Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about following tactile lines with tools.
Truly we all do have varying talents and capabilities but that one is not mine. I did buy the long curve device from Lee Valley which I hope to be able to use with blocking and either a collar or a template bit on a router to form curves, one project I want to tackle maybe next winter is a roll top desk for some of our computer equipment which we seem to use mostly at the dining room table. As we use notebooks this appeals as an option to hide away scanners, printers and even the computers and to have a brailler always available near the kitchen telephone. I was puzzling as to how I might design the curved runway for the roll top probably not a perfect arc, if I can get close with this curve then improve it if necessary with a sander on a piece of plywood or hardboard then I can reproduce as many as I want. I was very interested to read about that ellipse jig in one of the magazines too, I have wondered about how to do that long and hard.
