I simply knocked this arrangement up to produce a single replacement leg. Thus, users of juice cans and string (dialup) will be less likely to bypass the thread. High-resolution pictures can be reduced in file size by various methods, such as. Posts will receive more attention if you could utilise thumbnails for the pictures. My only "complaint" is in the presentation. With a suitable carriage, a motorised router could exploit your technique for application to curved surfaces, such as hollow vessels, for flutes and other complex profiles. If I'm not mistaken, an auxiliary pin could be added to engage a different set of holes in the chuck. I especially like the elegant (i.e.simple) indexing arrangement. The top end of the cradle slopes down, allowing the cutter to finish the ends of the reeds.
The cradle acts as a guide for a rather large scratchstock to run the reeds onto the mahogany leg.
I turned the leg to the rough shape in the lathe and then constructed a cradle around the lathe.Ī de-headed nail poking out of a hinged stick engaged in the holes around the lathe chuck allowing me to index the leg for the required number of reeds. I needed to make a replacement turned and reeded leg to replace one on a Regency mahogany library table which had seemingly been dropped or at least very roughly handled. Therefore there may well be a commercially available fixture or tool that I'm unaware of that is similar to this and accepts a power router.īecause antique furniture was made with the tools at hand (often home made) the only way to accurately reproduce them is to employ similar unique hand made tools. I've never really been a mainstream woodworker (what ever that may be!) in as much as I didn't have many power tools and I didn't subscribe to any woodworking magazines or keep abreast of the latest news and gadgets etc. In the course of restoring antique furniture, it's often necessary to make one-off jigs and fixtures and this is one such fixture.
