You've asked me to bring this back.  Now I have contracted with a friend to make some for us.  It takes lots of shop time, but the winter is here and the shop is warmer.

Here's the deal, you get the parts and pieces shown below.  You add two 1/2" steel tubes (available at the hardware) set the sharpener up to grind the 2,4,7 grind or just to touch up your gouges.  Included are two ACCU-SETS to put the bases right back where they left the grinder.  It doesn't get any better than this and I even have videos on my YouTube Channel to explain it.

The package ships to the USA for $102, for other areas, pay the $100 and we will bill you for the difference in freight.  OR- call me at 504-715-0512 and get it done by phone and credit card.  Thanks for waiting for this great tool.

This is new!  A 3/8" square bar, drilled and tapped for cutters.  Three of the 10.7 mm square and three of the 10.8 mm Radius square for a combo.  Bar and 6 cutters, with screws for only $77, plus shipping to the USA or your location.  If you want two bars, you have to order the Blue 2 package below.    

This is new!  Two (2) 3/8" square bar, drilled and tapped for cutters.  Three of the 10.7 mm square and three of the 10.8 mm Radius square for a combo.  Two Bars and 6 cutters, with screws for only $110.00, Plus shipping to the USA or your location.     

We have finally added a change in the Blue packages.  The more ideal package is a pair of bars with 3 (three) 10.8 mm radius square cutters and 3 (three) 12mm round cutters.  The cost difference is only $7.00.  We'll provide the two bars, six cutters for a total cost of $117.00 plus  $13.00 freight to the USA.

I think this makes for a complete package with the R2 cutters and the 12mm cutters, just a perfect set-up for small hollowed items.

I have assembled all the parts you will need to build you own Longworth chuck and a layout you can work from to build your own.  You have to provide the faceplate, faceplate fasteners and the plywood.  Tools needed are a bandsaw, drill and trim router, along with regular shop tools.

I took this off the site a few weeks ago.  But you wouldn't leave me alone.  some guys think they have better control over the square stock and they can determine the levelness of the cutter a little better. I went back to the shop and found a better way to machine it.  I like it even more. 11" Bar and three 12 mm cutters, with 4 screws.

I'll ship you three (3) square cutters with a 1/2" bar and three (3) machine screws for a total cost of  $52.00, plus $13.00 shipping per package. This is as basic as it comes, at a good price.

I created my version of a rose engine lathe, normally called an ornamental lathe.  This can be built by most good welders or fitters.  I have built several versions over a long 3 day weekend. 

I will sell you a set of drawings, showing every measurement, detail and accessory needed to create some of the most exciting turnings you'll ever see.  Included with the drawings is a shopping list of all the items needed and the resource for those parts and pieces.  Also, sample templates, many of which can be purchased from other ornamental lathe manufacturers in the US. 

This is not a project for the squeemish, this unit weighs about 120# when complete, but is capable of work that disappeared from our world over 150 years ago.  You will be able to "run with the big dogs" of ornamental turning when you finish this project.

About a dozen years ago I was doing segmented work and started working with a layout template because I couldn't get the sizes right and was wasting wood.  I had a version of MiniCad for work as a store designer and decided to create my own layout template.

I started with eight points and then increased to 16.  I did another in the 3 range and did a 3, 6, 12, 24 layout.(shown)  Then I did a 5, 10, 20 layout and so on. (flip side, not shown)

I have incorporated all of these templates into one master, one side is the 6 layout (6/12/24) and the other covers 4 (4/8/16)& 5 (5/10/20) layout.  It is laminated in heavy duty plastic so it's ready for the shop.  You can mark on it with dry erase markers or grease pencil. 

I can sell it to you, shipped to the USA for only $17.00. I have to add $4 for increased cost in lamination and shipping.  This ships via Media mail and can take 9-14 work days to get to you. If you order by check, be sure to add the shipping cost or I'll be doing this for free. Please add the $4 shipping costs, I can't sell and ship for the cost of lamination and printing.
