Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

[Tim Krause]

Further thought on this...the spring loaded pen would be easy to make for those 
that have a Revo or the updated z axis or the updated template follower for the 
900/1200/1800 models.  For those that don't know, those models use an aluminum 
block to hold a follower that had different sized dowel pins.  I don't have a 
photo handy. 

Also those with the updated template holder that is level with the outer rails 
would have to design a pen holder differently than the stock brackets used on 
the rest of the models.  This should be easy to figure out.

Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

[Tim Krause]

Hi Curt,

I really like this idea as a practical solution for the case of creating 
spindles  by the seat of your pants on the legacy and then needing to reed or 
cove from the side.  I'm thinking a spring loaded sharpie holder would work 
great.  It can be mounted anywhere on the template follower to make the 
pattern.  

Thanks for the food for thought.

Tim

RE: Working toward a Legacy Mill

[Bill Bulkeley]

The pictures on craigslist all seem to be under a megabit in size and should 
post ok on the group but that could be craiglist doing that find your pictures 
on your computer do not open instead

Right click on one and choose properties this will tell you how big it is if 
around 1 meg it should post or are you trying to post too many at a time all 
your pictures combined cant be much bigger than 2 or 3 meg or it won’t post.

If this is all getting overwhelming email one of your pics to me 
bulke...@mmnet.com.au and i will see if i can post it and see whats wrong

Arkady and all others,

Here is a link to their website:  http://dicoproducts.com/products.php?gid=5

The ones I have used are the:
4 inch (diameter) Wheel Brush
4 inch (diameter) Flap Brush

They come in 3 levels of "stiffness" and are colored accordingly - Coarse - 
Gray, Medium - Orange, and Fine - Blue (softest)

I have used all 3 levels of coarseness and am VERY VERY HAPPY with them.  They 
will outlast a wire bristled wheel 100 to one!  You don't get those little 
wires coming off and hitting you in the face.  Nor do they leave the little 
pieces of wire all over your work area when you are finished.  
Price-wise, they may be 2x the price - but I can assure you - WELL WORTH more 
than that!  

Example:  I have a outdoor BBQ grill that needed major clean-up.  In the past, 
I used wire wheels to clean it all down before repainting (high temp paint).  
It was quite a chore and I'd go through a couple wire wheels (good brand name 
products - not cheap China junk).  This past Spring (a year ago), I tackled the 
job again.  In preparation I bought 2 4" Nyalox wheels.  I finished the job 
using only one wheel.  I measured its diameter and compared it to the 
new/unused one.  Imperceptible difference in their diameters!  

Group Members - if you are reading this - has anyone else ever heard of the 
Nyalox brushes?  
Have you used them?  Your thoughts?

If you have not ever used them - but use wire wheels, I recommend you switch to 
Nyalox immediately. 
(Full disclosure: I do not work for Nyalox or any business that sells them; nor 
do I own stock in them.  I'm just a very impressed customer.)

those are nice table legs, (Beautiful wood!) A barley twist leg could be done

( http://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/Pugn3.htm)  If I had to bet, He 
could make those legs in less then half of the time I could make those on the 
Legacy alone.  

 

Having said that, there is almost, always more then one way to do anything. If 
you use your lathe, a peeling cut with a skew, can remove wood very fast, if 
you can get the wood close to finish size before you put it on the Legacy, your 
production time will be much shorter... (How you do that is up to you.) ;-)

Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

['Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills]

Hello Ronaldusing the original is not as easy as you would think on the Legacy, 
the brackets are made to hold flat templates. If you could mount the original 
idiom on the brackets, then you are also limited as for spacing/ clearance of 
the follower.
ONE other benefit of  using my suggested method is locating or positioning the 
work. If you mount the template/ board, in such a way it only can be mounted in 
that position after tracing out the pattern, it would much easier to re-align, 
in the future...
I use my Shop Smith duplicator a lot, for rough turnings, and then The Legacy 
to do the finals depending on what I  want to make. but ... When there is a 
will there is always a way. I believe that no one machine is its own in 
all-be-all , do everything machine.  EVERYTHING has its purpose and its place. 
AND Its just up to us, to figure out what that place is??? ;-)
I got to run.
Have a good day.C.A.G.

Hello Everyone.an Idea cam to me today, (while driving home form work.)  I have

The idea is to use the Template follower on the Legacy as a Template Maker to

If you put an already made spindle in between the centers on the Legacy, then 
set up a blank template ( just a sheet of piece of wood/hardboard/plastic) on 
the template holder.If you put a copying router bit, (or any bit with a ball 
bearing guide on it.)  You can trace the turning.Now all that you need to do it 
, put a pencil or marker mounted on the Legacy's follower (where the guild

When you run your ball bearing bit along the spindle, the follower (with the

of  your new template. then all you need to do is cut it out, and then re-mount 
the template in your original location, to make copy/ re-production of the

Now what can make this fun, is Make any spindle you want, and once done, you 
can use the same set-up as I described. to copy your original, so you can make 
more...
The Legacy's template follower can be used for many things other then just 
re-producing from start to finish idioms.
The Legacy is NOT a copy lathe, but it can be used as one.
I personalty use the template follower for detail work, like side reeding a 
thin spindle, where I know a side cutting bit router bearing will slip and 
under cut what I plan to make. (exp. the cups that I have made over the last 
few weekends)
Legacy made a few y ears ago, a video called Profile following. in this video 
they used a template to make a number of different idioms by using the follower.
The sky is the limit.

By using some simple ideas. you can make much more then you ever dreamed of.

Arkady and all others,

Here is a link to their website:  http://dicoproducts.com/products.php?gid=5

The ones I have used are the:
4 inch (diameter) Wheel Brush
4 inch (diameter) Flap Brush

They come in 3 levels of "stiffness" and are colored accordingly - Coarse - 
Gray, Medium - Orange, and Fine - Blue (softest)

I have used all 3 levels of coarseness and am VERY VERY HAPPY with them.  They 
will outlast a wire bristled wheel 100 to one!  You don't get those little 
wires coming off and hitting you in the face.  Nor do they leave the little 
pieces of wire all over your work area when you are finished.  
Price-wise, they may be 2x the price - but I can assure you - WELL WORTH more 
than that!  

Example:  I have a outdoor BBQ grill that needed major clean-up.  In the past, 
I used wire wheels to clean it all down before repainting (high temp paint).  
It was quite a chore and I'd go through a couple wire wheels (good brand name 
products - not cheap China junk).  This past Spring (a year ago), I tackled the 
job again.  In preparation I bought 2 4" Nyalox wheels.  I finished the job 
using only one wheel.  I measured its diameter and compared it to the 
new/unused one.  Imperceptible difference in their diameters!  

Group Members - if you are reading this - has anyone else ever heard of the 
Nyalox brushes?  
Have you used them?  Your thoughts?

If you have not ever used them - but use wire wheels, I recommend you switch to 
Nyalox immediately. 
(Full disclosure: I do not work for Nyalox or any business that sells them; nor 
do I own stock in them.  I'm just a very impressed customer.)

Hello Ira

those are nice table legs, (Beautiful wood!) A barley twist leg could be done 
in 45 min  if you start form scratch. But there are ways to get the job done 
much faster is you plan,and remove the waist before putting the wood on the 
Legacy.  Mike Pung has shared his radio lathe duplicator with us in the group. 
( http://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/Pugn3.htm)  If I had to bet, He 
could make those legs in less then half of the time I could make those on the 
Legacy alone.  

 

Having said that, there is almost, always more then one way to do anything. If 
you use your lathe, a peeling cut with a skew, can remove wood very fast, if 
you can get the wood close to finish size before you put it on the Legacy, your 
production time will be much shorter... (How you do that is up to you.) ;-)

 

Mac. what you are thinking of is called a reversing gear. so you can make both 
left and right pitches on the Legacy.  

A reminder to everyone, OUR favorite son.(Mr. Tim...) Made a number of quick 
change gear sets, not so long ago.  I own one and Love it.

I don't know if he is willing to make them again, but I do know that he has the 
files and might be persuaded to have someone else make them... When there is a 
will there is ALWAYS a way to get the job done.  But asking if the first step. 
;-) 

 

Its time for me to hit the hay now.

Have a good night.

C.A.G.

Mac so you are only the second person to catch that all 4 legs twisted the same 
way. That was one of the first things I did with a twist leg. Here is the legs 
I’m working on now for 2 end tables. They are Black Walnut. I wiped one with 
mineral spirits to show the color. Just curious but how long does it take you 
all with the LOM?   Ira

Ira,
Nice sofa table.  I notice that all 4 legs have their "twist" going the same 
direction.  On a Legacy Ornamental Mill (LOM), if you have the adapter/gear 
piece (don't recall its proper name) that is placed into the gear train, you 
are able to produce twists in the opposite direction.  That's a really nice 
feature.
As regards sanding:
