Has anyone made a router turning jig? I like to make flutes and something like that would save me a lot of time. Thanks, Terry

Sears sold a device called a router crafter at one time. It's currently available from Trend. Legacy Ornamental Lathe is a newer, bigger version based on the same premise.

If you can, find a copy of the December 2001 WOODWORKER'S JOURNAL . It contains an article on making a large (or small) dowel from a square or rectangular piece of stock. The article is on page 38 and describes the making of a Candleholder. It takes a lot more time than a lathe, but then when you don't have a lathe.... creativity is the solution. Worked for me.

the december issue of WOODWORKERS JOURNAL shows a picture of the machine you are asking about. it appears to be a store bought unit. chairman

Vermont American made the router Crafter that Sears use to sell. I bought one from them a while back. I don't know if they still make them but u could try finding out if a
dealer ship is near you or try to find a web site for them.
