hard to justify buying one of these but would be great if you made

But were is the fun in that? ;-) Its much more "fun" to lay one out by hand, cut it with a sequence of saw, chisel, file and sandpaper - then find out you have the spiral going backwards. Of course I NEVER did that, right? Right !! :-)

never have tried
just too much time involved

they are all done by cnc now

but i think a certain element is missing when something in wood shows
perfection

i enjoy imperfections in the craftmanship
it tells something where as the perfect cnc stuff does not

but i still find the these pre-cnc mechanical fluters interesting


in a link i sent around there was a chapter on spirals

good repeatability with these things

could also make baseball bats which have a complex taper to them
but cnc is the name of the game with bats now

think lagunatools has a nice cnc video of a bat
