ISTR that Sears used to sell a smaller version of this type of jig. Graham
But were is the fun in that? ;-) Its much more "fun" to lay one out by hand, cut it with a sequence of saw, chisel, file and sandpaper - then find out you have the spiral going backwards. Of course I NEVER did that, right? Right !! :-)
never have tried just too much time involved
they are all done by cnc now
but i think a certain element is missing when something in wood shows perfection
i enjoy imperfections in the craftmanship it tells something where as the perfect cnc stuff does not
but i still find the these pre-cnc mechanical fluters interesting
in a link i sent around there was a chapter on spirals
good repeatability with these things
could also make baseball bats which have a complex taper to them but cnc is the name of the game with bats now
think lagunatools has a nice cnc video of a bat
