Back before CNC, about 20 years ago there was this thing from Phantom Engineering inUtah. A five foot or so bed with a router base on rails with a screw shaft similar to a metal lathe. One sets the gears for desired forward ratio and indexing and cranks. The workpiece turns and the router makes its way along the rails making wood rope or flutes, or hollow spiral candlesticks that look like DNA helixes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpDJNYqCrEU I have never set this thing up after getting a “deal” at a woodworking show 20 years ago- I think about 900 Any ideas?
