Using a template can make it easier to make duplicate
parts (e.g., chair legs, pepper mills, etc.). A permanent
template made from plywood is probably a better solution
for production or frequent turning, however, for quick
or one-off duplication, the "masking tape template"
works well.

Masking tape template is a simple two-step
tip:
- Place a strip of masking tape (painters tape works
well too) across the toolrest.
- Mark the out the key cuts and reference points.
Note: The author does not profess
this to be an original tip. He notes that it has been
used for many years and in many forms. This version
was submitted by I.A.Seidman of the Grey-Bruce Woodturners
Guild.
