Alpine Technical Workshops Curved Door & Window Class

Tom Gensmer All Messages By This Member #140326 I'm writing in response to a request from bacchus6015 (Joe) about the Alpine Curved Door & Window class.? ? This was an inaugural class, in that it was the first for the year, and the first dedicated to the topic. The group was awesome, mostly returning Alpine alums, most of us knew each other and had a great time.? ? The class was focused on producing a small-scale, Euro-style, arch-top door. Joe Calhoon generated a drawing of the proposed door, which we then transferred to a sheet of MDF to produce a full-scale drawing, which we then turned into a machining template:? ? ? The top of the sash and frame were produced using segmented arches, so we spent a fair amount if time discussing how/why/where to locate the joints, setting up a finger joint cutter, gluing/assembly techniques, and so on.? ? ? ? ? By Saturday morning, we had processed all of the stiles, rails, panels, etc... into a door and frame, complete with the Zenit lift-off hinges and weather stripping:? ? ? ? ? While I've built some arch- and elliptical- top storm doors in the past, I really appreciated the opportunity to see some other techniques. We wrapped up the door Saturday morning, and spent the rest of the day discussing some other curve-related work, such as curved-in-plane ("bow-front") sashes, joinery techniques, etc....? ? A big "Thank You!!!" to Joe Calhoon to accommodating this one-shot class, and to the other students for making it such a fun trip.? ? ? -- Tom Gensmer Heritage Home Renewals, LLC Minneapolis, MN

Joe Calhoon All Messages By This Member #140379 Ed, if you had been here we would have use Shaper for the templates! I’m using it a lot for hardware with the plate but still not proficient with the tape. I need another lesson! We router trammeled the templates
