Thank you Carl. Last year I turned some miniature spirals which turned out good simply because their small size took the leverage of the wheel on a normal lathe. I can't believe the coincidence of this upload because just this past week I tried some spiraling on a larger and quality piece of wood. It didn't work out as I wasn't getting sufficient leverage and I didn't want to destroy the wood. You've provided the answer so many thanks. Alan.
Yep, I need me one of those. Problem? Sure!! can't have anything simple, I didn't find a single supplier for face plates in the whole of Italy, or least not one who can supply a face plate without a lathe attached to it :) Thank you again for the mention Carl, sorry it took me a couple of weeks to find it out!! normally someone clues me in so I can jump and thank you right up, but this time your video was left in the normal inbox whirlpool of videos to watch still. Yuval.
Yuval Lahav Woodturning if can not find a faceplate take your thread size to your place that sells nuts and bolt store and sink in a nut into the wood with forstner bit then glue in place with epoxy. i watched captain eddie he got a whole clip on making wooden faceplates this way but he did give one tip make sure before epoxy that cover the nut witb painters tape and tomorrow once dry can remove the paint with knife and quick sanding to make flush on the nut again. in your RUclips search look for making face plates with captain eddie and it be awesome help if can't buy faceplates matey
Hi Carl. A good looking and useful jig, but.......... Every faceplate I have seen has a concentric bore which mates with a smooth 'shaft' on the headstock spindle to ensure that the faceplate runs true to the spindle axis, but you are using a faceplate in the reverse of its normal fitting for this jig. I appreciate that the jig does not need to be concentric to the axis for the use that is being made of it, but does the thread not suffer any damage? Always enjoy your videos. Many thanks for your inspiration. Philip.
Nice, most of the time I know where you are going with projects but this one got me, LOL. Just could not figure out where this was going until the end.
That is a very handy tool Carl. It looks pretty cool too. I used to love watching that show when I was a little kid. Take care my friend and do a kindness Mark
Great jig Carl! That should be really restful, my friend, for cutting those spirals by hand, I know some people do it by turning the chuck and man, that must take a lot of effort! Great video, thanks for sharing! Daniel
Awesome work. I can't wait to see the follow up. I did something like the spirals you were showing but it was by hand and looked pretty rough but it worked. Happy Birthday as well.
Hello Carl. Great work as always :). I have an idea to make this a 10 min job. Hand tool, no router. I will have to make it and try it first. if it works, you will be the first one to know. ;) Simple in my head, but a build and test will tell. Hollow spiraled wine glass stems would be very cool. Again, Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to help the community.
I am curious, since there is metal to metal contact on you tool and tool rest, are those surfaces polished to aid in movement of the tool on the tool rest?
Carl...what kind of lathe do you have and about how much did it cost? I am new to turning and got a free Craftsman monotube lathe I like it but am looking towards the future. thanks
+Adam Stowell Adam, I have the Robust American Beauty. This one cost about $7,000 but they have a few different models. If you email me I can give you some more information. jacobson68@yahoo.com
Cool Carl funny idea with the Gilligans island theme. Is it a fairly long process to cut the spiral like the one you were holding at the end of the video?
I thought it was going to be a jig for cutting spirals, not a home-made hand wheel on the wrong side of your headstock... I did like the embellishment though, making it look somewhat like a boat wheel.
@@CarlJacobson Thank you so much. I've been having decent luck with a dremel and carbide bit once the kerf is made. Time consuming but it works. Suffices until I learn how to sharpen tools better !

+Alan Simpson Thank you Alan! I made one of them without the wheel while Robin was painting it, and you're it's a pain.
Take care,
Carl
That's pretty neat! The Skipper and Gilligan would be proud!
+Steve Brown Thank you Steve :)
Clever way to cut the spirals. Much simpler than I thought it would be.
+AnkleBiter Woodworks Thank you Scott!
Very original. First time I've seen this method of cutting spirals. Like!
+Аleksey Bek Thank you Aleksey! Ya, I hound this technique online. It saves time, and a soar hand.
Tell me Carl, exactly how much can be tapped in this way. It all depends on the accuracy of the hands. It is a difficult job.
Nice jig Carl ! looking forward to the follow up !!!Cheers for now, Bram.
+Brams shed Thank you Bram!
Thanks for putting the tool and rpm's on the screen. Looking forward to seeing the jig in use.
+Donnie G Thank you Donnie!

Looks Cool.
+ITS A WOOD THING Thank you!
interesting thanks for sharing carl love the name on it :)
+Mark Thieme Thank you Mark :)
think would like to see it in use more, in some ways reminds me of the tap and die
Bastante rico em detalhes, linda obra. Bom equipamento, boas ferramentas, e o principal... Segurança. Deus seje louvado.
+Sebastião Lima Muito obrigado Sebastiao!
Te felicito muy interesante
Congrats, very interesting.
+Juan Guerrero Thank you Juan!
That's neat Carl, but what would you use the spiral turned spindle's for? Just asking???
+T-Toys & UFO's Lol Thank you Tom!
I am curious, since there is metal to metal contact on you tool and tool rest, are those surfaces polished to aid in movement of the tool on the tool rest?
+docindahouze Yes they are polished, I also put wax on the tool rest to help it slide smooth.
Very cool Carl , but I wouldn't let Gilligan use it lol. Did you use your air brush for lettering. Great job take care.
+glen mckelvey Thank you Glen :) Robin hand painted the letters.
Take care,
Carl

I would love to see you hangout with Will Forte. I bet you would be best of friends.
+Dylan T LOL!
Merci pour le partage. Gilbert To france
Je vous remercie!!
I really like that jig. Is there a set screw on it to keep it from unscrewing as you turn it?
Thank you Dan! Yes there's a set screw on the faceplate.
Thanks Carl. My face plate does not have a set screw but it would be easy to drill and tap it. Take care and keep the videos coming!
Carl you used beeswax and orange oil as a finish what ratio of beeswax to orange oil so I can make my own without guessing please
I use Howard it's pre mixed. amzn.to/2wI1NBl
Cool Carl funny idea with the Gilligans island theme. Is it a fairly long process to cut the spiral like the one you were holding at the end of the video?
+Black Widow Woodworks Thank you! Yes it takes about three hours.
carl cool.
+Robert Kutz Thank you Robert!

+RealRuler2112 Sorry you read it wrong :)
Cool turning handle. If only a lathe would do 10 rpm, we wouldnt need one...
+Willem Kossen Thank you Willem! 10 rpm, that would be awesome :)
Where can I find the follow up video ?
I think this is it ruclips.net/video/UMhqIw9Mug8/видео.html
@@CarlJacobson Thank you so much. I've been having decent luck with a dremel and carbide bit once the kerf is made. Time consuming but it works. Suffices until I learn how to sharpen tools better !
Should have worn your Gilligans hat for that one
+Bernie Stefan-Rasmus LOL!
would like to see that done on a bowl that would look so cool . some real hrard wood so it wouldnt break .
+Dale Marsh I'll do a bowl, or vase soon.
