That's fine for the outer pieces, but the ones they mount into have dovetails on both inner crescents. I can't see how you could turn those on a lathe without some weird offset going on.
- mitthrowaway2 3y ago>> For the male dovetails, it would require mounting the work offset (eg. on a faceplate)
- genter 3y agoWell, yes, that's what you do. It's called eccentric turning. With that much of an offset, a normal chuck wouldn't work, you'd have to use a faceplate. http://www.steves-workshop.co.uk/tips/lathetech/eccentrics/eccentricindex.htm http://www.steves-workshop.co.uk/tips/lathetech/eccentrics/e...
- mdorazio 3y agoThat explains it! I didn't know about faceplates - thanks for the info.
