I just did a demo for our local club, and it covered the Baxter Threading set up. It was strange getting ready for a demo that I had not done before. I didn't go to the swimming pool at all this week, and it took maybe 5 times the prep time that my other demos take. Lots of little 'things' to cover. I guess what I am looking for is input on the other threading jigs, one from Chef's Ware (?), and the Hope, or New Hope set up. I started with the Bonnie Klein set up, and stuck with that idea. The thing that turned me off with the other 2 set ups is that in order to get your cutter lined up square/parallel, you have to use a square to line up the banjo. Seemed very inefficient to me. I do like to do things in batches, so for me, that is lots of waste blocks using the 1 x 8tpi locking nuts epoxied into a waste block, and a bunch of waste blocks in varying sizes to screw the bottoms into so I can finish turn the bottoms.
Comments??? Oh, video coming before too long, and yes, it has been too long since I have put up any new videos....
