this morning for inspiration, I went through some of Master Feltmate's turning tips..



Clicked on the "cutting round objects on the band saw" or whatever, expecting yet another jig to build..



Saw a picture of a branch with a bar clamp on it, keeping the limb form rotating.... Hmmmmm..



What a simple but effective solution to a common problem!

For larger logs that are hard to clamp, I put a short board across the end and fasten it temporarily with two screws.

Exactly!

I just freed up some wall space by getting rid of a few jigs that I'd built and didn't really like..

I've done a little of that, but since I took off the shop-built table, my 14" table runs out of room for much more than a clamp to rest on..
