Al Stirt, Untitled Bowl
Al Stirt Bowl Driver? If at first you don't succeed, look in the bow for the instructions. He wasn't using a point on the tailstock as this would create a hole that would stymie micro adjusting of that end. Al has plans on his web site for what he calls an Al Stirt Bowl driver.

He indicated that a drive center on a large blank can lead to spindle galling. Ask the auctioneer a question Items may xtirt for more or less. Visit your account to find out Did you win this item? He uses this to adjust the grain pattern when turning a bowl.
I haven't seen it like this but I believe this is the same principle as a 2 prong driver.
Leo, could you talk about your similar implement, possibly showing pics? I have a Beall tap so I think I will make one that threads on to the spindle similar to the one in the picture.
The use of the two pin driver is very handy when going to turn a blank with the bark still left on, where you would want to get the best orientation for the balance of the piece and centering and the grain, placing the blank between a driver like that and the tailstock center you can move the piece around without restriction, both on the head and tailstock side, even after partial turning you can reorient the piece.
Isn't that thing just a revamped faceplate driver? In your picture, we're looking at the headstock side of the gizmo not the side that faces the blank right?
Hi Mike, the driver that's shown is just another incarnation of the old faceplate driver, just like I have said before there's nothing new in turning, just rehash of the old. Browse All Upcoming Auctions All you need is a spare faceplate with two sharpened bolds sticking out and away you go, of course you can drill and tap thread in the faceplate and then can screw the bolds in and out at will, and lock them with just a locking nut, easy.

Except the two bolts just push into the wood. Payment must be received within seven days.
Al Stirt Bowl Driver?
The time now is 9: I'm guessing the bolts are adjustable, like someone else said you are looking at the lathe side, the plate is probably threaded, thats how you'd adjust the wood.
If I recall correctly from seeing his at a demo, the 2 bolts do not adjust at least they're not meant to be adjusted per piece but could be and just act like a 2 prong spur enabling easy movement of the piece when trying to balance out the grain.

All sales are final. This item is part of the auction:
