I'm trying to make a shackle for a lock out of "Making Wooden Locks" by Tim Detweiller. I'm trying to make an oversized version- however- I need essentially make a 2" round, u-shaped piece of wood. While I could rout it with a 1" round over- I only need one and don't want to shell out the $45 for one cut. The final project will be a "U" that is 2" around and would fit in a 10" x 16" x 2" box.
Anyone have a good work around that is pseudo-safe?
Stumped,
