This is unacceptable!!
Ron Brown of Peachtree Woodworking Supply has STOLEN another artist's tool that was designed about 6 years ago and is now selling as his. He didn't change anything!!! Not even the color.
He did change the name from "Joyner Off Center Jig" to "Ron Brown's Best Off Center Chuck System". But that is it!!!
Richard designed the tool, manufactures it here in the US and has taken input and feedback from all of us over the years and has continuously improved it. He established a relationship with Ruth Niles, and if you do anything with bottle stoppers you know Ruth. She has been offering his jig since the beginning and still does… Joyner Pendant Plates
A quick search and you can find several articles and pictures of great things people have done with the Joyner Jig. This article is from 2010. http://familywoodworking.org/forums/oversize_attachments/Pendant Turning Tutorial.PDF
About 8 years ago I found IAP, the ideas, the people and the true artists I met here and shared with are amazing people with unbelievable talent. It is disgusting and unacceptable what Ron Brown has done to simply make a buck. I can tell you right now that under no circumstance will I ever buy ANYTHING from Peachtree ever again.
We turn because we love to do it, there is something inside us wired this way, it is a precious gift, and we share it, give it away, and would teach someone else what we do without blinking an eye. I believe Ron Brown just does not get it, and is NOT a retailer that adds anything to our hobby/love.
Sorry for my rant, but I have owned one of Richard Joyner's jigs from over 6 years ago and was deeply saddened for all artists when I found this… Lathe Accessories - Chucks
Please take a moment and seriously ask yourself if Ron Brown from Peachtree is adding to our hobby or destroying it?
Thanks for taking time to read this.
