Alan,

That is one nice jig. You certainly are innovative.

Your legs look pretty good as well. Very well done.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

That’s the way to make a jig – out of metal. I like wooden furniture, but tools need to be made of metal!
Nice blog on the construction and use. Thanks for the post.

Pretty cool. I have never used 80-20 before just Bosch.

Great job!

You know, with some turned metal parts, you could probably produce something similar to a legacy ornamental mill out of that!

Alan:
Very neat jig. I love building things but this time I succumbed to a pre made jig.
I was doing some spirals ( barley twists) at the time and a have not had a chance yet to do any fluting with it.
I offer it up to you guys who may not be able to get your hands on the necessary parts to build what Alan has done so well.

I believe the thing wss in the $100.00 range.

Good thing you reminded me !

So Bob, where’d you get that jig? I did a quick search and can’t seem to find it.

Thanks Bob … I guess you can ignore the PM I just sent.

I’m impressed by all this fancy stuff, this is one part of wood working I would love to learn turning. I’m sure someday I’ll be set up some where that I’ll have enough room for a lathe?
