Knee bracket Leg pattern (enlarge 400%) cutting the second side and leaves the entire pattern visible. On the outside of the leg (above the knee) there isn't an easy way to leave a bridge, so I complete the cut and use a hot-melt glue gun to reattach the waste. When the first side is cut, turn the blank 90° and remove the waste on the second side. The second side of the leg can be finished 28V4" Cut the outside shape of the leg on the band saw, but leave a bit of material (the bridge), which keeps the waste intact until after the second face is cut. V2" grid Knee pattern (enlarge 200%) without bridging the cuts. Once the second side is removed, return to the first side and finish the cuts by removing any connections. Repeat the process on the other three legs. Turning the Leg With the leg post and leg rough-shaped, mount the leg onto the lathe. Use the illustration to mark the center of the top and bottom of each leg blank, and mount the first leg on center. The turning starts at the foot of the leg. Begin by ensuring that the blank turns free and is not making contact with any part of the lathe. At your slowest speed, turn the foot with a gouge to a 23/l"-diameter just to the top edge of the foot (lVs"). On the inner part of the leg a bridge isn't possible, so I use a spot of hot-melt glue to hold the waste piece temporarily in place. With the waste pieces removed, the four legs quickly assume their classic cabriole shape. 98 Popular Woodworking October 2004 |
