and tightened by using the hole in the T handle. When the screw has
penetrated the wood deep enough for secure holding, the rest of the screw is passed
through a hole in a bench or a slot on the carving arm. The T handle, which
is also the nut, is then threaded onto the screw until the work is pulled tight
against the bench. Considerable pressure can be put on the screw by tightening
the T nut. If the carving needs to be rotated, loosen the wing nut and position
the carving, then tighten again. No need to drill a deeper hole like conventional
carving screws.
