Re: Apologies to the group
Bryce I don't know what you have to apologize for.
As far as I know, anyone explaining, clarifying, or demonstrating the capabilities and features of Felder machines on this site is doing what the site is intended to do.
Just because you have shown how to use something that others want to complain about is nothing wrong, it actually might help someone who is interested in a Felder machine but might be turned away because they have heard there is an issue for some that isn't for others.
I appreciated your video.

Re: pedestal base help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Jason, This would be a fun project. KRP described the basic plan. The only thought I have is whether it would help align things better if you glued the staves in qtr circles before gluing them together. This assumes that the number of total staves are a multiple of 4. The 4 qtr should have 90 deg edges which can be trued with a simple jig given your dimensions. This should allow minor adjustments and should make the final glueup less stressful. Just my $0.02 Imran Malik On Dec 20, 2024, at 8:01?AM, Jason Holtz via groups.io <jholtzy@...> wrote:
? Nice work Mac,
Did you carve all the spoons too? I enjoy making spoons, but my wrists and elbows do not like me doing so. Small doses it's okay.

Saw a video on IG yesterday of guy doing bent laminations of veneers over a PVC pipe. That would be another potential way? to make scalloped staves and not have the coving operation. I could just make a slider jig to hold them for taper/beveling. Probably even more work that way though...

Re: 160 mm dust collection ducting in the USA
I'm also going to suggest going with 7" ducting. I couldn't afford to spend the money on the quick connect stuff, but find the spiral wound duct to be not only very resonably priced, but super easy to put up. When i changed all the ductwork to use an RL200, i went with 8" spiral wound main runs eventually reducing to 6 and 5". In all i had 50' of 8", 30' of 6" the same of 5" plus all the wye's etc. Everything is screwed together with self tapping screws and the joints are also taped. It took me roughly 6 to 8 hours to do by myself and I am very happy with the performance of the whole system.?

Bryce

Apologies to the group
Hi all,
I recently posted here with a link to a video i made about my experiences with the short crosscut fence. If it sounded like i was in any way being critical of the group, or trivializing the issue with the fence, i sincerly apologize. My intention was to offer help to those out there that are having difficulties in getting the fence to go back on in the same position each time nothing more.
Regards,
Bryce

Re: pedestal base help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJason, kind of in the same vein these are some spoon holders that were made from leftovers from longer cylinders I used tapered tongue, and groove cutters with tilting shaper I also made some tapered cylinders for drum bodies. This one is White oak scoop Chesil carved. I was trained by a porcupine.

Re: pedestal base help
Thanks Steven,
Yes a circle is certainly easier than an ellipse! No metal band around this top. It will be solid, customer picked the planks already. I am not concerned about sag, I was just thinking that spreading the load out with some outriggers might help if it's concentrated in an 18" or so circle in the center. Similar concept as the spider on commercial metal base tops.

Re: pedestal base help
Thanks for all the responses so far. PR? I think you are on to something there doing all the coving first on rectangular staves, then taper/bevel in one operation on the slider. I've done a number of coopered stave things in the past but never a complete barrel, and definitely not a tapered one. I've assembled a few staves at a time where clamps still work okay, then used Dominos for alignment to put sections together. Sometimes band clamps come in handy for that sort of thing.
?
Jonathan, so if it weighs a ton you think I'm fine with the 24" diameter? I'd love to avoid the headache of the ellipse angles.
?
Mac, who's Steve??

My top will have no metal band around it. That's just asking for trouble.

Short crosscut fence inaccurate?
Hi All,
Just thought i would make a little video for those who have the short crosscut fence but are having difficulties with its accuracy. I don't have the issues that others have talked about, so thought i would show others how i go about putting the fence on and what i do to try to ensure repeatability when installing it. As i explain in the video, i don't really understand how the fence could not go back on in the same position each time so i hope this will help some users out.?
Regards,
Bryce
