Hello Begat
You bring up some good points, I was thinking of solid, but depending on the
size a hollow turning would be better, I have a birdsmouth
http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/04/s/articles/birdsmouth/index.cfm#online-calc
web. site on file (saved for another topic a few years ago ). It talks about
building a tapered column . This is something that I have NOT done, but the
reading is good.

Hello All,
To make a plan entasis column on a 1800, I would think that the two
challenges would be:
1. Finding when you should begin to taper while rounding and the proper
angle.
2. To find the proper thickness of the birdsmouth spars to allow for a two
in or so difference in diameter when doing the taper. I would think you would
want to avoid a solid column for reasons of price and weight.
I did not imagine that you had use a template guide, except if you were
trying to put a bead near the top, which you sometimes see on columns. Yet
even that might be possible without tapering using the right profile bit, or so
it seems.

I was looking for a way to make a swelling tapered column with spiral

invented by the greeks to make tall columns look straight, rather than wasp
waisted, which is what a perfectly straight column would do.

I have made these columns before but have used the saw mounted, pattern
following set-up. http://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/Pugn3.htm Then
just sanded them and trimmed them to length.
I have roped on a contour as well, All I did was build a floating carriage
that touched the stock on both sides of the cut. This effectively created a
6th axis and flowed with the cut to keep the blade 90ยบ to the stock. Sorry
though, I don't have pictures.

I love when we learn a new word. So a slightly curving column is the
results? The key is milling from the side. You will only be able to create
coves, not ropes.
That's where Bill's side mounted router solved that problem.

It does seem easy.

My guess is this is what he is looking for.
http://www.hellotrade.com/advanced-foam/entasis-columns.html And I would
say it is easily possible with a template.
I am sure someone has talked about this before but I don't remember
seeing
it. How can the legacy do entasis on a spiral cut column? My thought
was
to
use the motor to move the router and spin it at the correct rate for
the
twist and at the same time hold the router carriage against a template
from
the side that would be the proper entasis curwe. Has anyone done
anything
like this?
