This isn't really a new idea. I have been using a
piece of plywood for years to hold the turning in place while cutting mortises
and groves, I find the Legacy's locking pin is nice but for larger pieces of
wood it isn't enough. I normally screw down the tail stock end of the wood to
the plywood, This alum rail will make it much easer to lock down a large
turning so I can mortise it.
Its simple to use, once the work piece is in place
,I place the stead rest at the end of the work piece and screw it down into
the end grain of the wood. now I have two locked ends and the work piece will
not move. For the next mortise all I need to do is remove the screw and
readjust the work piece where I need it to be. and repeat the process. Hopefully
this idea isn't to simple ?
