Precise Wood Shell Wedges

This is the simplest and most precise way to cut wedges to make wood shells with - or other projects with stave construction. The precision depends on how precisely the triangles are made for the router table jig - a very easy task using a paper pattern along with my precision polygon table saw jig.

I like the way you take something that is just plain beautiful naturally and make it stunningly beautiful

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thank you!

Nice jig Steve. And thanks for reminding us of the vac hold down. Thank you 🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷💉

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thank you, Mike! Yeah, the vacuum clamp is very handy only having one pad.

[@MultiTom1956]

Hi Steve, looks absolutely beautiful 😊

[@Steve.Garrison]

Making nature even more fascinating :)

[@Steve.Garrison]

More fascinating by repetition! How are you, Shaun?

@@Steve.Garrison Very well Steve. Turns out I've been practicing for lockdown for the last 18 months, I never knew i was that clever. Make more vids, we dont watch the telly no more :)

[@Steve.Garrison]

@@express375 I'm trying. I've been watching TH-cam too much so I thought I would get out and try to get back into it on the other side of the screen.

Thanks, Johnathon!

Always like checking out your videos. You come up with a lot of awesome stuff and great ideas.

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thank you!

[@andrewmyers7131]

Nicely done Steve.

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thank you, Andrew!

[@erikb89]

You always have such great ideas Steve.!!! I’ve used several of them. 😁 Any thought on a new book with your new methods?

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thanks, Erik! I've always done eBooks and patterns entirely on my own, haven't thought much about an actual book with a publisher and all.

[@JohnColgan.]

Simple, elegant and it works !! Kilaidescooe effect when you trimmed alternate pieces
Love the colours in that wood, what is it ? Got any spare offcuts?

[@Steve.Garrison]

The wood is eastern red cedar, and it's pretty common around here in Arkansas, I wish it was just a little harder.

[@dinobat5266]

Could you check the link for the vacuum pump? It doesn't seem to be working.

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thanks for letting me know, it should work now.

[@ripjack13]

Awesome job Steve. Very cool....now to find some time to make one.

[@Steve.Garrison]

Thanks!

[@marlawhite3682]

So if I used this jig to make my wages and then flat sand then cut the shells out?

[@Steve.Garrison]

Make the wedges and cut segments first, then flat-sand the joints just before gluing together.

[@marlawhite3682]

@@Steve.Garrison thanks so much!!! This sure helps!!! AS I have a good bandsaw but cheep table saw

[@Steve.Garrison]

@@marlawhite3682 Great! I think this way is probably safer than using a table saw, too.
