Thanks for watching!

Very simple design and easy to make. Do you have a video on how to setup and use the indexing wheel?

I’ve been using the Chefware setup for 3 years. The picture of a bowl being glued on their website is the first I did using this setup.

This new fixture is not as well know as it should be! Thanks for your work with Chefware Kits

I built mine (based on Earl's instructions) several years ago ... mine has a level embedded into the table and a scale (both imperial and metric) on the aluminum angle. For the 'stop', I use a brass stair stringer gauge, available at most home centers ... a pack of 2 costs about $6..

I would love to see a picture of what you built

Jim, this is an excellent video. However you failed to include the links to Earls Small Shop and the Chefware Kits in the description section. Yes I know you posted them in the video but I cannot link directly from that. Copying the information to paper and entering the info by hand is a real pain. Please post the links in the comments ore description so that I can link direct.

Good point. I have added the locations in the description area. Thanks for the heads up. JLR
