What I want to know is, say I want the thinnest part of my leg to be 1 in at the ankle. But I'm rounding it off. So, shouldn't I make my pattern to compensate for the removal of material to round it? Otherwise the piece will actually end up thinner than desired?
Great thanks. I wNt to make a French style dining table with cabriole legs but have a scroll as the foot. I can’t find a video on the basics of carving it (setting it out etc. do you know where I can find such a thing? Thank you in advance.
scrolls are quite tricky. I worked out an approach but that would be a whole video in itself. I hope that there is one out there, but I'm not aware of it. I worked it our by drawing it on a poplar blank then using a combination of a saw and a big gouge to generate the shape, then carved the details.
@@jeanine6492 I drew the spirals on the piece and used a saw to cut that spiral vertically and a gouge to remove the wood horizontally. That probably sounds wierd but if you try it you may be surprised. I didn't get the idea in advance - I just realized as I was carving it the there were two surfaces that made up the spiral and that this was a fast way of making the waste wood go away.
Nice job
Really, really interesting!!! 😃
Thanks for all the tips!
Stay safe there, guys! 🖖😊
Both of these videos have taken much of the intimidation of cabriole legs out of the way. Thank you both for taking the time to help us.
I'm glad you liked them. It's really not hard but looks magical.
Thank you very much.
Everything that you show is very interesting and informative ...
Take care of yourself.
I look forward to continuing. :)
I love this job
This man is a star!
Ha.
Another great video. Thanks.
this was wonderful ..thanks guys ...
Cabriole leg demystified, thanks ! I was almost positive a top hat and magic wand would be part of the required tools !
Just checking to see if you had a video on Wood chisels I may have missed it thank you Jeff from VA.
his wry humor is great
I'm glad you approve.
The tool list doesn’t show up. Only the Veritas spokeshave. I’m interested in the round file that looks like a planer.

Nice work bench, Moravian?
Yes. Joshua made nine of them for teaching his classes.
Learning lots from these instructions.
Thanks much. What type of wood is being used for these legs?
swiss pear

I have been looking and can’t find a video to help me so far. Thanks for at least replying, I appreciate it.
