I have a project coming up where I need to make two matching tapered columns, but alas I do not have a lathe. I wanted a way to create them easily and repeatability was important – here is the jig I came up with.. A box.. On the front end I have a vertical adjustment to set the diameter at one...
Attached are photos from the dry fit of my latest project. The table is made of walnut. The top is 15 1/2 " x 35" single board elevated 1/2" above the legs and 1/4" from the rails. The legs are tapered in both directions with a slight curve. This was my dry fit which seems to work well. I plan...
I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out so I thought I'd share.
They're not as hard as I thought they would be.
First I cut the slot in the case side:
I'm using a 1/2" DT bit to make a 5/8" slot so the distance between the guides is the diameter of the router base (6") plus 1/8"...

Just a little set of 4 tapered drill bits marked down from $12.99 to $0.80 [Wolfcraft #1399404, .
Snagged the last one at NW GSO Home Depot]
Not sure if available elsewhere
What alternatives do I have to creating tapered table legs without the use of a table saw? I have mine in storage in other place, no room for it in my current living situation. I do have a router table and a jointer, can either be used to make 4 identical tapers? Thanks!
:notworthy:Does ANYONE know where I might access some double tapered spindles/dowels? I need them for a couple deacon's benches we are attempting to build.
(Darksiders, PLEASE don't tell me how easy it is to turn these things from dowels! :nah: I don't have access to a decent lathe, even if...
Always wanted a tapered reamer to make chairs and stools.
I used a saws-all blade to make the blade. Grind the teeth off, file to a 45° angle and sharpen like a scraper.
Drew shape of the reamer in Illustrator and printed it. Glued the printout to a piece of 1/16" x 2" x 12" Brazilian...
