A different way.
Not my way but may interest some. Ignore the turning.

Yea it is a different way of thinking. While watching this I was thinking would it be possible to bandsaw out the spindle pattern on one side then turn down to where you cut?

Craftsman had a similar contraption accessory on some old lathes. IIRC, there were a bunch of bent-wire fingers mounted on a shaft parallel to the ways, movable along the shaft at critical points, and probably cut to lengths to suit the task at hand. When the reference diameters were reached, the fingers dropped down. Shape freehand between critical points.
This one is somewhat more sophisticated. I don't have sound (computers half shot), and maybe he mentions it, but I'd want stops to register the template reliably.

Interesting enough that if I ever need to turn a set of table legs, I might give it a go.

Is an idea but he has the jig set to high for accuracy of the pattern if copied should be on centre. As for the turning each to their own.

I just love his "roughing" cuts . That and the music put me to sleep.

Did anyone catch what the 'flapper' material was as I don't think paper would stand up to that treatment very long, in fact I doubt many thin plastics would either.
And his turning - awful, not a single curly came off his tool, he scraped the whole thing!Dragonfly
