After a night of thunder and lighting plus a domestic disturbance across the (what was used to be a quiet) road that required police attendance it’s turned out to be a nice morning so it’s off to the workshop to do a wood job for family friends and their motorhome.

I need to reproduce this counter top rail that will be fixed to the other side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what the profile looks like, it’s a job for a router.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the table saw I ripped off a 50mm length from what was provided. We need to select a bit with the right profile,  a 22mm rounding over will be fine.

 

 

 

 

Adjusting the bit depth so the shoulder only lightly cuts into the material.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We need to radius one end, I could cut it on the 9” bandsaw but…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…the disc sander will  be OK.
I used a metal washer to pencil the arc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We only have one lump of wood so no room for mistakes, better have a practice on a scrap piece of timber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Straight from the practice one to the job piece and do it, turn over and do the other side – done and looks OK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A bit of light sanding to finish this part and we can rip down to requested size height.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALDI Taurus table saw with a decent Irwin 40 tooth blade, adequate for my needs. We need to set width to 50mm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally cut off  at 550 mm.

Enough for now, time for lunch.
