  • Alex Beloborodov is a custom furniture maker based in Tbilisi.
  • He is new to turning but created a clever jig for making identical legs on a lathe.
  • The jig provides real-time visual feedback by showing which parts of the blank need removal.
  • Relevant pieces of the jig fall away as the profile is completed, signaling contour completion.
  • Commenters note that similar tools like 'spindle dancers' and lathe tracer attachments already exist.
