Attachment: Tenon Replacement.jpg (57k)
I bought a Normandy Plateau key at auction a few months ago and either I didn't notice or it was damaged in shipping, but it arrived with a badly broken bell tenon.
I put it on the shelf while I considered my options and finally went for it last night and replaced the tenon. It was my first job like that and it actually went very well.
I used a 1" counter-bore from Votaw Tools as well as one of their tenons. I did have to trim the tenon a bit but not a big deal.
A little scary, but slow speed on the lathe and a glove to hold the body and all went well.
Not the best picture but here it is before trimming and cork. In the pic it looks like the tenon is sitting a little proud, but a small amount of filing on the other end made up for it.
