I just found this after I watched the other video. I think you have me convinced.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Hi Tom, a good thorough Demo. Looks like a very useful piece of kit. I'm thinking it could be useful for my off center goblets too.
Take care
Mike
I think they would be great for that Mike, especially using the screw chuck. it occurred to me last night that you could make a template of the 8 different centres and then transfer that straight on to the tail end.
Cheers
Tom
great demo Tom i have been thinking of getting one for a while now
Thanks Robbie. I'm certainly very happy with mine.
Tom
I've had one for quite a while. It is amazing. Used it on bottle stoppers, pendants and platters. Enjoy my friend.
Tom,very well explained and enjoyable video.
Cheers Colin.
Many thanks Colin and thanks for commenting!

Great review Tom.
Thanks.
Chris.
Excellent review :) .. been wanting that jig for a long time .. I have been thinking about this jig and the axminster jig, it seems the Ruth Niles jig is easier to use , or at least quicker in some way .. what do you think ? .. have you seen the axminster eccentric jig? .. thank you for sharing would love to chat about pendants and the jig :)
Thanks for the advice the ìt section tom
Tom you can get a spreadsheet for this jig that will draw the different lines for you on paper. A little easier than trial and error. It works in both exel and open office. Available free here www.huntcountywoodturners.org/InTheShop/HowTo/PendantJig/tabid/513/Default.aspx Also available is a pdf document for directions.
Tom hi, any thoughts on how the Richard Joyner jig (now a bit more expensive to import) compares with the Axminster off centre jig?
Hi Richard
They are both fairly similar. There was a review in Woodturning Magazine a couple of months ago that looked at the Axminster one. Though I am happy with the Joyner, I would probably buy Axminster in the future as they both do the primary job I use them for. If, however, you would like to use Ruth Niles bottle stoppers then the Joyner jig becomes very valuable.
Cheers
Tom
Tom hi and very many thanks for your really helpful and very quick response. I (or at least Mother Christmas) will go for the Axminster jig - it is so much cheaper. Also I probably won't go the Ruth Niles way of making bottle stoppers. Much appreciate your thoughts. Regards, Richard
I have Richard Joyner’s offset system and have also download the program to make pendants. I can see how the off set and index work to make the pendant but how does the radius play a part in cutting lines. I have set both offset and index to the samples but they do not turn out. I have tried to recently on each change and also setup tape on tool rest and marked it and used the marks to cut. Neither seem to. Work. Any help? Thanks. Ray
Hi Ray
I have never used the program - I just get stuck in and see what comes out! When talking about the radius, are you meaning the radiused surface (as opposed to a flat surface) of your piece? In which case at the highest point of the radius the cut will be deeper, shallower at the lowest part...
If this is not what you mean, ask me again!
Cheers
Tom
Tom thanks for responding. The radius is on flat disc.

Bloody confusin
