Works just fine. Make a sled with two uprights. The uprights need to have
nails through them and into the end of the stock. Just like mounting
something between centers on a lathe. Need to rig up a clamp to keep it from
turning as you cut. Take a cut, turn it a bit, take another cut until done.
Faster on the router table though. Same kind of rig but you can turn the
stock against the router bit.

If you start with a square stock and make an octgagon and keep going
won't it eventually turn into a round dowel 1-1/4"

Anyone done this? What are the angles?

Thanks.
