Good evening...
I purchased the Joyner pendant jig a while ago and am now starting to try to make pendants.... I watched Capt. Eddie's videos and yoyospin's as well. I am able to turn simple pendants without any issues. However, I am having a consistant problem when I try to do some of the off-axis embellishments. While the pendant is spinning, and I am trying to turn some arcs in the pendant, the pendant seems to move a little (I assume because of the centripetal force). Before trying to turn off-axis, I attach the pendant to the waste block with the double sided tape, and push my tailstock and a wood block up against it for 5-10 minutes before trying to turn the arcs (when I press the wood block onto the pendant, the mandrel is in the 0 position - symmetric - Then before doing the off-axis turning, I move the mandrel to one of the other positions).
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer on how to get the piece from moving once I go off-axis.
Thanks in advance.
Dave
