On this week's show, we start part one of a multi part build to make a lathe duplicator. I hope you enjoy the show. Don't forget to like and subscribe and as always, thank you for tuning in to the show. I appreciate your support.
Ken, shop projects are some of my favorite videos. This one is no exception, great idea. I like the way you built the shelf, that alone could have many uses. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. Super idea my friend.
Thanks for the kind words on the show Paul. I enjoy making these types of projects as well. Thanks for tuning in again this week sir. I hope that part two doesn't disappoint.
Kenny, possibly a stupid question but when you made the first cut you marked it out with one of those jigs I asked about in an earlier video and cut it on your table saw. I would have just measured from the fence to inside of the blade on the table saw and cut it. Is your method more accurate and if so how/why? Regards Garry
Not a stupid question at all Garry and in fact it's a great one and it all has to do with editing. My initial thought process when I first started laying out this project for filming was that I would complete the layout of the base on camera so that the audience could see what the final shape of it would be and then I would cut it. After laying out the initial lines for the overall dimension of the jig's base, I realized that the excess material was getting in my way so I changed gears and just cut it on the table saw and finished up the layout on the smaller sized stock. Truth be told, I should have just edited out that first layout segment and saved a lot of chit chat by just saying to "cut the base to the following dimensions". It's reasons like this that people say I talk too much on my show. LOL. Set your fence Garry, lock it down and cut the base without worrying about the initial layout lines. Thanks for the great question though. I appreciate you engaging the conversation and I also appreciate you tuning in to the show.
Great video. For this plan, what dimensions would I need to adjust to increase the diameter I can work with? My lathe has a 12" swing and I am looking at projects starting with blanks up to 10". Thanks.
You would need to adjust the height of your tool rest for starters David to make it so that the tool rests at the centre of your head stock. You might also have to adjust the width of your platform to give more room for the tool rest to be supported while working on larger pieces. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
The rulers that I use are called T-rules and they are made by INCRA. They are available at most woodworking suppliers or from INCRA themselves. They are a little pricey but worth every penny for the ease that they add to layout. Here's a link to Lee Valley for the rule. www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=58877&cat=1,43513,58883,58877. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your question. I appreciate the support.
There are no plans for this build. The video was done in such a way as to be able to follow along and build your own version of this project. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Unfortunately, I do not. This show was produced before I started offering pdf files of projects. If you follow along in the video, you can easily get all the dimensions that you need. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in Svend.
