Making Curved Applied Mouldings
HTML-код

- In this video, we show an approach to making custom curved mouldings, specifically for arch-top doors (though the technique works in other uses). We make use of the shaper, a small moulder, custom moulding knives, and a few high-tech tools to make patterns.

I cut out some of the cast on my hussey to run bigger knives. Its a little sketchy, but ive been able to duplicate everything ive ever needed. Currently, i have just under 70 profiles.
As for layout, i use a router since i dont have a cnc or laser.
Nicely done
hey thanks for the kind words. that was a long time ago. maybe it's time to make another video.
So great to see you back here, Dave! I can see the amount of work that goes into producing a video like this. But your explanations are just fascinating, and the results (both the woodwork and the video) are fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing it.
I've been grinding my own W&H knives for a few decades now, one thing I like to do on radiused moldings is to grind wings on the inside and outside of the profile so the knife determines molding size. I'll make a guide out of MDF and mount the blank to it by screwing up into the molding blank with brass screws into the meat of the profile. (Use brass cause it won't hurt your knifes when you place a screw wrong.) The wings do burn sometimes but a bit of sanding is less painful than cutting and running an unsupported blank.
Just found your video as I’m doing a similar job at the moment- great work, content like this is absolute gold for other joiners who are attempting the work for the first time.
Great video, practical demonstrations, not enough like these in the world. When confronted with all the set up steps for these, I often consider treating it as a fully cnc machined part, but definitely no cnc bits leave a finish like proper cutters in proper machines for the purpose.
yeah this is something i think about quite often. in fact, the next project i have coming up, all of the curved moulding is going to be made on the CNC, instead of with the moulder. in this case, for these doors, the vast majority of the moulding is straight, and for that, the moulder is a far, far better (and faster, and more efficient) approach. it's only the few curved pieces.... now, could i cut those pieces on the CNC and skip all of the steps with the moulder? yeah, i suppose, but would it look right? hard to say. i think it's a function of "all or nothing" - cut all the moulding on the CNC, or cut it all with the knife. just my $0.02. next project it's "all on the CNC."
@@curlandburl6937 it's the never ending dilemma of "what could I have done different?". But the results are what counts, good work!
@@brettwissel7356 thanks. appreciate the comments.
Strange how videos get recommended isn't it. this video is very well done. I am not a huge user of shapers, but I do use them frequently. Mine are normal American type shapers, However, this is quite a Martin shaper you have. Your setup is terrific and your skills are fantastic as well. good job.
very kind words - thank you. i want to make more videos, but jobs get in the way...
Great video. Your demos are clear and informative. I have yet to use my Aigner boumouldmaster so your video will be helpful when I do. Keep the videos coming!
thanks for the kind words. honestly, making videos is a bit of a PIA. if you have anything in particular you'd like to see, let me know, and i'll try to work on it during an appropriate project.
Nice work. Thanks for the video. Your spiral cutter doesn't appear to have horizontally placed cutters for clean cuts on the edge 90° to the main cutting plane, yet the moulding rebate looked nice and crisp on both edges. I've not managed to achieve this with my spiral cutter block. Cheers, David
hey thanks for the comment. so, there are two cutters - the big steel spiral cutter does not have wing cutters, it can't really do rabbets. i'm using that only to true up to the patterns. for the rabbet cuts, i'm using the amana shear cutter (it's red), and that does have insert top and bottom cutters for rabbets. i wish i had a spiral cutter with wings, maybe one day....
Top class work✋
Could you please share a link to a program from the beginning of the video?
Nice equipment, I'm surprised you dont use some type of starting pin on shaper table
hi mark - so, the Aigner hood has that built in. the guide bushing is "flared" on the sides so that when you start, you're off the cutter. it's elliptical, and only follows the cutter at the apex of the guide. it "engineers out" the starting pin. in a world where i'm using a straight bearing instead of the aigner hood bushing, i ensure that the template runs long relative to the workpiece so that i'm firmly on the bearing.
What is the name of that fence for pattern but cutting?
hi zachary, that's the Aigner Bowmouldmaster fence - they make a small one and a big one. the radius inserts come in a few sizes as well. it's a fantastic fence system, functionally, but also for safety and dust collection. the downside is the price, of course....
What press are you using? Great video as usual!
the vacuum press? i built it. the top frame and poly is from vacupress, but the assembly is mine. i covet the Barth, but there's no way i have room for it. plus, mine works fine.
Where did you get the shaper hood , is it specific to your machine ?
that hood for curved work is made by Aigner. they make it in two sizes. it's a great piece, both for safety, and for dust collection.
Why don’t you bolt a false high fence to your spindle moulder fence cut a curved saddle fix that to the false fence and feed your flat curved piece through the block it’s a lot quicker easier and when set up correctly just as safe plus your not limited to the width and length of your thicknesser table
well, lots of ways to do something i guess. i use that technique for some mouldings, but this approach works well for me for flat work.
the moulding knives are made by Tim Yunger at customouldingknives.com - tim's great, i've worked with him for many years, and can't recommend him more highly.
