This post is best viewed right here. But it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook in case of difficulty.
I have not turned a necklace pendant for a long time. Past time to update jigs and fixtures to make the task easier.
The main accessory is a shop-made chuck based on “Build A Shopmade Chuck For Offset Turnings” by David Mueller. American Woodturner February 2015. I have adapted this chuck to have exchangeable work platforms that interchange with the Infinite Axis Chuck that I designed.
Turning sent much easier with a couple more accessories:
- 2 screw chucks (3/8″) for direct mount of the work platform to the lathe spindle.
- Flat faced faceplate sized for target diameter also used to press double sided tape bonding.
Enjoy
