263504 "Joseph Sullivan" <joe@j...> 2017‑10‑12 Another project question
Friends:

To go into a cabin where I have already build a British A&C-style bookcase and
will over the next  three or four years, be making a settle, Morris chair and
wardrobe to match, I also need a floor lamp.  My concept is for oak with a taper
top to bottom.  It would be made of four pieces of q-sawn stock  in the old way
so that each side shows medial ray fleck.  Being long edges, it can be clamped
and glued, thus limiting tricky joinery.

The challenge is the compound angle.  I'll be joining four faces that are
tapering.  The closest I have come to this is in coopering, but with that I felt
my way into the angles with a paper pattern and a sliding T-bevel, and it was a
single angle throughout, with no taper.  Here, I don't know where to start.
Looked on-line and there is a page with a calculator for pyramids etc., but it
is for a table saw which I don't use, and gives angles I don't quite follow.
You would think that the angle of the bade to the table would be the one I need
to plane my angles, but I can't quite see how to get that number from that
calculator.

Any advice?

Can you make a full size drawing and work it out that way?

Not sure how to allow for the taper in a drawing.  If I drew the sides, it
couldn’t show the angel, and if I drew the base I’d need to know the angle to
avoid a simple 45.

263507 Ed Minch <ruby1638@a...> 2017‑10‑12 Re: Another project question
Just thinking here - the taper has nothing to do with the angle - it is the same
for the full height.  And I think it is just a little less than 45° - perhaps
42-43°.  There has to be a book somewhere that has the angles in it.

Here’s one now:

Popular Mechanics has published it every few years throughout.
  "Hoppers" (technically what this is) 4, 5, 6 or 8 sided
I don't know how to search for you but I assume its posted somewhere.

If all else fails let me know and I will take pictures of the chart.

Kerf it in. I think that's the proper term for shipbuilding, making tight
threshing floors, etc. Rough-cut the boards, rough-plane them, then run a saw
down the horribly open, gappy joints. Repeat until you get a tight fit. For your
lamp you might clamp the four sides together, then saw down two diagonally
opposed joints at once. Alternate one diagonal and the other diagonal. You can
adjust and correct the tapers as you go along. Sneak up on the final shape.

Trying to do this with numbers is just going to screw you up. Rely on your tools
and your eye, do it the easy, simple, neo-traditional way.

I will probably never build this lamp but since I have an interest in Arts and
Craft furniture
I intend to save this picture.

Needless to say I am duly impressed’

I assume the height and depth would be determined by your own measurements
Or how about a table lamp?

In my last note I mentioned that there are plenty of people on this list whose
skill is light years beyond anything I’d undertake, and as I hit “send” here’s
an example of what I was talking about……

I will mention that having a son who is a mathematician comes in awful handy. He
has worked out things like this for me (including translating scale ratios in
the process) but when I look at this kind of complex joinery I content myself to
just enjoy the math.

Now I feel like I have to go practice my saw cuts and chisel work. :)
263552 "Maddex, Peter" <peter.maddex@n...> 2017‑10‑14 Re: Another project question
Thanks for the kind comments.


Its nothing but a box with a couple of long sides and an arm.

I did have to use pythagoras to work out the distance across the arm for the
pivot.

It was made to go at side of a settee and reach over, but you could make one to
any size.


Question for assembled glooterati, I can't think of hand tool way to cut a
circular dado to make a lazy susan like in the lamp base.

I am guessing a treadle lathe could do it, but a great wheel lathe would be a
better choice. Lacking those I would try a trammel. A piece of saw blade with a
few teeth at the end of the trammel would get you, eventually, a cut. Extend a
bit and repeat. After that, careful chisel work.  Wonder how a router at the end
of a trammel would/could work?

Bill, speculating like crazy this afternoon.

Mmm like a giant stringing cutter, that would work.

What a good question!

carve it - if you insist on doing it in situ.  Make up a cutter to be mounted in
a trammel head to do the nicking, then follow with a chisel to remove a veneer
depth - repeat.

Or, you could rearrange the design a little 
Build up the base using a solid bottom, a piece with a circular hole the outside
diameter, and a circle the inside diameter.  Use the material cut out to form
the hole to form the disc.  The grain will match.  Glue together.   All done
with saws, and maybe a shaped block for abrasive to smooth off the curves.   No
burn marks.  No jigs to make.  No earmuffs needed.
