2" Dowel from a 2x2 MPC

[eelamb]

Ken I agree with you. Someone asked for the MPC, and I made the model/STL file, and it was mentioned to assign a different bit, and I mentioned you making the vector one in designer.

Only purpose I see is if they wanted to segment the board then cut and glue the section on the CW. Other than that, it would take too long, and not worth the time and material. IMO

I do not own the rotary jig either, was just trying to help out.

Thanks for trying, ken. I think I will order them myself. No lathe yet. Capt Barry

I posted this in another part of the jig area, I'll post it here also http://youtu.be/TUA3lryix64 a video on making round stock with a router.

I just got an e-mail from bayerwood.com and Mike says they have the 2" X 14" predrilled Carving stock for the Rotary Jig now.

Here is a jig I made a long time ago for holding round stock. I made it for holding salt/pepper shakers while drilling for the salt/pepper mechanism. Needed to be drilled in the center and held still while drilling. I now use it for drilling those holes for the support bolt on the rotery jig. As you can see the bottom can be clamped onto the drill press table. Maybe will give someone an idea to use.

I know I seen it some where that Lowes carries 2" X 48" dowels. Well yesterday while I was getting a dowel for my birds cage I took the time to see if they in fact carried the 2" dia stock, yes and it is popular and I didn't see any other type of wood for the 2" dowels. My store only had one piece in stock. And if I recall it was like around $7.50. I have no idea how this wood would carve or turn on a lathe, I just thought I'd post what I seen.

Yes, I discovered them last week. I am very happy with the way they carve.

Nice job Morton, do you have a PTN or MPC of the Eagle to share or is it a purchased item?
Thanks and nice job,

Thanks.
The eagle is a pattern that comes with Aspire. It is from VectorArt3d. You can get it in stl format or in my case, I use Aspire to make a grayscale, the import into designer.
