Not sure what you mean by that Brendan? Please clarify.
When MacGyver gives you a compliment like that you know you've done something right!!
Wait until you see the posting I'm getting together for the pool cues I'm working on. While the industry is...
Jack,
I just extend the toolpaths in my drawing.
Grey line is the fitting
Blue line is the top bit
Yellow line is the side bit
The top bit starts up high and works its way down. ...
Brendan,
This is the reason why I do curved stairs this way.

Owner wanted the first two steps to be custom bowed but was not sure on the size or exact shape. I was able to make...
Gene,
Here is a sample of a fitting but same thing applies to a level rail. Picture is worth more than words.

Brendan,
The 3 brackets are just what you said...the outside laminating is EXTREMELY strong..you'd be very surprised. Add to that the layer of poplar (or whatever) that gets applied too.
...
Gene,
Clarification...only the incline curved rail (the one on the staircase itself) is done using bending rail. The LEVEL curved rail (balcony rail) is done on the bot with side and top...
Brendan,
Working out the stringers, treads etc. is done by just drawing it correctly with CAD. Once the radius and the field dimensions are known then it's just a matter of designing the...
Hey Jack...I'll send you stuff off forum soon.

Jack,
Tapered spirals are extremely easy to do with the indexer. I kept all of my forum material back when we were discussing it in a folder so it's always available if anyone needs it.
I use a WoodTek..a tiny bit more expensive and specs seem to be very close. WoodTek products have impressed me.

A buddy of mine works for the FBI and ran the image on their software. Came up with this....
Looks like you guys were right about the second coming thing.

Did I mention how...
Brad,
That's exactly what I had in mind. I just wanted something of a putty-like consistency that I could spread with a putty knife and sand when dry to give that inlay look. I think I just...
I am building a sliding ladder for a client and we want each rung to have a literature type engraved.
I do not want it to be inlay work..would I would like is to stain the rung, apply poly,...
Jack,
Check out this site first to get your ideas together. If you need more info email me directly and I'll get you some additional ones I've designed.

Angus,
Not sure how extensive of a coup you are looking for but here is the latest picture I found of mine. I'll be happy to send you my drawing files and take new pics but I built it the old...
Stan,
I used to use a 1/2" diameter flush bit (you can easily get them the length you need). If you are trying to cut stringers out of standard 2x12 (or 2x10) material be careful...the lumber...
Mike...that could be the wittiest thing I've heard this year...thanks for the laugh.
Daryl,
This is a section of code that my program outputs...this answers the HOW portion of making a single file to step into a cut. Aside from using this block of code (which you are more than...
Someone else will need to chime in here Daryl...I write my own programs so I could not tell you about how to achieve the method using Partworks (or another program). Just wanted you to see that the...
When you say circular handrail I assume you mean LEVEL curved rail (like you would see on a balcony popout).
The way I do my curved rail (and fittings like quarter turns, volutes etc.) is by...
It would take too long to explain about MacGyver...just know that I think it's great the way you are able to create your work the way you do.
Christian
Do you have MacGyver in your city?? The stuff I've seen you do makes me wonder.
When I see a new post from you I feel like grabbing some popcorn and soda before reading it.
Keep it up..very cool.
Blake,
I have had a few opportunities to cut various parts from sheet goods (same as you..birch and mdf). Most of the cutting was for a cabinet company.
I just charged by the sheet...this...
Ron,
John's comment:
I don't believe I need a special post processor for rotary. I'm going to raster down the length or the spindle and increment the rotary 1 click.
John is the...
