Curved Joinery Table with Router and Template Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Here is a step by step process on how I created a curved seam in a hardwood table using a router and 1-1/2" template guide. Note ALL router cuts are made with a 1-1/2" template guide and a 1/2" router bit. I "hopefully" clearly explain each step for perfectly matched curved seam. Using the Ultimate Router base that gave me more stability, control and precision allowing me to work more safely. See below for link to drawings and resources. Enjoy!

Using this method to make a Betty Scarpino inspired functional table top sculpture! Thanks for the help!
Beautiful, thanks Scott. Keep on Smiling.
Thank you, I will
Excellent video Scott.
thanks
Thanks for the clear explanation. I found 2 curved pieces of walnut I want to join for a table, so I ordered your router base, bushing kit and book after watching this video, thanks.
glad it helped, thanks for your support. enjoy
Great video and explanation thanks 🙏
I don’t suppose you could give me an example of how I can try the same technique using metric bits and metric router bushings please? Thanks
You simply need a template guide that is 3x the dia of the router bit. ex. 19mm bit, 27mm template guide. OR make your own bushing to fit over a smaller template guide. easy peezy
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I’ve only just got round to trying this! Just to check I can use a 10mm bit and a 30mm guide bush?
ray liotta of woodworking ?
Love it! That’s beautiful. It seems a bit confusing, but with a few tries and practice I think I could do that on a smaller scale at first. Definitely will try it. Thanks for sharing and explaining the process in detail.
You can do it! The book explains it in more detail. Go for it
Thanks for the encouragement. Ordered the book this morning!
@@psjw7828 thanks - just signed it and it will go out Monday.
Very nice technique and explanation, Scott - thank you. One question, actually unrelated to the topic of the video. What did you use for the floor of your kitchen? It looks like either spalted mango or a type of bamboo, likely the latter. Thank you!
It was a friends kitchen, I believe it was an engineer floor. could be solid since they have dogs.
thank you for the informative video! i’m wondering if it would be possible to use a different OD bushing with a 1/2” bit?
yes, you can use a 2" also. It all depends on the sequence of the templates and final cut.
I wondered how that was done. I am sure it is harder than it looks
Nope, it is actually very easy when using template guides.
Hi Scott bought your base yesterday went to attach Festool 2200 but there’s no screws for the two attachment points what do you use? Cheers Ken
Hello Scott. May I ask where you bought off set drawing disks?
It is part of the template guide set. imaginewoodworking.com/collections/ultimaterouterbase/products/ultimate-router-base-template-guide
Could you expand on the S-W finish product you used, I'm having trouble seeing it on the S-W website. Thanks
I don't understand your question. S-W?
You mention you used a Sherwin-Williams product for the finish, what is it? Thanks.

I'm going to try and rephrase for my own edification, if I'm not grasping it let me know.
The offset of 1/2 being the same diameter as the cutter diameter 1/2 is what makes this work?
would changing the offset to say 1/4 with a 1/4 inch cutter also work?
as always great videos
The offset is calculated by the OD of the template guide minus the dia of router bit divided by two. A 1/4" dia bit still using the 1-1/2" TG would increase the offset to 5/8". For a 1/4" offset with a 1/4" bit, you'd need a 3/4" OD template guide Hope this helps.
@@imaginegrove yeah, forgot to drop the size of the collar to work with my example.
Thanks
Best instruction on template routing I've come across! Instant subscriber.❤
thanks, template guides are powerful, accurate and safe. More people should use them. Here is my book about the process imaginewoodworking.com/collections/books/products/hardwood-edging-and-inlay-for-curved-tables
