How To Minimize A Vast Scooped Seat

Seeing Tim Coleman bandsaw the news within the seat for his counter stool was nice enjoyable. And you’ll watch him doing simply that–and the remainder of the shaping of the seat—within the video linked right here. However if you wish to attempt it your self, you could run into an issue: Not many people have bandsaws with the clearance (and maybe the pep) to noticed a 12-inch-wide clean on edge. Within the images under, Tim demonstrates an alternate technique of reducing the news in a large seat. He started by ripping the complete seat clean in half.

With the clean lower in half, use a drawing bow to put out the paired curves on the entrance fringe of each seat halves.

To bandsaw the curve in every half, Tim double-stick-taped the workpiece to a tall shopmade sled—basically a sliding fence. Then he sawed alongside the format line. With these narrower boards, he didn’t must make the reduction cuts required when he was reducing the full-width clean; within the wider board the blade might need had an inclination to wander with out the reduction cuts.

With the curves lower, he unfold glue alongside the sting of each seat halves.

Then clamped the halves collectively, holding the again and finish surfaces flush with one another.

As soon as glued up, he faired the curve and formed the seat simply as he did with the full-width clean.
