[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by smcgill</i> <br /><br />Some where there was an article on building one! I blew up the plans full size and mounted it on a board! I then made each piece to fit & put in blocking to hold each piece in place - so I could glue & nail it! The original pieces I saved as templates so that I could set up and cut 20-30 of each piece! Then they were set into the jig and glued & nailed! I tried to make it so I could flip it over and nail the other side !(Air nailer !!)Take it apart and do it all over again untill you have as many need! I then flowted each bent in wood preserve untill it wouldn't take any more.You then can cut up stock to connect each piece together! You can go as long as you want by just making the bents! If I wanted a shorter bent I just cut It shorter! I used the top as a reference on my saw fence! <br />It's not very hard once you get the hang of it! I also cut extra incase some split or broke ! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Could you e-mail me a scan of one of these full sized templates? Or reference the magazine issue from which you got it.
