Pie Crust Table #7: The column

Sure looks NICE!

I patiently wait to the spiral jig that you used to route the spiral! :)

Another awesome project!

Thank you again…

Gary, thanks for the post. This has been an interesting series to follow. Just guessing I would say that this has been a stretch, even for you. But that is how we learn and grow. You have a talent for taking a complex technique and distilling it down into manageable parts. Keep ‘em coming.

Sorry, but I didn’t use a jig for the spiral. I used a Legacy mill.

So, where are you hiding that! I really like that machine but don’t have the time or ability for it.

I know of a couple around here and theyare booked all the time.

Way to go Gary looking good. I wish I had had a legacy mill I carved the base of my Pie crust of course I just have the ball and claw feet and pedistal mostly done,. Now that you have been a good example I’ll have to start my top.

Bob #2 – Look at my workbench project and you will see it in the background. I think that this is only the 3rd time I have used it since I got it 3 years ago.

Gary I just watched that video…that is one crazy piece of equipment…whats it cost? Looks expensive..
EDIT: Just went to the website…now I know how much they cost!

Brad_Nailor – I think that I paid about $1500 including some extras.

Have you seen the Roy Underhill program where he cuts a spiral like that?

Although, I think it was for a candle holder.

Had a long strip of paper the width of one spiral, and a line down the middle (top point of the spiral).
Wrapped the paper around the circular large dowel, at a developed angle.

Marked the leg and proceeded to saw and chisel the spiral… all with hand tools! I think he made an Open spiral candle holder.

That Legacy is out of my league! Cost wise…

Thanks for showing this Gary. The result is beautiful. I’m looking forward to the next post.

Looking good Gary, Is this a single bit cut, looks like 2 step process. Rope twist or Barley twist bit followed by a core box bit?

I just went back to the beginning of this blog and you state you didn’t use your legacy to turn this, now I’m really confused

I’ve often wondered about the Legacy Mill … I yahoo’d and found this link to a cool looking little mill …

Nice continuation on the table.

Dock16 – This is the first time on this project that I have used the Legacy. It will also be the only time. I didn’t use it on the top which is what I thought you had asked.

I used one bit the the spiral. A classical plunge bit. The the flat hex I used a 1 1/2” bottoming bit.
