Re: Discussion on gk---candlesticks---2009
First I marked the center of each end of candle stick, now you need to pick the wide side of candle so that you get the best grain pattern you want. On the tailstock end I moved the offset mark 5mm towards this side and away from this side and mark it. On the other end I marked a 2.5mm offset from the center making sure to get both marks on the same plane. I then round stock with normal Legacy method. I now add a side template I have made to the pattern holder. Using any straight bit I mill from the back side of the legacy. When this is down to pattern I remount both ends to one side using the 2.5 and 5 mm marks in the same direction, then repeat milling. Remount again on the other side and repeat milling, Then sand, sand and sand. Hope that helps. Have a Great day Greg.

Re: Discussion on gk---candlesticks---2009
I thought I posted a different offset candlestick than the one shown. For the one shown you also need to shift the pattern 5mm up the Y axis when you do the first offset and then 5mm down the y axis for the second offset from the original zero point. I will post another picture for the one above so you can see how it looks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

RE: fancy dovetail joints
You make a normal dovetail with the fancy wood and your regular side piece. Then cut off the fancy board, leaving the glued together dovetail part, cut a new set of smaller tails in the middle of the fancy wood ones, and pins on your other board. Assemble. You end up with a liner on your dovetails. -Original Message- From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mi...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MACSWAG Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 4:30 PM To: Legacy Ornamental Mills Subject: fancy dovetail joints Hello chaps,how do you make those fancy contrasting woods dovetails,you can see them on the expensive Incra, tool rigs as examples,Aaron I think you wrote something on this a while back,what I'm trying to ask is how they make the dovetail lining within a dovetail,a pretty neat trick that looks,anybody know how it's done, Bill I'm still trying to make an example of your twists within a twist,within a twist,but not doing too well,can you give a work procedure step by step ,if you've got time to spare,to anyone interested,I have made some really good Ribbon twists using both a long straight 1/2 CUTTER,and a 2 core box cutter,recommended in a tip from Roger,my supplier,one of our little group,a Downs syndrome lad can make them,he takes his time and is very patient,I can always tell if he's getting agitated and I sort it,if he makes a mistake what the hell it's only wood,I wish we could get Curly Maple as reasonably priced as our Canadian cousins,it cost the dickens over here,that's all for now, MAC. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Re: fancy dovetail joints
Hello Mac Those fancy dovetails joints are pretty neat. Basically you are making two sets of dovetails, one on top of the other. You cut your dovetails, mate it up to the contrasting wood, glue the two together. After the glue has dried,you cut the board flat again. Then you will make your second sets of cuts, this time (spacing is the key) you will mate up to the same wood as your base wood is. This will give you the effect of making a contrasting joint. maple and walnut, ebony and holily... The trick is to have an reliable and accurate system, Joint tech. Incra. are the two big guys on the this market, but other new comers are getting into the game too. Rockler wood working has a nice cheep Incra set. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11494filter=incra this is a nice set. I own one . Its simple and cheap. the templates make this system very easy to use. (Big question, Do I use mine often, and the answer is NO, but I do use it, when I need to. it was worth the price I paid.)( On sale!) ;-) NOW! Lets see some of those Ribbon twist stuff of your!

Re: fancy dovetail joints
Wow Bill, That's a real sign of a craftsman if you can over come the crude measuring of the legacy and all of the slop. I never thought it was really practical in the machines basic form. I've heard other talk about using generic template and mounting them to the template follower, but I don't know if it's a common or practical practice on the legacy. After watching a few videos on youtube about the Incra LS, I really like the idea of using 32 tooth per inch rack and a lock to gain incremental accurate movements. I can see one mounted on the y-axis. Maybe even a short one on the template follower. Every day there is something new to learn. This idea could solve my mini moves problem.

Re: fancy dovetail joints
Its not too hard run a cor box bit up 2 halfs then glue them together to make a square with a hole up the middle, I used a 3inch corbox for the first spiral( i had one made for another job I was doing for a customer so the bit was free) and a 11/2 corbox for the second, after its dry I machined up cores for both out of mdf a nice sliding fit not loose, then caps for each end to attach the index hubs. I used a wood screw to stop the caps from slipping while machining. I removed the corners and as much of the bulk on the saw bench to get as close to the 6inch dia of the first spiral as the revo without mods will only do 6inch dia. then turn your spirals which ever you want.one LH one RH then the middle LH I think I used a 4 start with 2 spirals removed I would have to look back on my notes to tell you for sure. only after it is finished remove the core or it will surly fly to bits during machining. the smallest spiral was a 3 start rope I think it was done with a couple of steady rests to keep it from moving the steady was just some mdf clamped to the rails with a square cut in it for the wood to run in, rough but worked ok. the only other tip is to make sure the blanks fit inside each other before you make the spirals hard to remove that little bit later if it is to tight. then after you finish slip them together and make caps for the ends I glued nothing together as I wanted to be able to disassemble them for staining or painting at a future time. I just used screws in the ends to hold it all together hope this helps im not good at explaining this stuff some of the other guys might know of a better or easier way but that is basically how I did it, I must have a go at 4 inside each other for fun one day Bill - Original Message - From: MACSWAG davidcraig.dil...@virgin.net To: Legacy Ornamental Mills legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 10:30 AM Subject: fancy dovetail joints Hello chaps,how do you make those fancy contrasting woods dovetails,you can see them on the expensive Incra, tool rigs as examples,Aaron I think you wrote something on this a while back,what I'm trying to ask is how they make the dovetail lining within a dovetail,a pretty neat trick that looks,anybody know how it's done, Bill I'm still trying to make an example of your twists within a twist,within a twist,but not doing too well,can you give a work procedure step by step ,if you've got time to spare,to anyone interested,I have made some really good Ribbon twists using both a long straight 1/2 CUTTER,and a 2 core box cutter,recommended in a tip from Roger,my supplier,one of our little group,a Downs syndrome lad can make them,he takes his time and is very patient,I can always tell if he's getting agitated and I sort it,if he makes a mistake what the hell it's only wood,I wish we could get Curly Maple as reasonably priced as our Canadian cousins,it cost the dickens over here,that's all for now, MAC. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

After watching a few videos on youtube about the Incra LS, I really like the idea of using 32 tooth per inch rack and a lock to gain incremental accurate movements. I can see one mounted on the y-axis. Maybe even a short one on the template follower. Every day there is something new to learn. This idea could solve my mini moves problem. I guess I need to go look for some rack now. I'd be happy with 16 or even 8. -Tim - Original Message - From: Bill Bulkeley bulke...@mmnet.com.au To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 5:48 PM Subject: Re: fancy dovetail joints I have never really wanted the incra dove tail jig I do any dovetails on the legacy imcluding the contrasting wood as explained its just a matter of doing it twice once with the differant color wood then once dry again a little smaller with the joining piece Bill - Original Message - From: Euro-Legacy r...@woodworkersworkshop.co.uk To: Legacy Ornamental Mills legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 10:52 AM Subject: Re: fancy dovetail joints Hi Mac Go look on the INCRA website and you will find out how simple it is to make, alternatively ring me in the morning and purchase an INCRA LS 17 WFNCSYS Jig, available now in metric or Imperial measurement system. Alternatively give it a little thought, two different coloured timbers glued and joined using dovetail joint, then when set cut the width of the coloured detail line required and remake the dovetails. It is actually simple, just like live when you know how and with a INCRA Jig anyone can make them if I can, even Bill down in oz who could call my mate Grahame at Professional Woodworkers Supplies and by an INCRA locally!
