The jig I bought is essentially the one that Rockler sells, though I got mine for about 1/3 less.

Interesting - never seen one of those. What blade do you use when cutting these coves?
'78 Mark V 500 #27995 (my Dad bought new)
'82 Mark V 500 #96309
Two '47 10E's (serial#4314+6149) - one a dedicated drill press and the other a lathe
Two 10E/ER in parts slowly being restored…#26822 and #????? (SS plate missing)
SPT's: Bandsaw, Belt Sander, Strip Sander, Jointer, Jigsaw, Biscuit Joiner

I used my combination blade as my rip blade is thin kerf and that would probably put too much pressure on the thin blade.

For those of you in Canada, I bought my jig on sale at Workshop Supply.

Looks like it is still on sale.

Attached is are pics of the second valet tray. This one has a bit of a story.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the mitre runners were proud of the table top and causing rough cuts when the piece crossed over them. With this tray, it was more than rough. After two or three passes I realized I would never be able to sand out the gouges so I took the jig apart, took out two runners that were causing the most problem and set everything back up. Of course I didn't get the exact same angle so I had a problem, the cove was now off center.

This was solved by running the board through twice, once in one direction and again in the reverse direction. It actually gave me a wider cove, which I wanted and had considered earlier but left a ridge down the center if the tray. I actually like this one better than thee walnut one and may give our grandson the choice, (though Grandma prefers the other).

I now have to find a way to grind down the runners so I don't have this problem in the future. I had started on two but ran out of patience as it was a slow process using a file and sandpaper.

I guess that wraps it up for this Christmas. It didn't start out too great as Santa's sleigh got damaged to the tune of $6000 last Thursday night by a plow, but that is another story.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Happy, Healthy and Safe new year!

I made this for holiday gift exchange at work (which was cancelled due to lack of interest) Someone in the family will be the recipient of this.

Merry xmas sir!
I saw one of these at an antique store. What are they worth and I'll look next time I'm close to compare.I saw alot of other planes that ranged 55-85. Whats your thoughts about aquiring planes that way and investing in some nice water stones.
