Internal Demo by Roy Hadland
Using a number of home – made jigs Roy set about showing us ways in which the router can be used to embellish your projects. The first jig, utilising the lathe’s indexing, was used to cut circular decorations into an ash platter.
The next jig was used to make lines of various shapes on the work. Roy explained in detail how and what materials he’d used to make the jig and what adjustments he’d built in.
Roy positioned his final jig along the length of a spindle, in this case, to channel grooves along it to make a lamp body. He cleverly used segmented softwood in order to facilitate a central internal groove for the flex.
Despite encountering a few problems due to his jigs being used on a different lathe to his own Roy’s demo was quite inspiring. We just need to get in the shed and try it out! Thanks Roy.
