Duplicator
Been awhile since I've posted here but now that the economy has gone
belly-up, my job followed and I now have some free time to catch up on all those little projects I've been meaning to do. One is a broken chair from a dining room set my sister asked me to repair. There are 3 broken rungs about 14" long which I need to make. Long story short - I'm not good at making duplicate spindles freehand. Using a Delta mini with the extended bed. I've looked at a number of duplicators on the web but really can't justify the expense for a one-time use. Googled for how to make a duplicator and found several shop made units that would require a master machinist to make. Nice - but way overkill for what I need. Looking for a basic design that will work for these short, decorative chair rungs. I have a fairly well equipped wood working shop and access to a friends metal lathe and welding station - if needed. I tried convincing him he needed a CNC but he saw right through that.... Anyone make a duplicator that they would care to share their design ideas ? Thanks, Bob S. |
