    Homemade cross-dowels (aka barrel nuts)

    As part of a repair/refurb on my workbench, I made up two cross-dowels for use in homemade vice assemblies. The barrel nuts are made up of a piece of 1" ID plain black pipe and a 5/8" acme-threaded nut. I followed this process: - cut a slot in the pipe (for the nut) using a metal-cuttting...

    Homemade Vacuum Chuck

    I didn't realize the Holly had so much spalt until I turned it round. Fortunately, I've got a lot of it. I used the example Steve did on his for the chuck portion and a threaded lamp rod through head stock from the example on Woodturners Resource. As I've spend way too much money on turning...

    Maple Gloat and a Homemade Steadyrest

    Rob hooked me up with some Maple he had just cut. One had a whole bunch of greyish/purple stains through it. Such a shame as it was a nice piece of wood, so I burned it. I wanted a steady rest for some upcoming projects. I saw some of the homemade ones and decided that was what I wanted to do...

    As you'll remember I recently visited Scott Smith where HE and Rob and I welded up my captured hollowing system. Well Fri. night I finally was able to get some time to make my 3/4" boring bars(my 1/2" bars are a mix of homemade and Kelton tools.) Here are my 3/4" bars.

    Turner's Slide-Rest, Homemade in Wood

    There are times when I wished I had a cross-slide rest for my wood-lathe, for those special cuts where precise repeatability is wanted, such as cutting an identical, angular groove in several pieces (it is this feature that I need to be able to put "dish" into model wagon-wheels, for example)...

    Here you can see the levels I identifed in the drawing before actually doing any cutting. I removed the deepest background (level 1) first then removed each subsequent (shallower) level until all levels were hogged out.
