I finally finished the eight posts for the gazebo.  Here are a couple pictures 
with them all sanded up.  Each post is milled from an 6x6 Fir post that is 7.5" 
long.  There are four different designs:

1. Flute: 1" core box with 6 index positions

2. Rope Twist: 3" rope twist bit with 3 starts and a 3" classic spiral on the 
top and bottom.  One left turned and one right turned.

3. Barley Twist: 3" barley twist bit with 1 start.  One turned left and one 
turned right.

4. "Tight Flute": 3/8" core box with 20 index positions.  This has a 2" Plunge 
classic bit on the top and bottom.

 

The rounded part is 5" in diameter.  The bottom milled area is about 16" in 
length and the middle milled area is about 24" in length. I have some cracking 
but overall, they turned out as planned.

Hi Everyone,

 

Today I was determined to extend the 1200.  The posts for my project are 90 
inches.  I had two 20" pieces or aluminum rail that ended up being the perfect 
length.  The first picture shows the simple extension.  I put a brace under the 
end to keep it level.  The second picture shows the post fitting :).  When I 
got to the second post, I nearly had a major problem as the weight of the post 
and the soft wood meant the clamp on the end started to move through the wood 
as it turned.  So I cut a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to size, screwed it on the 
end and placed a center hold on that - worked perfect with no slippage. The 
last picture shows the completed post.  Much of the day was spent setting up 
and testing but I was able to get two of these done today.  6 more posts to go.

 

The wood is a bit wet so some of the areas looked a bit frayed so I'll have 
more sanding to do than I hoped but the major work is done.

 

Tracy
