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.  Not only have I never used a legacy 
mill, but I know little about making gears or working metal.


Do you have a suggestion?
Perhaps my previous message only reached you rather than the group as a 
whole.

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.

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.

I bought the femur at

Atlantic Coral Enterprise, Inc.
5000 Crescent Technical Court
St. Augustine, FL 32086
Outside FL: 1-800-624-7964
Inside FL: 904-797-7478

I have never glued bone before.  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.

 Magnate sells a Legacy package of there router bits. depending on what your 
price range all are good.the 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" flat bottom router bit is the 
work horse of the machine. https://www.magnate.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=26  
this is the link.  
My wife told me when I bought my machine, buy what you want, don't worry about

Bill your hollow/ core box idea is a good one, Another suggestion is to put 
another spindle inside the first, and if you reverse the pitches (the one 
inside and the outer pitch.) it makes a very neat contrast that is hard to 
figure out how it was carved. ;-)  another bonus would be that the center will

The Gears will give you the pitch, not starts. (sorry, this is going to get

Pitch is how far, you travel in your cut, for every full rotation of the

As a General rule of Thumb, a good looking rope is normally 3-4 times the 
diameter of the spindle being turned. So if you have a 1" spindle a 3" or 4" 
pitch would look best. But the same pitch with a larger spindle (lets say 4") 
would look more like an All-thread rod...

Here are some files on this topic. I hope they help?

 

The Math links are more to the roping, and the dividing are more for reading or 
fluting. 

I will try to find Legacy's training videos. (My links no longer work.) 

 

Legacy made a number of video's on milling topics. Most were put onto DVD or 
VHS tape. They also put a number on You tube.

For the time being...

 

Mike Pung has some very good video on his own methods of turning, that are 
different form what Legacy teaches. I think Mike's concepts are a bit less 
confusing. check these out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjcFpO51upw=9s

If all else fails, I have my own methods that I use. that work's very well for

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

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.

Im a total rookie, but here goes i used a piece of pressure treat 4x4, spun
it round on my wood lathe i used a straight bit to get thru, and a 1/4
round with the bearing cut off to get the spirals round the pitch is  what
ever came on my 1000, not sure i got a lot to learn and i just eyeballed my
starting points, thanks for asking , ive been intriged with spirals since i
was a kid?, having fun actually making some at 50 , i remember seeing a
router crafter when i was 7 years old always wanted one now i have a legacy
and im stoked, cant wait to learn more, all the mods you guys have on your
machines are hard to comprehend, really cool stuff, i need to really pay
attention

Basements are great for seasoning and storing wood as long as the wife doesn’t 
mind sharing the same space with her wardrobe; most weekend woodworkers/turners 
have their shops there here in the northeast not something I recommend due to 
the noise and dust but any shop is better than no shop especially when it’s a 
consistent 60-68°F.

Hey we had a heat wave here the temp only got down to -17 below. lol

Basements are great. about 90 percent of them have basements in minn. 

We have tile around our newer addition and the older part has a stone & morter, 
topped with a

couple courses of block. All the older part from the 40's. Not finished in old 
part. We do have

a few streams coming through the old basement and it goes right to the floor 
drain. 

The new part we have a sump pump that the tiles drain into. 

Basements are great. But some times the single level would be better. We have 3

Hello again everyone, this topic has taken off...

 

First with Bill's heat.  I suggested a few years back, when he was re-building 
his house and workshop, to earth berm his house and perhaps even dig a basement.

he said that this kind of things just were not done over there.  Earth is an 
good insulator for both hot and cold.

 

As for me, I have a two car detached un-heated work shop, I use a radiant 
Kerosene 
heater.https://www.amazon.com/REMINGTON-REM-80-OFR-Radiant-Heating-Square/dp/B07GF9JQ1F
 I very much like my heater. its not as cheap as it once was to use, but this 
heater is quite and heats the shop nicely when I am working out there. I 
normally go through appx. 50 gal per winter. 

For me digging another basement and earth breaming my place just isn't as easy 
in  a city environment. ;-(  But perhaps... anything can be made possible. ;-)

 

Take care everyone, It's  -12 F* out tonight. Stay worm.

thanks for replying back. Always interesting to hear what others are using. 

Have you ever had to put in any parts? Sounds like it works pretty well for you.

Tell me a little more about the wall unit you're using?

 

You're very welcome on the weather. I never like to keep things for myself and

Hello Brett

The Gears will give you the pitch, not starts. (sorry, this is going to get 
confusing. Let me start again.)

 

Pitch is how far, you travel in your cut, for every full rotation of the 
spindle.

 

As a General rule of Thumb, a good looking rope is normally 3-4 times the 
diameter of the spindle being turned. So if you have a 1" spindle a 3" or 4" 
pitch would look best. But the same pitch with a larger spindle (lets say 4") 
would look more like an All-thread rod...

The number of starts is normally done with the spacing of your cut. which is in 
part, both the pitch and the size of the router bit used. (spacing of the 
cut/or space left, in-between your cut.)

Here are some files on this topic. I hope they help?

 

The Math links are more to the roping, and the dividing are more for reading or 
fluting. 

I will try to find Legacy's training videos. (My links no longer work.) 

 

Legacy made a number of video's on milling topics. Most were put onto DVD or 
VHS tape. They also put a number on You tube.

For the time being...

 

Mike Pung has some very good video on his own methods of turning, that are 
different form what Legacy teaches. I think Mike's concepts are a bit less 
confusing. check these out.

If all else fails, I have my own methods that I use. that work's very well for 
me. (but I don't want to muddy the water any more than what I, already have.) 
We can go over my ideas latter. ;-)

 

Have  a good night.

 

C.A.G.
