Winnebago – counter top rail

After a night of thunder and lighting plus a domestic disturbance across the (what was used to be a quiet) road that required police attendance it's turned out to be a nice morning so it's off to the workshop to do a wood job for family friends and their motorhome.

I need to reproduce this counter top rail that will be fixed to the other side.

This is what the profile looks like, it’s a job for a router.

 
On the table saw I ripped off a 50mm length from what was provided. We need to select a bit with the right profile, a 22mm rounding over will be fine.


Adjusting the bit depth so the shoulder only lightly cuts into the material.

We need to radius one end, I could cut it on the 9” bandsaw but...

The disc sander will be OK. I used a metal washer (mud flap washer) to pencil the arc.

We only have one lump of wood so no room for mistakes, better have a practice on a scrap piece of timber.

Straight from the practice one to the job piece and do it, turn over and do the other side - done and looks OK.

A bit of light sanding to finish this part and we can rip down to requested size height.

ALDI Taurus table saw with a decent Irwin 40 tooth blade, adequate for my needs. We need to set width to 50mm.

And finally cut off at 550 mm.

Enough for now, time for lunch.
