The porch and steps are almost finished, and I've installed the fascia trim. Its starting to look like a wagon now.
Following some questions posted earlier by Keith, below is a pic of the compass jig that I used to make the curved pieces. The jig has preset holes at the far left, and is attached to the bench with 1/4 carriage bolt through a bronze bushing. There is an adjustable plate near the router end that allows for fine tuning. As I mentioned already, the key here is to use a non-plunging router, as this will give a nice clean cut using four passes.
that looks grea. Nice job on the the jig
ReplyDeleteFreakin' awesome job. Great work.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed the nice compound angle of the stairs. Too cool. I love them.
ReplyDeleteThan thanks. The steps serve the dual purpose of supporting the porch.
