https://www.magnate.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=230192 this router bit would give you the cut you are looking for. ( A rope with the two flats.) If I had to guess I would say a 1" or larger (what ever the dia. of the spindle is what I would use.) If I were going to make these, I would use both the lathe and the Legacy.On your spindle you have only three types of cuts, The Roughing cut. and then two final cuts.The Transition cuts around the squares will be hardest trickiest part. this could be done in a number of ways. A very small beading bit (most likely a 1/8") for the transitions cuts by the squares.(I would do this on my lathe. but there are other ways to make this cut.) (even a hack saw blade could work on this cut, after a light cut form the 1/8" beading bit's cut to deepen the cut...?) The bead/ball on the top looks like it uses the same as the rope, If so the classical plunge router bit could do everything else. ONE other note. Just so we are talking the same, a Pitch is . How far the spindle moves for one full rotation. It really dose not matter where you measure your cut form. I think I 3" pitch would work just as well as a 2 1/2". By eye it would be pretty hard to tell the difference as long as everything is the same. (uniformity is the key!) I hope this helps you out?Please let me know what you think? Have a good day. C.A.G.

Are the flats your referring too were the yellow arrow is pointing in the pic. If so they would be done after you mill the barley with a planning bit of the appropriate width using the same pitch as the barley.as for other gears you may need you will have to find a laser cutting person to make them for you anyone here with a with a legacy 1000 could give you the sizes to give the laser cutter.i hope that is what your asking Bill

This is the original message with the question in it. attached is the image of the sample balusters. I am reproducing five balusters that have a double-start barley twist. A normal double-start twist, I would usually make by hand. These balusters have four flats that parallel as a transition between each bead and cove along the twist. These make it very difficult to work by hand. I have gained access to a legacy 1000 mill. Unfortunately, the travel of the twist is 2.25 inches. That means that I either need a 2.25 or 9 gear; the latter could be used with the .25 reduction gear. Unfortunately, the normal gear sets don't include either gear. Not only have I never used a legacy mill, but I know little about making gears or working metal. ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: bulke...@mmnet.com.au Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2021 3:02 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Looking for some new projects.

I attached an image of the barley twist and a series of photos of a style of box I have been making lately. One of the difficulties with the twist is that the travel may not be constant throughout its length. I have only the two examples, and it is difficult to be certain what is happening. anthony ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2021 12:42 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for some new projects. Sorry I did not see your reply to the bone question. Do not boil your bone. a hot water bath will not hurt the bone, but boiling will weaken the bone. Hydrant peroxide a 2-3% will remove the oil and whiten up the bone, if left to soak in it for a week or two. here are some pix. of some of my turnings. C.A.G.

I guess that you might need to boil it first. Most of the bone I have worked with has a fair amount of oil in it. I have had some boiled bone, it seems leached of oil, but I have never turned it. I am primarily a turner. I have turned lots of things, but lately been making boxes for fun and balusters and similar things for money. anthony ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2021 7:26 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for some new projects. Very Nice Anthony! Awesome wand. Where did you find A Giraffe femur? What I have been doing is cutting bone disks out of Cow bones, and then gluing the disks into a solid blanks for my turnings. sorta like making bone Plywood. It take more time to make the blank then it dose to turn it. But the results are very nice. Please let us know more about what you are doing. C.A.G.

I have turned a couple of kinds of bone, this wand is made of Giraffe femur. It is the densest bone, and has the largest cross section that I have used. The other materials are Blackwood, Bocote, Pink Ivory, Boxwood, Verawood, Satine, and Osage Orange. I call it the Eveready Swiss Army Utility Wand. Had to get the magical batteries, the small pieces that screw into the base of the handle, by seagull, the owls can't fly across the Atlantic, from the Eveready shop in Diagon Alley. The toothpick was necessary to quality for Swiss Army. anthony ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2021 8:20 PM To: Legacy ornamental mills Subject: Looking for some new projects. HI everyone. I hope everyone is well? Its COLD in my shop, So I spent most of my day staying inside. I've been looking for projects to play with on the Legacy and or my Lathe. On the internet today. I want to do some more bone turning, I have already cut out a number of bone disks, I am looking forward to gluing them up into something that I can turn, soon. The problem is What should I make? I don't like pen's! I have already made a number of magnify glass's and other kits type of projects. I have gone to a number of dollar stores and hardware and thrift stores, looking for cheaply made things that can be re-worked. but so far no luck finding anything new. So I thought I would ask you all. Dose anyone know of a nice projects, that you like to make? Family heirloom type of stuff. Perhaps a letter opener? or ??? Any and all ideas are welcome. Looking forward to talking to you all more. Have a good night. C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
