Adam F Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Do any members have a lathe, or access to a lathe? I'm looking to turn up a couple of nylon rollers for my bow roller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I've got a lathe Adam. It's old but should do what you want. Jim and Stuie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Thanks Brian, if I get the nylon blanks and size up what I need, I'll give you a shout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 If it turns out that my lathe isn't big enough, my friend had a larger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I have a lathe too Adam but tied up for at least the next 3 weeks. Very busy at work and studying for an exam. If it's not done by then I'll take a look. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Have you sorted your roller Adam ? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I created this in case it's of use to anyone. Just have to print it off and specify the required dimensions. Then take or send to someone for manufacture. Jim Bow Roller.pdf Maverick Martin, niggle and 2006holmwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shytalk Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Adam I thought you had been in my place enough times to know I got one of them lathe things in the corner in fact I use it to make the occasional roller myself !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I know Pete - I dont like to bother such a busy man as yourself for a dinky little roller.... but as you mention it.... I'll probably wait until the weather turns and do it as a winter project. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
