Topic tags/keywords: shaping Hey guys, I am going to make a french style dining table and faced with problem. Does anyone know how to make this type of edge (marked read in the picture)? Is there some special router bit that could be used for it? I will appreciate your advice and help. Thanks a lot. -- Maraziukas, Lithuania, https://www.marius.morazas.com |

the table i am sitting at looks almost the same, the edge is just simulated by a half round cove routed at a certain distance from the edge. |

Complicated to do it with a router and a little easy to mess up unless you want Traditionally it’s done with a very simple hand-held tool called a scratch ... and Lee Nielsen makes one too. |

Or maybe this: http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=62030&cat=1,41182 The only hard bit is the point right in the middle of the long rail. You might have to carefully chisel that bit and blend it in with a bit of sandpaper. -- https://www.clickasnap.com/Andy61 - Andy - Old Chinese proverb says: "If you think something can't be done, don't interrupt man who is doing it." |

Thanks a lot guys for yours suggestions. I didn’t know that there were such amazing tools. There’s one more problem, where to find this tool in Europe for a reasonable price :) And one more question: does this tool cut well in hardwood, such as oak? -- Maraziukas, Lithuania, https://www.marius.morazas.com |

I’ve put together a collection of links for you which I hope you’ll find useful. This first collection of links is about making and using a scratch stock: http://www.johnlloydfinefurniture.co.uk/files/p%2041-44%20FC%2092%E2%80%A6TECH%20lloyd%20JB.pdf To answer your question as to whether it will work well in hardwood such as oak. The answer is yes, you can use a scratch stock in hardwood, infact it works better than softwood. Oak isn’t the easiest wood to scratch, but it can certainly be done. If the wood has a high moisture content then that will help too as it kind of lubricates the blade when cutting. Practice on an offcut first to get a feel for the right angle and amount of pressure. Here is a link to Peter Follansbee’s blog where he talks about making and using a scratch stock and he works mainly in oak: http://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/scratch-stock-moldings/ And if all of that doesn’t inspire you to make your own :-), here’s a review of the Veritas beading tool: http://www.woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2702 ... and you can purchase both of the Veritas beading tools from these two companies based in England. Here’s the links: Please note: you need to scroll down the page on the second link to see the beading tool.* http://www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-veritas-beading-tool-prod22859/ -- https://www.clickasnap.com/Andy61 - Andy - Old Chinese proverb says: "If you think something can't be done, don't interrupt man who is doing it." |

Wow, that’s kind of a big job all this set of suggestions! Thanks a lot! I’m definitely going to make my own, at least I will try to :) And the links are really very useful, I feel like I should learn more about googling :)) I really appreciate your help! Good luck to you! -- Maraziukas, Lithuania, https://www.marius.morazas.com |
