I'm about to build a small drop-leaf table and want to use a rule joint. This will be my first rule joint. Am planning on routing both the round over and cove prior to ripping the table to width to cut off any small tear-out. I'll also leave it long so I can cut off the rule in the event it doesnt come out. I'll cut a sample before committing to the good stock. Any other tips/tricks?
Any suggestions on a swing arm vs purchased metal support?
