While learning a new woodworking techinique/method
I often put together instructions for myself. As an
amateur/hobbyist/addict, I tend to jump around the
woodworking realm and not get back to a technique for
months or years. The notes/instructions to myself
shorten the relearning curve later.

A good idea. I used to keep a workshop notebook of what worked and what
doesn't. I still keep instruction sheets for some of the more complex
products that I only make occassionally, especially for complicated
chucking sequences and critical dimensions. It saves time reinventing
the wheel each time.


My first approach was too ambitious. I'm now
workingjust on how the "null point" moves
down the blank as pairs of centers on the diagonal
of the ends changes.

I seem to recall that there was an article years ago in Woodturning
magazine about this. If I can find it I will let you know.
