Step 13End curve on underside of top
I dont know that I have found a good way of doing this step. Suggestions are welcome.
What I did was to create a sort of platform for the router to sit on so that when the platform rode the ends of the legs the router bit would follow the same path. Hopefully the pictures and sketchup model explain this better than I have.
This worked ok, but I still had to do a lot of cleaning up work with the belt sander as it wasnt perfect. It was heavy and awkward to hold which led to me dropping the cutter down on the work a few times and those "imperfections" needed to be filled.
This jig cut the table top to a fragile point so I clamped a batten across it and squared it up. This gave about a 5mm thick edge at the end point.
