Thanks for an excellent demo'. Do you have a page showing how to process making the jig? Also, a parts specification.

Re-check all lighting , wall exhaust fans or fans electricity , separate incoming electrical run , don't want the whole shop without power . Are you running generator power from outside building . Motion sensors and cameras . It's a business shop right .

Thank you for making this video, mistakes and all. I've been struggling to get good results with a homemade duplicator for chess pieces, and have almost given up multiple times. Watching your process and eventual success was very encouraging.

Your storage unit looks great! I’d be interested in your build list. Thanks for posting this.

I love buckets

Fun project!

Obviously much too late, but consider checking out "Craft Supplies USA". Their kitchenware is really high quality. Instead of being a threaded insert, it is a double sized bolt that is glued into the handle. That bolt then screws into kitchenware head

I had the same issue with the thread insert for the Bottle Opener 😢

I agree Rockler sells junk these days. That being said, Tigerwood is a fairly hard wood so you either have to step your drill bit size up or buy threaded inserts like they sell at Niles Bottle Stoppers that have a knurled/textured exterior not threaded.

Your utensils could be female , that way you can use a all thread & avoid the hit or miss . Stay your course and be flexible . Also save finished measurements

Thanks for the very detailed design. I definitely will try this in my kitchen as well.

Outstanding. Thank you for this. I will try this out.

Great video Nick! I love the way you methodically solved each problem you encountered. I've often wondered how turners duplicate pieces other than doing it freehand, and this show me. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾

Best thing you can do for yourself is to take a magnet and run it along the wall and try and find the drywall screws and then measure 16 inch on center from there

Awesome project. Great video thank you very much.

I'm not sure if were watching timelapse but it doesn't look like you're spinning anywhere near fast enough to use carbide, I've always found the faster you spin the smoother it cuts. coming from a machinist background...metal doesn't work the same way haha

Don't even bother with hardwood! You could try something nail hard like the nailer plates used on construction framing to protect electrical wiring from someone driving a nail into it. You might need to use STEEL that you can polish & harden. Your best bet would be to test mild steel and see how long those guides last to evaluate whether you're going to be cranking out enough pieces to get involved in using tool steel (basically spring steel) and annealing it soft to speed up shaping and polishing, and then re-harden (heat cherry red and quench) & temper it (heat shining surface to light straw color not letting it turn dark or blue). You could start with hard steel and grind the shape, but that will cause heat that to avoid, will take forever to make bigger pieces like the candle holders. You are going to find that if your "feeler" stop isn't as sharp as your cutting tool, it will limit the sharpness of your inside angles to the shape of the point on your feeler. Your inside and outside angle cuts will only be as sharp as the radius of the point on your feeler stop, and the sharper you make your feeler stop, the faster it and the part guide will wear. Both need to be hard enough to save you excess retooling! There's can be a lot involved in setting up a manufacturing process, but when you figure things out, the boom in product yield is like hitting the jackpot! Good luck to you!

😃👍

This is a very old and practiced way of making duplicates on the lather. 100 years old at least. Make your one sided guides made of acrylic cut on a laser, you get much smother parts that last a long time. Also allows you to scale them to what ever you want. Carry on, you might come up with something new no one thought about. There are almost more than two ways of doing one thing.

Use super glue on your template to harden it up.

I was going to use much the same method to make chess pieces. Then I thought of the knight. To remain consistent, I thought if I have to hand carve one I need to hand carve them all. I'd like to see your solution.

Has 2" dowel, wishes it were a smaller diameter. Would have been nice to have a lathe in that situation, no?😂😂

Very thorough video. Such a great idea. Yes, they sell jigs for this, but there just is something about designing and creating one yourself. You now have a new subscriber. God bless.

Curiosity and creativity definitely build confidence and resilience.

Love seeing all the steps of learning and problem solving.

Wish you all the best for your marriage :) <3

It is a very interesting and smart idea. But in my opinion, it is easier and cheaper to make this device from metal.

Turned out great man!!!

Sounds like you and Taylor Swift use the same Voice app. Nice work

Great video. I'm making a duplicator jig as well for a 6 large table legs. I'm copying a picture the client likes, so I imported it into SketchUp, traced it and 3d printed my template. I'm hoping it'll hold up well and be more accurate than cheap plywood like your first try. Love the whole process.

Really like your thought process. This is the first video I have came across of yours, but I like how you showed alllllll of the work you did to attempt at creating an awesome jig. Instead of showing a build that is yay see its done and awesome and easy. Great fresh air to see that wood working is hard and yes work at times. Can not wait to go through your other videos. Definitely wont to see you perfect this jig. Do you by chance have a laser really curious if laser templates would work better maybe out of hardstock or even acrylic. I did share this video with a turning Discord to see what other say about the jig. Keep up the awesome work. 👽

I liked this a lot! One thing- swapping out the ‘cream filling’ wooden piece for maybe some dense foam- allowing a little bit of ‘suspension/internalised’ padding?! -I am very curious if this would increase the comfort levels, as it would have the ability to slightly tilt and move with the person on it -potentially being more comfortable and positionally personalized to the sitter?!!

Absolutely loved this following your thought process, towards a good conclusion, have hit the subscribe button and look forward to more. I have already made a chess set with mixed results, so i might be making one of these and having another go

Clever idea. Making the templates out of solid wood might be better than plywood. Also, for those so inclined, could be a use case for 3D printing.

Makita! Probably the best tools globally.

When you're turning a small (nub) finial on your Bishop you should turn & near finish this part first, as it's furthest from your chuck! Workpiece vibration is your enemy here. One other problem is the amount of material you need to shift whilst making your pieces. Smaller Ø doweling would help here. Where you are turning down to anything like a point.. finishing 1 piece at a time would be better than reversing & completing 2 pcs. (I'm sure you know this already but worth mentioning again.)

This is awesome broski

So, I know it's easy to Monday-morning-quarterback these things... but it appears the confounding surprise discovery here is that wood floats? Or do you think the original plan would have worked if the casting vessel was straight-sided and therefore created enough sideways friction to hold everything in place? Regardless, very cool final result!

You can really taste the rainbow with this one💀💀

The outside turned out so cool even if it's not exactly how you wanted it to look!

The “mistake” made the outside way more interesting.

You learned a new way to make a bowl by carving it by hand with a chisel!

Bro is literally TURNING wood black

Personally i love warping, you can get so many cool shapes that would require tons of time carving to get just by orienting the grain in certain ways and turning it thin. I also like the street cred of being able to turn vessels through a 1/2" entry hole and have sub 1/8" walls, including the pith and no cracking lol (no street cred, sadly) But yeah i mostly keep logs like 4' or longer whole or halved, cut off the cracked ends when i go to process it, I'll coat the ends with paraffin if they are short or im wanting to try to keep every bit of it. Normally works great but recently this black locust tree just seems destined to crack. Even quartered and coated they are cracking, even in the face grain like 5" deep lol ...like whut? Thats a new one. I still got a lot of pieces out of it but almost anything i tried to store that was less than 3' dia has become basically unusable. I finish turn green basically all my vessels and blanks for sculpture, like spheres. Bowls ill twice turn but i dont microwave much. Even stuff you dont normally turn green ill just bump up the moisture a bit before turning it, just sooo much nicer to turn. Sanding is a bit more complicated when you do everything green but imo still worth it.

That's really cool! Thank you for making such a nicely explained video :)

I will definitely be sleeping less dumb tonight
