Laminated bracelet

Sep 30, 2005 2 Replies

Hello, In an old "Fine Woodworking" magazine (Nr 50 from January 1985), under the topic "Small project", I found an interesting article from Lawrence Trombly about how he made/turned strong laminated bracelets from pieces of # veneering (made on a bandsaw). He then glued them on a specific jig (with "expanding chuck", "split ring" and hose clamps) before truing and cutting them on a lathe. I didn't understand how his jig works for tightening the glued laminated wood ... So, if anybody here has tried his method (or another one :-), I would be glad to hear from him :-))



Thanks in advance

Here's a link to a Woodturners Resource project that describes both making bracelets and constructing the 'soft jaws' the author uses to finish the outside of the bracelet.

Thanks Rjugg :-)

Very interresting topic ... But theese bracelets are not segmented ... Thus, they can't be both very thin and solid ...

Anyhow, thanks
