Angle Rest + Groover Jig + Arbortech Mini Carver Guide  My reason for making an Angle Rest was born out of a need to have a means of holding Jigs or Guides for Projects that had an element of Repetitiveness involved, in particular an idea I had for a Deep Grooving Guide.

Chisel Holder  It helps to have a chisel holder when you are working on a lathe. Most Woodturners like to change chisels frequently, and it is a real timesaver to have them handy. Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: Shopsmith | Fix Link?

Chuck for Reverse Turnings, Centering Turning  Donut chucks and cole jaws have both been around for a long time. I decided to combine them to make a new version of a donut chuck that centers the turning. Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: TurnedWood | Fix Link?

Chuck, All Wood Collet  An earlier article in More Woodturning on turning wine stoppers got me thinking about collet chucks. I wondered if I could make one entirely out of wood. I thought this would be just an exercise to see if I could do it, but it surprised me with its usefulness. Although the All Wood Collet Chuck does not have the holding power and range of wooden jaws mounted in a scroll chuck, it does have adequate power for turning tops, wine stoppers, and the odd bit of dowel.

Jig, Ball Cutting  My final design actually gave me the potential to Turn a Ball of 180mm diameter [7 inches] and I could have added another layer of the 20mm MDF to the base and still had the capability for a 160mm diameter Ball [+6 inches], of course if your requirement is for a larger capacity then you will need to adjust the dimensions accordingly.

Jig, Bandsaw Blade Brazing  Bandsaw blades are notorious for breaking, generally because of their misuse or abuse, and there is nothing more annoying than having spent a quarter of an hour replacing and setting up a Blade to have it break the first time you use it. ... The method I describe here is for a brazed joint using silver solder and providing simple rules are followed you will achieve a strong durable joint for use with any type of wood.

Jig, Parallax (PDF)  After rejecting a couple of ideas about how to project a pattern onto the work while turning, I came up with this idea - make a jig to hold two copies if the plans, one cut along the finished contours and the other uncut, so that you can use the parallax effect to line up your eye correctly with the plans.

Jig, Sharpening - Lathe Gouge tool  By Joe in a Cleveland Suburb - A couple of weeks ago I asked about making your own sharpening jig. You all pointed me to several resources. I put all that together and came up with this version. All I did was take scrap pieces of walnut, a couple cherry plywood shorts, and some scrap poplar, glued and screwed it all together and here it is! (Not dimensions, and little instruction, but there are good pictures. Enough info to help you make your own.) Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: WoodCentral | Fix Link?
