Congrats to Alan Shaffter in FWW!

[Douglas Robinson]

Alan had another tip published. This one is for beveling curved panels and appears on page 15 of Sept/Oct. 2011 issue of FWW (Issue 221)

Congrats! Didn't Alan already have a curved panel beveling tip published? This man is a tip factory!

Thanks guys. This tip started out as a letter to the editor- the author of a PWW article used a rather awkward method to put a wide bevel on the rounded ends of a small table. I had what I thought was a better way to do it (I guess FWW agreed).

I don't subscribe to FWW Online so can't show you what they published but it is a jig that you mount to a tablesaw fence (which I never built :gar-Bi :gar-Bi ) that looks a little like the one in these SketchUp drawings.

I often post my ideas here first but searched and couldn't find this one. Awhile ago I had a similar tip published for adding a cutting guide to a cross-cut sled that makes it easy to cut to a line.

You may see something that looks like this in an upcoming issue of Wood. It is a tip how use shop scraps and run them through your planer:

Great idea. I'm a big fan of hiding table top thickness with an under-bevel. This gives a graceful edge without giving up the structural superiority of greater thickness. I've never tried to do this on a curved edge, but now I know how to do it.
