Great video big dawg

Thanks for showing how to setup to cut a cove. Lots of videos on this topic, but yours explains it the most clearly

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Thank you

[@kblend7225]

I understood every part except what you did with the router and hand plane. Looks great!!!!

[@60lark63]

Thank you so much! I made a 10 foot bar rail. I’m a machinist, I did the work after hours at work on a Bridgeport milling machine. Ok, the cove I had to do on the table saw, but otherwise, it came out fantastic!

Perfect thank you

Great video! Man, you're like the Rob Zombie of woodworking. Thanks for creating and sharing. :)

I refinished our basement over a year ago and built an eight foot bar in it. I bought a cheap ($59) piece of laminate countertop to (temporarily) put on top of it until I had some extra time and money to upgrade it. Looked at stone and found it to be way too expensive. I was going to fabricate a concrete one, but changed my mind because of the work that was involved. I found your video and chose to tackle this project. I couldn't be more happier with the final results. Your video was very instructional and super easy to understand. I wish I could show you a picture of it. You'd be proud. Thanks for the video.

Going to build a bar in our basement. I was wondering how to do that rail. Wow you made it look very easy. I have some wood working skills from working my late father whom did working a lot as a hobby. Hoping ours turns out as good as yours. Thanks

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! building a party bus in Nashville and was going to have to pay $400 to buy from Home Depot and wait 10 days. You’re the best!!

I'm fairly new to woodworking. Just want to say that your skill really shows and you are inspirational.

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Tha k you

[@michaelmagaruh7767]

That's amazing you made that in your shop. I just got one priced out mahogany for a restaurant, they usually use a moulding machine with special knives. It was $800 for the custom knife profile and another $200 to cut it for 32'. You saved a good deal of money doing it on your own, great job!

Thank you for sharing this content, it was just what I was after. I did change the dimensions to make it work for me. I also found that multi passes with the table saw worked well instead of the router. However mine was only 4 foot. Thanks again

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Your welcome

[@bartosullivan8050]

Watching your skill was truly inspiring. Have you done this with some hardwoods like White Oak or Walnut? If so, did that make things more challenging?

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

hello thank you yes i have you just have to go more slower on the saw cause its a harder materiel it harder to cut in

[@kerrysprang4361]

A real pro!!

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Thank you

[@vickipitts37]

You make it look easy. Great job.

That was an AMAZING VIDEO!!! I'm not sure I have the confidence to try it just yet, however, if i do i hope i'm successful. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! This is a true how to video from a very skilled person, I'm not sure how anyone who's viewed this didn't like and subscribe, SMH

Great stuff. Any concerns with making the edge with walnut?

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Thank you not at all walnut and maple both nice I choose pine for customer to be cost effective

[@carmelitasherer1329]

Great Video. What size of round over router bit are you using. My guess is 1 inch. Getting ready to do a bar build for my son and your videos have provided much good input. Thanks, Devon

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Thank you yes 1 inch

[@joelapierre1607]

Great video. Could you please post a side view or cut away of the dimensions, angles, depth of cuts? Maybe even a template? Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Yes I will this weekend sometime

Looks great just what I was looking to do

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Thank you bar vid is coming out today sometime

[@jormawails]

that was so cool did you make one pass with the router and use the hand plane on an angle for the part you couldnt use the table saw Thanks

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Yes

[@JustJustinRobotics]

2 queations: What are your table saw settings when you make the 20° cuts. What is the blade height and what is the fence set at? I can't seem to get the cuts right. Also, What router bit did you use to bore out where you couldnt make the angle cut? Thank you and amazimg video!

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

The router bit is a flush trim bit and the blade hight is 3/4 of an inch hight

[@joeysowell116]

I have been watching how you make you bar rails. Do you do a rounded corner for the rail or mitered corner. Do you have a video for that.

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

Hello no I don't have any videos on that I just miter them

[@joeysowell116]

@@ltscustomwoodworks4052 ok that probably what I am going to do. Making it rounded seems like it would be difficult to do and figure out

[@ralphmickle1771]

Do u set the saw blade at 20 degrees?

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

I dont angle the blade at all

[@j.dipersio3550]

@11:02 was there a screw up? the cut was no where even close to the line that you drew?

[@Carrpocalypse]

I thought the same, but I blew it up and watched it carefully and saw that on one of the 20 degree cuts, the top of the blade didn't start at the line, it met the line. I experimented on a scrap piece of wood yesterday and it worked as demonstrated. Now, I'm trying to wrap my mind around how he used a flush trim router on the last 20 degree cut. I can probably jig something up and use a straight cut bit if I think of it as a 90 degree angle based on the first 20 degree cut...

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

yes thank you

[@jormawails]

just wondering if I went to home depot what piece of wood would I ask for sorry for the rookie question

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

PINE

[@Georges_Workshop]

I have a question. When you are doing your 20 degree angle cuts, what is the height of the blade? Are you still cutting at 1/2 in depth or did you raise the blade up for the thickness of the bar top material?

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

no just 1/2 inch

[@Georges_Workshop]

@@ltscustomwoodworks4052 Thanks! I am attempting to make this for my bar. This is a great video.

[@ltscustomwoodworks4052]

[@tracyfoor4336]

I plan on doing this same thing for My brothers bar top, what size blade are You using on Your table saw please.

Buen día puedes decir cuales son las medidas de la madera

Use a push stick on a 5” rip but too cool for safety glasses?
