Could you do the birdmouth on the mill too would that be easier than running long lengths of timber over the router table or saw bench to do the birdmouth joints

It talks about building a tapered column . This is something that I have NOT done, but the reading is good.

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.

Entasis in columns is the slight swelling in the waist that was invented by the greeks to make tall columns look straight, rather than wasp waisted, which is what a perfectly straight column would do. _____ From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Okla Mike (Liltwisted) Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 9:17 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Entasis 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.

You will only be able to create coves, not ropes. That's where Bill's side mounted router solved that problem. http://ornamentalmills.com/Bill_Bulkeley/side_cutting_mod.html It does seem easy. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:jwb...@windstream.net> <jwb...@windstream.net> To: <mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Cc: "curt george" <mailto:curtgeo...@wowway.com> <curtgeo...@wowway.com> Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 8:17 AM Subject: Re: Entasis 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.
