sled

THAT IS CLEVER! To be remembered. From now, who needs a lathe for turning columns? Thanks for sharing.

As a guard, how about gluing/screwing a chunk of wood where the blade exits the sled so it won’t get through?

Best,

Nice one!

That’s Brilliant! I’d have never thought of that…ever! Not once.

very nice idea.

Very well done. I don’t think I will build a copy though, I think the lathe would still beat it out for ease of finishing.
If I didn’t have a lathe, that would certainly do the trick.

-- Mel,

that is one clever out of the box idea.

Brilliant idea. If I didn’t have a lathe I’d build one

Nice!

If it where me, I’d use a cordless drill in lieu of the hand crank.

Ingenious. Great idea. Gonna have to try this. Thanks for posting.

Hi Keifer.

Nice, but wouldn’t it be easier (and safer) to use it on the router table with a large flat bottom bit?

Ingenious! And the columns must be completely true, of constant diameter

Which prompts the thought that tapered columns could be made by offsetting the front support ?

(You might need self-aligning bearings – if they are not already being used)

Very creative! Shifting the bearings side to side (opposite directions) would yield a range of shapes where the center of the column is narrower than the ends – if one ever needed that… Thanks for sharing.
