Re: pedestal base help

Jason, I know you have a KF the tilting spindle on it so if you have an analog reader for the tilting spindle then I¡¯d take the diameter divided by how many segments you wanna make and set the angle for that and then I think it¡¯s really important to use the beveled tongue and groove cutter so everything locates easily and you don¡¯t have to screw around with biscuits or festival 10 pieces.
I have 2 1/2 inch wide with a small with a small bevel 1/4 by 1/4on it in the middle that would be more than happy to loan you.
Get a couple chunks of high speed steel 60¡ã corrugation and grind up scallop.
Quite easy to do and make a jig to hold each individual piece at a right angle to the spindle and with the appropriate angle on the guide to give you the taper you need some of that taper can be developed in the actual pieces also i.e. white at the bottom on then the top.
If you¡¯d like, I can take a picture of the cutters.

Jason, you have certainly piqued our interest with this project. I hope you share progress and solutions as you go!

I would guess that the fins between each flute add considerable complexity and require even more accuracy in milling and aligning pieces. Getting all of those bits and pieces to line up and stay lined up during glue-up - oh my!

Imran brought up the issue of accuracy of the bevels. I have never built a staved piece, but the issue of accurate bevels comes up for segmented bowls. The inner and the outer surfaces of a bowl blank are removed as the piece is turned, so the joints must be tight all through the thickness. We resolve this with a wedgie jig that lets us easily cut complementary angles on each end of each segment. The exact angle is not significant as long as mating ends are complementary. I have no idea if that is practical for staves.

Good luck, and I hope your client appreciates you!
