SOLLBERGER
FLUTING JIG
FLUTING JIG
| MY SOLLBERGER JIGS ARE HANDMADE ENTIRELY OF OAK. BOTH RISER, BASE, AND LEVER ARM. THE JIG HAS LEATHER STRIPS INSIDE EACH JAW TO CUSHION THE POINT DURING FLUTING, AND LEATHER PADS ON THE PRYARM TO PREVENT SLIPPAGE. ALSO INCLUDED IS AN ANVIL TO ABSORB SHOCK TO THE TIP OF THE POINT BEING FLUTED. BOTH THE BASE/ARMS AND BAR HAVE ADJUSTMENTS, PROVIDING AN INFINITE CAPABILITY OF ADJUSTMENT. THIS SIMPLIFIES SETUP AND HELPS INSURE SUCCESSFUL FLUTING. THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY JIG THAT WILL PROVIDE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. THE PROS OF THIS JIG ARE IT'S ABILITY TO GET FULL LENGTH FLUTES AND LOW FAILURE RATE. PRINCIPAL USE IN REPLICATION WOULD BE CUMBERLANDS, FOLSOMS, AND BARNES AND ST. LOUIS STYLE CLOVIS. IN THE PHOTO IS A HIXTON FOLSOM I FLUTED USING ONE OF THESE JIGS. |
