Great piece there William. Shame about the first one but its the little mistakes that make us learn and I bet you never do that again! Great jig there and love the base you created. I have been playing around trying to make something similar (you may have seen in my touch of gold video a few weeks back) but you have given me some great inspiration for a better setup. thanks
Great video. Thanks very much for posting. I suppose it is for safety but it would drive me crazy that I can not lock the router in the on position. I would have to jury rig a work around for that. I would rather have both hands free to guide the jig.
Yes I make mine from nylon or wood as I need them, mainly when `i need to follow the contour of the project. But often for straight work not needed at all.
A very impressive jig for sure William. One drawback, and there aren't many, with our lathe is that frankly pathetic spindle locking set up. I now, always. use the indexing pin to lock the spindle, possibly for my sins later down the line, but it does lock it solidly, when screwed tightly home. Cheers Mike
Interesting topic. However, the darn background music makes it impossible to understand what he is saying. I simply could not watch the entire flic due to this observation. Kill the background music as it does nothing to the value of the program.
That took some ingenuity, but you truly did bring out the wonder of that piece! It truly makes a beautiful pot!
Thank you again Tracy, its surprising what you can find in your firewood!
Great video. Very useful tips on the jig.
Good save William! Enjoyable & informative video!
Paul Jarman thanks Paul, I’m really enjoying this tool!
Looks great.
Thanks again

Thanks for commenting John. Yes, a big learning curve for me and Im making it up as I go along! No blood drawn or breakages, (yet) !
I think we all do that lol. Indeed, thats all that counts and hey if there was blood, we would still carry on! lol
Yes, just stop for some cussing....
Where can I purchase those tools?

Thanks Steve, Im not 100% sure but I think mine should lock but it does not always stay on, I should take a look at now that you mention it.
Put the guide bush on the next stud up and use some double stick tape to fix it
Nylon bushings used in closets found at a hardware store can be bored out to necessary interior width for specific router cutter.

Too true as well Mike, about the spindle lock ont he 1628 is about about much use as a chocolate fireguard! Paul's index plate and arm lock it solid.
👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Like all things practice with new tools before the show piece I'm sure the next will be perfect
Barry Cook thanks Barry, next project a simple faceplate task on a small platter, so hopefully will get it right first time!
