Gerald Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Posted February 27, 2017 Here is my first and have to say I think weight might be the way to go Steve Krumanaker and HARO50 2 Quote
Ron Altier Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Gerald, the one you made looks like it has more slope than his. What are your dimensions? Does it work OK? I could not make out what he said when he said a printable version would be available. Thanks Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote
Gerald Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 The printable version is in the comments at the bottom and you will have to expand comments. When printed the size is not proportional and it has to be enlarged which I had trouble doing. The one I did does not match the profile so does not flip well. The center is 27.5 mm , length 90mm and ends 20mm . One of my ends is smaller. I do believe it will do better with the weights. Only had time to do one today Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote
HandyDan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 He said Maple works good. I'm hearing Hard Maple for the weight. Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote
Stick486 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 cool ways to do ''others''... thanks... Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote
Steve Krumanaker Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Okay, I've watched the video a couple times, the maple one is just wood, is that right? Hickory is a pretty heavy wood I wonder if it would work well? Those things don't look like they should do that to me. Steve Quote
HandyDan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I found this site. It has some extra details and a printable PDF. http://jonathanjamieson.com/projects/kururin/ Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote
Ron Altier Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks Dan, I got my template ( eighth inch pressed board) made and glued up some Hickory. I'll let it set a few hours and give it a try. I am going to drill quarter inch holes in each end and screw in set screws. Let you know how thing worked. Still picture if it don't work.....video if it does p_toad 1 Quote

Ron Altier Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Guys, my first attempt did not go well. I've never turned with a template before and I did not get the dimensions correct. It does work, but takes more force to make it move and don't go far. Oh well another try tomorrow. Quote
