He did a multistage router table process, cutting the bottom/front of the bonnet, and leaving the higher portion of the pediment for later removal. He used his router table, rather than a shaper, reflecting the tools more likely to be available to 'one of us'. I thought that the procedure was shown in greater detail than most of the rest, since it was really new ground for his program. I also thought that, having seen how he did it, I could conceivably do something like that myself, with the tooling already in my shop. Not that I regularly aspire to Queen Anne style.
Norm made a comment on the episode of TOH that aired this week in the Bay Area that this highboy piece was the most challenging project he had tackled to date. So it seemed to me.
Once again, he showed his real talent, which is making things accessible, and empowering hobbyists. The pros already know this stuff.
