Clint,
A little fixture I made for shaping totes might interest you...it beats working with one end in your vise! A block of wood, some all-thread, washers and nuts...roy

Thanks for the detailed description.
Like most everyone else, I would have never thought to drill the hole first. Great idea.

Clint/ I like the tutorial. I just fix the busted totes, but I guess next time I will try one from scratch.

fwiw I find boring holes for the inner curves is helpful at the shaping stage. (scroll down a bit)

13 years later still relevant and helpful.. I was going to repair the broken horn on a restoration, but after watching this excellent article Chris shared, I will just make the whole tote. Much thanks for adding to my skill level.
