now using a scroll,band,jig or even a coping saw cut out your pattern, use care to make smooth exact cuts, smooth any rogh edges with sand paper... insert your template into the dupe, check that it is centered by inserting a blank into the lathe.... next remove the blank, reinstall your cutter and stylus.....reinstall your "set up" blank and adjsut your cutter, be sure to leave room for finishing the plug..
