I used something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSALD30?tag=arfcom00-20 ...to create a few different curve templates out of MDF. Once cut, they were sanded smooth to make sure the curves flowed well. These are a little different and are used to make slightly different shapes. These are then either taped or clamped to the board, and I use (usually) a 1/4" straight bit to route a channel about 1/4" deep in the board. Then you can use either a jigsaw or a bandsaw to cut down the center of the routed channel and then use a flush trim bit to clean the sides. For the inlays, I don't use anything thicker than 1/8". For alignment purposes you usually want your inlay width to be the same as what you cut, so a 1/4" channel means a 1/4" inlay. Glue and clamp, plane, and then do it all over if you want more curves.

I then used stain to weather and match the original floor flaws Stove apparently is a good one. Had it inspected and it's good to go but I have not used it yet. Had a 40' silver maple cut down and I got some of it for firewood out back. Needs stacked when the ground firms up. Can't say I love the location of the stove but the PO said it will easily heat the entire downstairs. Attached File Attached File |

Small mods to vise: Wood bushing is for chain saw sharpening. Heavy saw and trying to close vise, bushing keeps me from dinging teeth on chain on cylinder while holding and getting vise closed. Can use handle or impact to close vise.

Also made a set of handrails for my parents' church. It was a trick to balance the color between the cheesy newer laminate flooring and the old white oak pews and rails. Previously there was nothing to aid a very much aging congregation walking up and down the steps. And then one of them took a bad step and a dive, and then it was time to do something.
