Bought a new toy a while back and I'll get to use it soon.
Elliptical Jig
Not really a complete picture of what I need to make. Need to make the whole thing.
Gotta make the casing, key and the jamb. The key is the easy part.
A while ago I made some tracings on some cardboard. One was the opening of the curved
jamb and the other will be a different sized opening.
From the tracing the first thing I made was the template for the 2 1/2" colonial casing
Then I needed to make the template/jig for the curved section of the jamb.
The wall thickness is 5 3/8" so I made 4 template pcs. I put in 1" spacers so the template
will be 6" thick.
Here are the 4 pcs along with the casing template
Here's the spacers being screwed into place
Here's the completed template
For the jamb material I will be using 2 pcs of 1/8" poplar and the Kerfcore that I used
when I made the curved desk. I cut the thickness down to 1/2" so the two pcs of poplar
and the Kerfcore will total 3/4".
Here's a test run to make sure things would work.
Here's the real run. This one is glued up.
Round two coming up.
