Hi folks,
While using some tailed tools to make a bunch of cabinet doors today. Got to thinking what would be a good way to make a nice ogee or round over rail and stile with hand tools.
Simple rail and stile (or stick and cope if you prefer) without a molded edge is simple enough. M/T joinery and a groove plowed on the inside edge.
But what if you want a bit more fancy then a simple flat edge ?
Perhaps a small side beader to create the profile. A plow to do the groove and the typical M/T at the corners ? What would be a good way to miter (mitre for our overseas friends) for the corners ?
Perhaps a small ogee profile could be made with a couple H/R`s (hollows and rounds) then the plow and M/T ?
A scratch stock comes to mind for the ogee profile also.
Seems that the profile miters in the corners would be the hardest part to do.
Or am I missing something obivous here ?
Anyone have any thoughts, links or advice ?
Thanks
John Edwards
