    I was sceptical at first, but I really think the rounded corners look better. Especially for the nose hole. Well done. Since I live in a small appartment now with limited access to woodowrking tools and space, I've been looking for a seasonal project I can sell. I'll have to snag this one! Just off the top of my head, I can see a thanksgiving and Christmas variant. Maybe a New Years one...

    Subbed I’ve done the guide bushing trick on some of my repetitive builds…makes life so much easier and like most woodworkers exactness, squareness, consistency and flawlessness are always the target (not necessarily the outcome) but using templates with a router is a step towards that goal……just gotta make one really really perfect template and the rest is a breeze 👍

    That is a great approach to making those! I have only made 2 of them and they are on my front porch for personal use. I used cedar pickets for mine. I cut my first one with a jigsaw. It got a little hairy cutting it out that way so i switched over to the scroll saw on the second one. Your way seems so much safer and definitely faster once you get your templates made. Keep up the great work!

  • @EverymanBuilds
    @EverymanBuilds 2 роки тому +7

    I've just made a bunch of these using a CNC, a Jigsaw, and a Scroll Saw to see which was best for me. I'm not sure why I didn't think of a router template. It looks much, much faster for the simpler, smoother faces.
