Hello Everyone.I took these photo's out of a Wood Chuck training video, named
Profile following. They show the template follower being used to make these 5
spindles, The neat thing here is they only used one very simple wooden
template to make all 5 spindles.The template is just a general guide you can
use it to make a copy of the original or use for the general profile to make
something different. in the last photo you can see that all, are different but
share the same basic shape. By using different router bits, and cutting
concepts (roping or fluting) the look can and will change.The ribbon twist
(second for the right in the last photo.) is the most dramatic, this cut was
made from cutting form the side, using both a large straight fluted cutter, and
using a LONG Pitch .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkGSMtixW1c&t=2s Bill made
this video a few years back, showing the concept.

Have a good day.C.A.G. On Saturday, February 17, 2024 at 06:16:50 PM EST,

Hey Jeff,using the template follower on the Legacy is not hard, but you will
have to get use to cutting from the side of the work, to make the profiles.Here
are a few Legacy Photo's on this concept.

Yes, you gave a quick reply within another message but thanks Curt for taking
the time to provide additional detail. I have not used my Legacy for template
work but I hope to.

Hello Jeff, I thought I replied to you, but after looking an this posting I
can find the reply. Depending on which machine I am using. both of my
Legacy's use a ball bearing set ,1/2" as the follower.My lathe uses different
shaped followers depending on the cutter that I am using. As I see it the Lathe
is for exact coping/fine details, where the Legacy is for just basic shapes.
details can beadded with the Legacy, but those details are done with the router
bits profile. so as long as my templates are trueto the spindle, they do not
need to be beyond just basic shapes.Note: having said that, I use both machine
together on most of my projects.
At this time, I am using my 200 more then my 1000, This is because of two
reasons. First the 200 is made for smallerturnings, I can cut/rope finer on my
200 then I can do on my 1000 ( note: not only size, but the 200 has a finer
acme screw drive. 5/8-8 and the 1000 has a 5/8-4 acmes screw.) But for larger
turnings 1000 is the king of the shop. and for very large turnings the lathe is
the master. (I can turn up to 8' on my lathe) BUT having said that, for what I
normally do/make in the shop I can use and do use all my tool together to get
the best quality of workmanship as I can.I hope this helps explain what I am
doing, and answers your questions.
I made another 4 templates over the last two days.If I can get my shop wormed
up today, I hope to be able to be able to play with some of these new
templates.Wish me luck. ;-) and talk to you more later.
NOTE: I am adding two pix. of my fine adjustment/template follower that I made
for my 200
Have a good day.

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.
