Good morning guys!
Thank you for the kind notes.I really like to use templates, Not like I need
them but they do helpa lot to keep things as simple as possible.Jeff. On my
Legacy 1000ex and my 200 the stylist is a 1/2" ball bearing guide, And on my
Shop Smith lathethe stylist is the exact shape as the cutter that I am using.
So fine details can be added/copied. As a General note, I do use all my
equipment on everything that I do, I was taught Uniformity is the key to
success, I can switch form the Legacy to my lathe and back again to the Legacy,
with in just a few seconds with out having to change my set-up at all. This
general idea lets me make a higher quality of product, faster and easer then
using just one machine by its self.these stainless steel templates just help me
keep this concept running smoothly.the hard part about making a template is
keeping the size to scale of what I want. For me, with these ones that I made,
are for some of my bone turning. since the blanks are mostly the same size, my
templates can not be larger then the largest part of the blank, and also the
smallest part of the template can not be smaller then 1/4" or I will cut into
the brass shaft that is in the mid. of the bone blanks.And then you still need
to keep the basic shapes, to make them look nice. The hard part is keeping the
templates with in the scale you need. some templates work, some don't work as
well. I am always tweakingthe templates with a small file and or sanding a edge
to try to find what I need, for the look that I want.I plan to play with some
of these templates today.

Those should be quite durable. I like that you can use them on
otherequipment. I like that idea so much I have done that for a long time!I'm
a big believer in modularity, partly I guess because it satisfies my
OCD.

Nice, thanks for sharing Curt.
What do you use for a stylus to contact the template?

Hello Everyone.
I had some free time today, so I made these templates for my Legacy, Only one
has been tested so far, but I do think most of these should work well for my
uses.
I can use these templates on All of my wood working equipment, both of my
Legacy's as well the lathes I own.
Note: I see and use templates not as the final part of turning, but as a
general guide for basic shaping of my spindles.
Making stainless steel templates is not all that hard, by using an abrasive
cutting wheel, and some hand files + a wire wheel to remove any burs... the
process is pretty easy. (If anyone wants to know more, Please ask.)Tomorrow I
hope to be able to try some of these out on some of my bone turning.Have a good
night everyone.
