If you use a 22 1/2 degree Chamfer bit in a router attached to a router table , i think you could tighten up the

joints in short order . Nice scrolling .

Interesting design. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Is it your own design?

A Very nice piece. From what I’ve seen here on LJs, anyone that does scroll work must have a lot of patience.

A lot of work gone on here Bob, if you are not happy with the joints then you have already decided to have another go. 80 – 20 rule Bob in this case more like 95 – 5, good job & make sure you post the next one :))))

Are there fleur de lis worked into some of that scroll work?

Lots of patience in a intricate piece of work. I like the way it looks and goes together, Yes if you look
you can see gaps, but if I tried it they would be much bigger. I had to make a special jig for my table saw
to let me cut long compound angles on my mail box mounting box. If I am judging the size of your
project, you might be able to cut yours on a 12” compound miter saw if you have one available. Keep
on having fun in the workshop and sharing the results with us.

I like the design quite a bit. I may have to try a scrolled box someday.

Nice work! If you don’t have a router, you could cut down through teh joints with a hand saw to tighten them up.

Thanks all for the comments and suggestions.
Moment- I always like to put my router table to use, when I can. At present,I only have a 45 degree chamfer bit . My problem is the 1/4 stock that was used tends to tear out, but it’s worth a try.
Jack- The pattern was reworked by Pedro Lopez of Valencia,Spain. He toolk a French 19th century goblet which he made more simple(good thing) on the computer.
Peteg- Thanks. Will do.
Bentheviking- one of the panel designs resembles the Fleur de Lis, one of my favorite designs(I was born in Quebec after all). You’ve given me an idea for my next attempt at this project. Thanks!
Bluepine38- I don’t have a compound miter saw yet, but you’ve given me reason to do some research and shopping around, which always lots of fun.Thanks

Put a piece of scrap wood behind the piece when you run it through the router,

The tear-out will then occur at the end of the scrap ( or backer ) piece as both pieces

exit the cut. Only remove 1/8 inch ( or less ) of material on all the pieces at a time .

I think you will be happy with the results . Dry fit the pieces together with tape and place

them on your template or lay-out lines . If everything looks good , then you can begin scrolling

each individual segment and not face any surprises later on. LET’S scROLL !

Very nice piece. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Moment, I really appreciate the detailed steps in your suggestions. It would be so nice to solve the challenge of bevel cutting beforehand, and focus on the fretwork. Cheers.

Very nice sir, gaps and all. |I love that kind of intricate work where three or four days in you ask, “What the hell was I thinkig!”

Ward Grant- My thoughts exactly Ward. Thanks for that.

Nice scrolling work. As for the corners, practice makes perfect.
