So, I wanted to ask if anyone who makes rolling pins has ever discovered a way to make a bushing for turning down rolling pins.
The best idea I've come up with is a magnetic stand that attaches to my lathe bed with an adjustable point that I can set along side the spindle blank, and turn the blank until I'm about even with the pointer, but that seems too easy to knock out of place.
Is there any way to create a "bushing" or guide that can fit over my live center, or my spur center, and let me turn down the pin without flipping the pin? Something adjustable would be awesome.
Until then, I'm just turning down to a template that I cut out of plywood, that works ok and maybe that's the best solution, but I was wondering if anyone else has found a better solution to this.
