    The algorithm brought me here. 😊 Now I'm a subscriber! Your instructions for this method are very helpful and thorough. The table top looks amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    Very nice-looking tabletop. I would need to test this on a small project before tackling such an expensive project. Thanks for the video.

    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.

    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

    • @imaginegrove
      @imaginegrove  2 роки тому +1

      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?

    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.

    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?

    • @imaginegrove
      @imaginegrove  Рік тому

      yes, you can use a 2" also. It all depends on the sequence of the templates and final cut.

    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!

    • @imaginegrove

      It was a friends kitchen, I believe it was an engineer floor. could be solid since they have dogs.

    scott - my head spinning even though you say easy :-). Gorgeous table!!! I'm a novice wooodworker. If I want to do a small jewelry box with similar design on top but I want the "maple" component in your video to just be an even 1/4" thickness between two pieces of walnut, do I need to do all of this? or can I just cut a curve in walnut on bandsaw and put the inlay inbetween? Thank you ! --- Craig

      oh now i understand. never thought about the effect of the chatter. that's why the flush bit. i'm new but trying hard. thanks scott!

    • @scottgroveartist
      @scottgroveartist 2 місяці тому

      's@@cfamily9095 In addition, the radius of the bandsaw cut cut curve won't be exactly the same due to the kerf. (cut void). Hence one side will be slightly larger the other small and when mated the wont align exactly. should be a problem if you are replacing the kerf with the same thickness of veneer / and or the curve isn't tight. good luck. do a test and see. nothing is ever learned by going it right

    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

    • @imaginegrove
      @imaginegrove  3 роки тому +1

      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.
