Many thanks. I have watched the video with the jig in question. Oh to be able to turn wet Sycamore all the time, those nice ribbon shavings, like carving soap !

Hello Bb, I have e mailed you, the jig is the sphere turning one.

Thanks.

Bob.

The jig is most definitely an all metal construction. Now, here is the problem - A drawing,lots of friends,family etc. ask me to make something in wood for them, when I ask for a drawing ,sizes etc., all goes quiet and I very rarely hear another word about it.So as far a drawing goes for this project, I haven't got a definitive one yet. However, there are several commercially available jigs available on line, also the website of a very clever woodturner Claude Lethiecq has details on line but, this one seems a bit ' over engineered ' and looks expensive to replicate.Heard good and bad reports on the Paul Howard jig so that's why I'm looking for some ideas from you chaps.

Regards. Bob.

Hello All, Firstly I must apologise for my language on this site but I am a hobby wood worker, specialising in woodturning. Sorry you can leave the site now ! What I'm after is some clever so and so preferably in East Kent, Thanet would be great, to make me a jig for my woodturning lathe,oops, swearing again. So if anyone is brave enough to talk to a woodturning chap I would very much appreciate it. Thanks for reading. Bob G.
