I am currently reading Router Magic by Bill Hylton and it looks like it
has some fun stuff to try out in it. What lead me to the book, however,
was the chapter on turning. Has anyone here actually build the machine
he describes? Was it worth the work? It looks like a lot of fun, but
could just turn into one of those never-ending projects that distracts
me from my other projects.

Thanks,
Richard

I have been somewhat half-heartedly collecting components but haven't
actually put anything together yet.

Looks a lot like the Legacy mill thingy-bob.....for what that's
worth....

I too would be interested in hearing/seeing anyone else's attempt at
this jig/project

Looking at the pictures at Legacy, it does seem to be the same type of
thing. I don't know the quality, but they look pretty impressive and
well built. However, they range in price from $400 - $10,000 which for
the amount of turning I would probably do would take several lifetimes
to justify. (maybe not the $400, but definitely the $10k

The Router Magic tool is made mostly from wood and bicycle parts.
Definitely a stretch from my normal project, but does look like fun. So
far, it is on my "make it soon" list.

Thanks,
Richard
