I got a new unhandled bowl gouge this week and wanted to make as large a handle as I could turn. I have a mini lathe so their is no way I had room to drill a handle that is about 13 inches on it. I only have a small drill press so that was out of the question. I almost went over to Duddrvrkev's house to use his big drill press but I like to make do with what I have mist time so this is what I came up with.
It is nothing fancy just put together with brads and ca glue for a quickie jig. Notice the piece of wood the size of the lathe channel that keeps everthing striaght. It worked great and the epoxy is drying on my gouge right now.
