Square to round

<< < (2/3) > >>

ricktrojanowski:
AWESOME.  Thanks for sharing that.  I used to make shafts out of 3/8 poplar squares and planed them to round.  Wow the time this would have saved.  I'm going to have to give that a try.

mullet:
 That's cool!

parspektiv:
I think this might be the video you watched:

Do you get the same diameter over the whole shaft, or does it get a bit "wavy"?

StevenT:
I watched those vids and a couple others. Great information.

Mark Anderson:
Yes that's the video I saw. I searched and couldn't find it again. Thanks for posting it. As far as the variance in diameter I really couldn't tell. I haven't put the caliper to it yet. I think I'll try to make a pilot hole of sorts on the finished end to keep it straight on my next jig.

P. S.  If any of you guys try this I'd love to see your version. With our powers combined maybe we could turn the world on end. Or just make some really cool arras a little cheaper.
