Brian Noel Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I like how when the doors are opened you can still see the tree design. I have yet to put all the goodies on the inside of the doors, but I am hoping it will not cover that up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-MattK- Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Brian, can you explain more about how you made that spiral pattern? You turned it into a dowel with the router and then routed that twisted pattern in it... but I just ca'tn get my head around how that worked - what was turning the spindle and advancing the router at the right relative rates?

Brian Noel Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Tiods, I made the saw last year and I have plans to make more, they work really well. MattK I used a legacy router mill to turn the rope. http://legacywoodworking.com/productList.cfm?type=1 Thanks everybody for your comments, it was a blast to make. I am starting on the bench today!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Noel Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks guys for the link, that kid made a neat jig. The mill is a little more involved than just a duplicator although it does have that function. It is built around a lathe style rotary bed with an extruded aluminum transom cage that can be tilted in either forward or backward directions. There are two guide screws that direct the routers path on the x and y axis' with stops to limit travel. The screws are operated by hand wheels. The gear box at the front has capabilities to rotate in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction with a variance of gear ratios to achieve a variety of pitches to your turning. here are some examples of things that can be done with it. I got started on my bench top yesterday and have the back forty glued up ( the slab behind the split) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah, the mill is awesome, but lists for $3000. The jig from This Woodwork can do a lot of mill-type operations, not just duplication. I just posted it as an option for those who can't justify $3k....

Brian Noel Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thankfully I bought mine back when they were about $1,200 and it paid for itself the first year, but I see your point. $3K is a lot, especially when you can make something yourself that can just about do it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian Noel Posted January 9, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Got started on the bench this week, I ended up making the back slab a bit thinner than the front toconserve on lumber. The split will be walnut. It is somewhat boring on the top, the fun will come when I make the legs. Shop helper 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's a lot of milling! Looking good tho! Always good to have shop help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Noel Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 It would be nice to have a huge slab and make the top from one piece like Schawrz does in his blog, but this is what I have. A bunch of leftovers from other jobs all bought at different times. I did find a nice piece of birdseye to use for the face which I have had hidden away for about 6-7 years. I have started to make some of the tool holders for the inside of the cabinet and I used my cnc to make a few pieces. This will be for the chisels to set in. Got the dog hole board milled up and I am just about ready to glue the top up. Just have to triple check all my math for the tail vise. Math makes my hair hurt. Even though they give you great directions to put the tail vice in it is still a headache. The thought that one wrong measurement or miscalculation and I am goofed. I have a feeling it will all be O.K. though, this whole build has been fun and gone very well. I am glad I didn't try to take it on 10 years ago, might not have gone so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brian Noel Posted January 18, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 The top is going to be a split top, with the split being set toward the back about 19" I have all benchcrafted hardware, but everything I have done as far as hardware so far has been black. So I am going to dye the metal black using gun bluing. I have an idea to make a bar that mounts underneath to raise the split easily for me since I ma going to sandwich it in there good. I really like this site. I have been posting all my stuff on the Jumberjocks site, but I like it here very much. I just wish it were easier to post pictures. I like to post a lot of pictures as I go and because of their size I can only post one at a time here which is really annoying. So I have to refresh the page and add another and on and on if I want to get a few, but I will still post here! If I can Channel Ferris Beuller for a second. Mortisers are very nice, if you don't have one, I highly suggest picking one up. They are so choice. Have a great day and have fun woodworking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
