I have one … it works as advertised. I have done a number of test pieces with it and plan to start building pieces for fall craft shows in a few days.

There are 2 things that are a bit tricky. Setting up the splay of the stave is pretty much guesswork … there is no scale, you just eyeball it to set your splay.

The other tricky thing is the blade angle adjustment … if the reference surface were a little bigger, it would be easier to get the blade angle set properly. I understand the inventor is working on some add-on items, so this may be corrected in the future.

The inventor was on a Zoom call with the Detroit Are Woodturners, and describes the jig in more detail:
