Looks like you have a commercial product here.

At the very least a magazine article or a book chapter.

Fame and fortune will be yours.

Nice work. :-)

One of the features of my Atlas metal lathe that I have come to depend on for
certain woodturning operations is the compound tool rest (cross slide) and tool
post with HSS metal lathe bits. When I picked up my Jet mini, I found that I
really missed the utility of this item. I enjoy making jigs and the more I
thought about it, the more interesting the prospect of making one became, and I
decided I had to see if I could do it.

The results of my efforts are shown in the following photos.

Here is my first trial cuts.

A complete description of the jig and how I went about making it can be found on
the following link: (rather long description with several more photos)
