Why not detour through the 'carolinas' on the way back, then Harley can make new friend.

Just do NOT try going West on I40 into Tn!:eek:

I guess I had better post on the project before this thread goes to the dogs!;)

First step in building the jig is to lay out for the spacers. I want it to be 5 inches tall so I'll add 3.5 inch spacers.

Next step is to cover the frame with wax paper to keep the glue squeeze out from sticking the jamb to the jig.

Our next step will be to resaw the strips for the radius jamb.

Nice shop.
I will be watching this thread with fond memories. Or maybe mixed memories. When we renovated (read re-built) our current house in Canada I decided that some nice arches would be a good idea. They were, but by the time all five were done they were generally referred to around our place as "those god-forsaken arches". The routing alone took forever.
I laminated my elipses out of 1/8 birch pw and walnut veneered the outer layer. They were glued up in my vacuum bag. Are you clamping or vacuuming?

Keep up the great work and keep posting your photos.

Resawing the 1/8 inch fletches for the jamb. I will run them through the thickness sander before assembly.

You have to work fast with this type of glue up. It is best to have everything set up and ready to go before starting the glue.

And have lots of clamps.

Hardley any squeeze out on top. It all ran to the bottom. We'll let this set overnight.

Nice work Paul. Say hi to Wilma for me. Wife is calling for dinner. (Its about time)

==========================

That answers my clamping question Mark. Fast response too. I only asked a few minutes ago. What kind of thickness sander?

After some debate last fall over a new sander my decision was made in November when I had a job that required sanding several panels 40 inches wide. So far I am quite pleased with this sander. I have owned 2 drum sanders in the past but this has a feature that slows the sander when overloaded and saves a lot of paper.

Great-looking shop and nice project underway!

P.S. I love the "porthole" that you've added to your Bandsaw Cover.

Is that an open sided model like Proformax. Mine is a Canwood (house brand name from House of Tools) and Identical to the general international 25" closed type. I'd like to discuss the tool with you but I'll PM you

Thanks for the pic.
