Thread: Copy jig

What do you do with them Ray??
Toni

Copy a pattern

If you look close the shape on the board is for a candle stick

I have to prepare a few for Sue to then do her Barley Twists it quick and they will all be close enough to the same.

Different shapes and patterns can be used

Hi, Wheeling, thanks for the offer, but I think our Presidente would have a fit!. There is a woodturning article from him on the latest woodworker (Les Roberts)
Good to keep in touch!
Cheers, Raul

Why would he have a fit

Will have to see if I can get latest Woodworker as I don't buy mag's

Hi, Wheeling, the reason is he turns single handed, and we all have trouble trying to emulate him, with our 2 hands!
In any case, I will pass on your offer; I think it will speed copy turning of repeat items, for sure.
Cheers, Raul

Raul thats better than I can do for sure single handed (my grip is the problem)

Ray

Ray, nice one did you grind those tips your self?

David Laird does them all HSS

Hi, Ray, sorry about the delay; I am meeting some of the other members tomorrow at the workshop,I'll pass on the offer.
I am sure we can make up whatever is needed, base, holder, etc; and as you say, it will be of help either to the beginner(like me trying to get 4 turned legs to look the same)!, or to someone with problems gripping a tool handle.
Do you have a sketch of the tool holder, or a photo to get the idea?
Cheers, Raul

Hi, Ray, I just saw your first post, with all the details in it!
That will teach me not to jump the gun!

After some advice on this site in 1999, I bought an orange Copy Turn, by Woodfast. It has been brilliant when i need multiples.

Didn't know they make one got a photo

Not yet, but I will assemble it on the lathe with it's bed and take a few photos and post. It is really simple and could be used blindfolded when set up. I got my daughters to run copies on it years ago. A bit of sanding after touching up corners with a skew chisel was all it needed. A terrific finish. From lace bobbins to stair newel posts for me.
