    trim shaping problem

    I am trying to figure out how to match some trim for a piece I'm working on. I need 25' of OAK 3/4 X 1 1/2 with a 3/4" bull nose type curve on each side. I could just use a bull nose router bit, but it would leave a flat spot between curves. I could also cut a bull nose on each piece, rip it to...

    Stock shaping tools

    I need to purchase a few tools to take a gunstock blank, like the one below, and shape into an American Longrifle stock. The barrel channel will be roughed in, and the ramrod hole drilled, by the stock seller, but thats all. I'm looking for opinions/suggestions on which tools to buy for...

    Ok, I am considering joining the IHSYP International. (I Hate Southern Yellow Pine). The HOW (Hillsborough Orange Woodworkers Meetup) is furiously working on the Popular Woodworking Skansen Bench. We have big inside and outside radius curves in the legs that needed shaping. We sawed...

    Intarsia 101 more shaping and carving

    On the last segment I went over the basics of tracing, cutting and sanding so now I will go into some of the details of carving and contouring that make intarsia unique. After a piece has been traced,[including carving lines as per pattern] and sawn out, now is the time to carve in the details...

    Intarsia 101 Tracing,cutting, shaping

    I managed to get a few pieces done today so I'll begin by showing the steps needed to begin the intarsia process. This photo shows the set-up to trace a section from the pattern onto sticky back label paper. I have taped the pattern down and have slid the carbon paper and label paper under the...

    Shaping on a router table?

    Howdy folks -- I've got some shaping to do with those mini sanding drums. I don't have a drill press and I SURE don't have a proper shaper. So...here's my question. Is it okay to use sanding drums on a router table? The shafts are 1/4" and 1/2", so they fit snug in my collets. But my...

    The after class shaping part 2 1/2 -the front legs

    Worked on the front legs of the rocker today, and I must say this has been the hardest process yet. The starting point was on the right and off the grinder form is on the left: Once off the grinder had to use a #8 carving chisel to "bring out the round half" of the leg-the part that's not in...

    Maloof Rocker-The after class shaping Part 1

    Hey Folks- Let me just second what Jeremy said about John's (Woodguy1975) rocker class-phenomenal! Of the 3 students, none of us had ever built a chair before and we all left with working rocking chairs! Having said that, a good part of the chairs' character comes from the shaping, and that's up...

    Router-table sub-plate aids small part shaping

    When shaping small parts on the router table, the large center hole in the router-table mounting plate is problematic. To get around this, I drilled a small bit-clearance hole in a scrap piece (here I used 1/4" MDF) and temporarily affixed this "sub-plate" to the table with double-stick tape...
