Podium project
Here is a podium that I made about a year ago. It is made of Walnut (cut from N Alabama) with a Tung Oil finish (not sure how many coats) that was sanded between each coat with steel wool. The top is made in two pieces. The lower piece is glued and screwed to the shaft and then the top just glued. I made sure the two pieces had the grain opposing each other to keep it flat. The shaft is 3 and is cut with the barley twist. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Podium Project
The legs are attached with a dovetail joint. I cut the groove with the legacy. As has been discussed here before, this machine is not really that good at doing dovetail joints. Really, most of the slop in movement was from the plunge legs of the router. I cut the leg part of the dovetail joint with a router table and had to cut them to fit one at a time since the grooves were not exactly the same size. I did put screws in from the bottom to pin the legs so they wouldn't move while the glue dried. -- Dexter Bland All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Re: Podium Project
You got me curious. Did you use a straight cutting bit first followed by a dovetail bit when cutting your slots? I've noticed movement in the spindle and hubs that causes the slots to become wider. Not so much in the play of the router. Is this a Porter-Cable router? The pictures are really small. Do you have any larger pictures to make it easier to see some details. 600-800 pixels wide is a good size for groups like this one. -Tim - Original Message - From: Dexter Bland dexterbl...@gmail.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 4:17 PM Subject: Podium Project The legs are attached with a dovetail joint.

Re: Podium Project
Tim, yes I did use a straight cutting bit to remove the center wood first. The router is the standard PC set-up. I purchased it with the mill so I'm not sure how many miles were on it before I got it. It does have a fair bit of play in it. I could make the photos larger, I was just trying to limit the KB size. I'll resize and send. Curt, the other photos are on the other message a little further down. Yes, I did put a routed edge on the top. Roman Ogee on the top piece and a cove on the bottom.
