Rick, I always enjoy watching the show. I was stumped by the jig used for contouring the legs for the 3 leg table. It struck me the jig would of been easier to use tilted on it's side with a guide bushing. The way your dad used it with a wooden strip riding on both sides seemed to rock a bit. I'm not questioning his wisdom, I'm just trying to understand why he choose this method?
Keep up the good work!

Mike, can you give me some more details on the show you watched...maybe the episode number found on www.routerworkshop.com, thanks Rick

Rick, it's 1307/1308; the one leaf round table. I think this design with the unique legs is outstanding. I have some purpleheart I have been saving for a special project and I think this will be it, perhaps with contrasting ash legs?
I want to take a moment to thank you and your dad for the many hours I have enjoyed learning from the show. I'm impressed with the way you have simplified construction by designing special jigs. I would be very happy to see a whole show devoted to building jigs. It seems like they are glossed over a bit in favor of using them to build projects. I really enjoy sharing my limited knowledge with begining woodworkers, and I hope they find as much enjoyment and satisfaction as I do in learning this craft.

OK, I will ask Dad today/tomorrow about the jig....and get the inside info on why?

 

[Mike]

Still waiting patiently...

 

[BobandRick]

I am coming with the info but Dad is in AZ. taking in the sun for a couple months. He mentioned that when he gets back help to discuss this jig and get you an answer.

Thanks for your patience...

Rick,

Why haven't you been on the show lately? I see your recorded intro, and tips. Just curious.
