The decorative undercarriage is a matter of choice, and because the clock is somewhat traditional, Paul decided to add the feature to his version here. The steps are simple and quick to do, even without using any machines at all. By creating the roundover followed by the coved profile and joining the two together, we create something of a more classic look in a matter of a few minutes. Using a traditional carving gouge, we make the cove from a solid section of oak and show you how to refine the cove using a card scraper. With the main block attached to the underside of the clock, we are to transform the whole appearance of the piece.
Thanks for the make!
Hi
Great video. Great make. I am confused by the size of that gouge, what sort of gouge is that being used in this video? Is it a 1 inch or a 13mm or???
Thanks
Rob
A 1 inch as he shows with the circle on the wood, watch again and you’ll see/hear.
The width of the gouge is 13mm? So how deep is the curve of the gouge? This is what I am trying to work out? I am unsure of the sizing of gouges especially in terms of the curve and it does not seem to be standardised.
according to the chart it appears to be an 11sweep. It doesn’t matter you can smooth it out with any one you have. I cannot attach a pic but google gouge sweep charts and there are a lot of them.
Thank you for sharing your Great Ideas!
bonjour cher Paul, as usual thanks for this very instructive and pleasant moment with you, 27 delicious mn. Regards to you and your team (camera …)
We need to find more wood?
