Jigs for turning

(1/3) > >>

Derek:
Yesterday spent the day making a couple of jigs as I am starting another turning project and realised that I need some way of holding a sphere so that I can hollow them. If the wood was large enough I could have hollowed after turning the outside.
Anyway around the problem is a doughnut jig, while I am at it some kind gentleman from another forum made me a couple of bits for another project so I completed that one as well.
I know the piece in the doughnut jug is not a sphere but it is the piece that I need for the job.
The first is the small doughnut jig. And the second an earing hole jig.

I still want a larger doughnut jig as well as a steady rest I have all the materials for these so may even get around to them sometime

Twisted Trees:
I use the doughnut jig too, not made or used the earring one perhaps I should

The Bowler Hatted Turner:
Sometimes the making of the jigs is more enjoyable than making the object.

Yes it is. Today however I had a very enjoyable day at my local woodturning club listening to Joey Richardson give a demonstration
