Entryway Bench Part 6 - All rung out

We pick up today with the bottom rungs cut to length.  Here they are hanging out on the bottom shelf not doing much of anything.

Still just sitting around.

If you rungs don`t do something soon I`m going to ...

Oh great, the lower stretcher joined them and still nothing`s getting done!

Here we go!  Step 1 is to double stick tape the template onto the rung.

After trimming the curve as close to the template as possible on the band saw I clamp the rung to the table.

The router that was prominent in the last two pictures finally got plugged in and made the curve flush with the template.

I cut into the rung on both sides using the tablesaw.

Here`s the end of one rung after it's been rough cut on the bandsaw.

I had to peel the double sided tape off of the rung with a card scraper.  You can see the curled tape below.

Those lazy rungs are now hard at work making the bench look awesome.

Still looking awesome.

Ok, the top needs some work next, it`s not so awesome yet.

Cheers!
