I am refinishing a friend's oak table. The glue joints were all failing in the top.
I separated the joints and cleaned them up (32nd or so) on the jointer. Reglued them all, but obviously they don't quite fit back the way they were since they are all skinnier.
I need to return this table to round, obviously. So far all I can think of is to find the center (on the underside of the table)--- use a 1/2" mdf "arm" guide screwed into the center mark to guide a router with a straight bit to go around the perimeter of the table, like a huge compass.
That's the easiest I can think of. Anyone else have any ideas?
