Custom Longworth Chucks For Bracelets And Bangles

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

After a great demonstration at our club meeting by Kip Christiansen, I decided to try to upgrade jigs for bracelets. Since I have some experience with Longworth chucks, I decided to make small Longworth chucks and see if they could help with bracelets.

My chucks are 3D printed with PLA. I am also investigating PLA filament strength for these chucks. My small chucks use a 1/4-20 center bolt and #8 bolts for the button bolts. I also designed a variety of button styles to accomodate different situations.

Longworth chucks can be made from baltic birch plywood, acryllic, phenolic, etc.

Next week, I will turn a cylinder using my chuck system.

Enjoy.

p.s. If you would like a more in depth demonstration, please contact me for an IRD (Zoom Demo) on this or other topics.
