Laminated bracelet
 

Hello,
In an old "Fine Woodworking" magazine (Nr 50 from January 1985), under
the topic "Small project", I found an interesting article from Lawrence
Trombly about how he made/turned strong laminated bracelets from pieces
of # veneering (made on a bandsaw). He then glued them on a specific
jig (with "expanding chuck", "split ring" and hose clamps) before
truing and cutting them on a lathe.
I didn't understand how his jig works for tightening the glued
laminated wood ...
So, if anybody here has tried his method (or another one :-), I would
be glad to hear from him :-))

Thanks in advance

Here's a link to a Woodturners Resource project that describes both
making bracelets and constructing the 'soft jaws' the author uses to
finish the outside of the bracelet.

(sorry, can't figure out hot links)

Thanks Rjugg :-)

Very interresting topic ... But theese bracelets are not segmented ...
Thus, they can't be both very thin and solid ...

Anyhow, thanks
