I have a stairway and railing around the upper opening which is going to
require about 92 oak (balusters) spindles. There was a post some time ago I
believe in this group about using wire or metal setup on the back side of
your lathe. I can't remember all the particulars and have looked in the
archives but maybe I'm not using the right search. So, if anyone remembers
the post would you please fill me in. Also, is making that many worth while
or should I just buy them. Thank you Terry


I've had a duplicator for four years now, have yet to use it. It came
with my first lathe.
For what it's worth, I think I'd buy them, I'm too picky about my
turnings, I'd hate the first one by the time I got to the middle,
