Woodturning light pulls, a jig to speed up drilling

www.woodturner... worth a look if you are a UK turner who wants a website.
Short video to show a jig I use when drilling light pulls on a pillar drill. Plus I turned a light pull as well just to make it a few minutes longer!

Nice jig, thanks for sharing, Pete.

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Ward, these little simple jigs can make a big difference sometimes. I like to share the idea when I remember!

[@MarkBeckettRPT]

Clever idea Pete, thanks for sharing this.👍👍👍

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

You are welcome Mark, I have these strange ideas when I have to do something a lot I look for ways to cheat!

[@Stable_Studio]

Thank you Brian

Nice jig Pete. I can see the advantage when batching these out.
Great video mate.
Take care Pete.
Cheers, Huw

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Huw, think it would also work well for pen blanks if you wanted to prep a batch together.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@PeteTwistedTrees Yes indeed.

That drilling jig was cool great idea

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you, think it was my idea, though I have probably seen something somewhere that inspired it 😀

[@GavSedae]

Great idea Pete

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Gav

Nicely done Pete. Was telling Mark the other day that I’m going to try making a drive. They are expensive here in the US. Great project.

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Doug, the light pulls themselves could be turned between 2 60° points, but the drive has many advantages. I often use it to turn pieces that have a tenon on the end so the 3mm hole can be hidden. They are £20 over here and well worth it over time.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

@@PeteTwistedTrees $40-$50 here

Cool little jig. Definitely see the advantage for a production run.

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Wesley, I like simple jigs, for the time this one takes to make it is good even for a run of 10 or so pieces. with the 4 sizes on mine it comes in for quite a range of one off small spindle work as well.

[@roystheboy]

Very nice pete what size spindle gouge was that and i like the jig idea

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Roy, that was a half inch Ashley Isles spindle gouge. This one www.ashleyilestoolstore.co.uk/turning-tools/gouges/12mm-1-2-spindle-gouge
