The OF1010 says "No router table, No Problem!"

Arched jamb for an arched exterior door. I didnt want to have to bend yet another piece just for the stucco mould so I decide to just make it integral.

I needed a way to route the arched jamb head on edge. First to create the 3/4" x 1/4" rebate and then the cove profile for the stucco mould. the wood block clamped to the edge guide stabalized the router perfectly.

Believe it or not I don't own a router table.

Sweet Eiji
Is that your mini press in the background.

I like the way you mounted the clamp to the block and to the edge guide.  Great thinking. [smile] [smile]

Thanks,

Yes that is my press or will be soon. I sublet my space and the press is there for me to use and purchase when I have the funds.

I have to say Im pretty impress with the quality of pics from my new droid phone.  [thumbs up]

Eiji, nice solution.
Last week I had to make some glazing beads for a fire door, all I had on site was a few bits of MDF offcut. Made a router table and fence in less than 30 mins. Of course to make a ring fence to do your job would have taken somewhat longer [big grin]

Note to self: Take a flipping digital camera to work, bonehead! [dead horse]

Very slick.  I've done something similar with a 12"x12" homemade plexi base on a 690.  How are you going to attach the arch to the jamb legs?

Interesting thread...seems like there have been a few threads on folks not using a router table for techniques typically reserved for router table use.  How many other users have foregone the router table option?  I love reading about all the different ways to complete a task.  I have a small router table and sometimes it is cumbersome to drag it out and set it up to complete something that could also be done safely hand held.

Slick setup Eiji. 
You've no doubt seen the quick & dirty router table(s) made by bridging a plunge router mounted in a piece of ply between two MFT's.
