Just you and me now, Mark. You'll find me back on the main thread.

thatsnotafestool

OK enough. If you don't know the answer then say so. You're so full of putting out petty, niggling little digs and then when clarification is asked for you throw a hissy fit. You give inaccurate information and then when queried say 'Oh..the bandsaw might have slipped' and then try and deflect from ...

..... you need the practice and this time square it properly.....

Please can you indicate where this is needed.

Picture two .
The section on the end doesn’t look square, ie the top looks wider than the underside. Or is it an illusion?

It's an illusion. Poor mobile phone.

But does the rest look OK ?

thatsnotafestool

Mark, do these look OK to you ? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51116930447_7237c712b8_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51116919562_c0415d4098_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51118280560_56a02c191b_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51116922182_cc9a2dbe1b_b.jpg

I probably caught that with the bandsaw or something, I can’t remember plus it’s been slid down from the end a bit that is probably a bit of it. Your just finding problems for the sake of it now. I’m sure you smarter than this. Why are you being so snarky and defensive? You came here to help, you s...

Perhaps we're talking about different pictures. I am talking about this one.

Revisiting (between buttock-clenching) everything before committing. So in your instructions above...which I'm following..all makes sense until here...... 6 draw around your template again in the new positions, making sure your tangent lines on the template are shifted to the new position on the bla...

thatsnotafestool

You're not bothering to actually look and read what I've written.

If you look more closely you will see that I am doing exactly what is supposed to be done.

thatsnotafestool

We are in agreement ! As I said in my OP regarding this..it's the horizontal centre line that is important when one end is not rotated so much ie there is space top and bottom.

thatsnotafestool

You won't see it on the template. As I said, added to the block.

thatsnotafestool

Agreed. It was all explained in that long post I submitted earlier in the thread.

thatsnotafestool

The stuff does matter. You keep telling me that I need to use centre-lines but I am saying that you don't. The templates are printed and created from the drawings that you approved. Also the same templates were used to create the softwood sample that is pretty much there ..or as good as. I've added ...

thatsnotafestool

At the risk of opening up old sores, assuming one is starting with a large chunk of wood - as I am - then is there any difference as far as the wreath is concerned by placing the face mould in either of these two positions ? Ignore amount of wood to be removed etc. and/or the exact positioning. I'm ...

thatsnotafestool

Fair enough. Just that this is a very quiet forum and I'd got the impression that you wanted more involvement.

thatsnotafestool

I agree with you. Sides not brilliantly done and curve not right. I need to listen to you more....sincerely. One question are the strings at 90 degrees? A good question and one that is very difficult to answer with any degree of accuracy. The two stringers do not intersect in any meaningful way so ...

Oldboy, if you wanted to get more coverage and input to this thread, perhaps you might like to think about changing the title to Tangent Hand-railing? That way anyone out there on the wider web might get here as a result of a Google search ? Not sure on the best spelling of handrailing or hand-rail...

Also if you think about it your neutral zone centre point won’t be correct if your not starting in the centre of both ends.

I disagree. As I said before, there are plenty of books out there that do not mark up the centre of both ends.

thatsnotafestool

Okay I’ll let someone else answer but that’s how I would do it , it’s no good drawing your neutral point yet you have far to much waste needs removing it will all be lost. You and I work in very different ways. For the record, that is NOT my wood It is a piece of Kingspan. I wanted to test my metho...

thatsnotafestool

I can’t really see what’s going on. 1 your block looks oversize height and width, I would thickness your block to the thickness of the maximum twisted end . 2 put your template on the top lining up with your joint lines with the template if already cut. 3 square a line down from the tangent lines o...

thatsnotafestool

My reasoning for dropping those vertical lines at X X are correct, I've decided. However, drawing either a central vertical line (as per di Cristina page 132) or even a centre point on the face is not necessary providing that you use commonsense and position the top template to allow for the extra w...

thatsnotafestool

OK...I'm scratching my head now because before I committed to marking up and cutting the walnut, I decided to revisit everything and have come across one problem that I don't see addressed anywhere. It's to do with marking the bevels and also sliding the template. If you look at both of these drawin...

Thanks Mark. I've been looking for a better way get the basic shape and wanted to try out my 20+ year old Bosch power chisel.

Meccarroll If you follow my previous advices and work the new vertical surfaces first it’s easier to hold in the vice, two parallel surfaces to grip. I got round that problem by getting one if these. It's excellent. https://cdn.axminstertools.com/media/catalog/product/cache/5a7ae93965a290622b2a179c...

I forgot to show this one (partly because it shows the sides could be much better). The one concern that both Mark and I had was what the c/l would be and whether it would cause issues around the bend...ie spindles hanging in mid-air. The good news is that they don't. I planned ahead (ahem) when I i...

thatsnotafestool

It fits. That's the main thing plus what you are seeing has also a long straight bit. It's regulation length !

If by 'a bit out' you mean the gap at the end where the 'reference' post is then that's only because the joint between wreath and easing has dropped.

thatsnotafestool

Welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with either of the routers that you mentioned, but rather than blowing the dust away you should be looking to hooking a router up to a dust extractor. Most routers have some kind of of dust collection shroud. The Katsu doesn't and, AFAIK, neither does the DN66.

thatsnotafestool

Wreathed in smiles ?

It's not bad. One question...do the sides remain vertical all the way through the turn ?
