Jig for mating two curved surfaces

Skip——I must be missing something. How do you use this jig in practice? I understand how you made it and it’s a simple enough jig. But how do you use it?

thanks for taking the time to make the video. Everyone, I’m sure appreciates the effort.

Skip,

I tend to agree with Betsy. I am not sure how you would use the jig.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Sorry, Sometimes we forget the details when we are too deep into it.
Each half of the jig is used as a routing template to create the proper curve on each mating surface. Secure your material to the jig making sure the material is lined up properly and route the curve. After doing this to both pieces, you should be able to mate and glue the two pieces together with no gaps.

I hope this helps.

Makes me nervous to see the bandsaw safety guide so far above the thickness of the board. Glad you kept your fingers!

So what are the blocks for? Still not sure I understand either. Interesting subject though and I would like to give it a try.

I think I need a video showing how you use this fixture.
But thanks for sharing.

Hi Skip, I was also wondering until you came up with the second comments. To make the complimentary joints (male {convex} and female {concave} parts) of a curved joint. I think a few pics of a finished item would would say a lot more than mere words alone.

Thanks for the idea, this will make my life a lot easier.
