How to build a Bowljig
This is a jig I have made in the past for other lathes I have owned, and have been meaning to make for my current machines. I finally got a round tuit, and here are the pictures along with an article I published on Badger Pond Woodworking Forum. The articel here is essentially the same with a few changes made so that it makes more sense to those not familiar with Badger Pond. I hope this is helpful for all you bowl turners out there. The nice thing about this jig is that it can be made for pennies, assuming you have a faceplate, and most lathes come with at least one faceplate. And, since that faceplate is usually WAY too big for the lathe it came with, it makes good use of a piece of equipment that usually gets stuffed in a drawer and forgotten.
