Bolt Handle Turning Jig

I had a request to make a bolt turning jig for a customer. The one I made for my self was for right handed bolts only. This jig will accept right or left handed bolts.

looks nice, do you have a print so I can make one for myself? :D got any pics with a bolt in the jig.

thanks

Is this fixture for:
Bending the bolt handle?
Turning the bolt on the lathe about the handle axis?
Turning the bolt on the lathe about the bolt body axis?
 
You don't by chance have pics of that fixture with a bolt in it? I have thought about making a similar fixture, but never could figure exactly how to do it so if what you have is working I may need to steal your design:)

This is not the same jig but you can get the idea. The jig in the prior posting has been shipped to a customer. The new jig has a flat bottom in ti so the handle angle can be adjusted. The new jig can be adjusted in several different plane or axis. Certainly more universal. With on change it can to Savage bolt handles too.
