Home made round leg dividers

[Occasional machinist]

For a long time I used flat leg dividers and then a friend suggested round legs were better. I found a secondhand pair and was sold - but always wanted a pair between the 6" pair and the 3" pair I bought later. In this series of videos, I actually make a pair. A few mis-steps along the way, but the end result looks just like a bought one.
There are drawings in there for those wanting to try this at home...

I've enjoyed the series Michael. I always learn a few things from watching your videos. What I appreciate most is showing your perils along with your triumphs. The real world!

Thanks. One of the things about youtube that irritates me is people showing a perfect process so when I first started doing this, I decided that if something did not go to plan, I should show that so others could learn from that. Hopefully it makes viewers think a little bit more about what they are doing.
