 :bigup:  Looks like I'm going to have to do some reading later.

I wonder where a person could come across one of those tools, and how much they would cost?   :whistling:

Here ya go parker, looks like he used a clamp like the one in this kit and then drilled it to a piece of stock that he turned round.  I'm gonna have to make me one of these.

 :2up:  Sweet!  I like the variety Woodcraft has.  Surely a 100 pound clamp would be more than enough, right?
