Pendants
The local club has asked me to demo making some pendants next weekend. I haven't turned that many, and even those were a while back, so I thought I better get my eye in
Hairy Oak and one from She-oak Pods cast in purple. The pink one is the last one I turned previously from Swamp Banksia.

Is that the bought one or one you made your self? Originally Posted by dai sensei

My jig is home made from aluminium, but is for s single off-set only, to suit the pendant eye on a 45mm pendant. I use a timber spacer made from 5ply turned down to 35mm dia to which the blank is hot melt glued on, then screwed to the jig. I turn the outside and main shape whilst attached via a screw through the middle, then the eye is drilled then turned out with a fingernail gouge whilst the jig is screwed on via the outer hole. I recenter the spacer for sanding and finishing, although the final finish is using the buffing wheel.
Below are some of the photos, but if anyone would like the full handout with jig plan and step by step instructions with photographs, see here in the Library.

Another way I've seen is to wind your chuck out 'til 3&4 drop out, wind the scroll one
full turn then reinsert 3&4 . It gives you a crude offset chuck for cutting the hole.
