SuperStation Project - Standing Bar  - "Shaping the Special Molding"

	This may seem like it is out of sequence, and it is, but for a good reason. On the top of the bar, there is a broad piece of molding with a very gentle curve. Rockler sells the Bar Rail in cherry but since this unit is of birch ply and poplar, I decided that ordering the cherry pieces would be unnecessarily expensive, and I could make a piece of molding that would be close.
When I was trying to figure out how to do the very slight cove cut, I read of a new product shown at IWF. CMT was showing a cove cutter for the table saw. A phone call later, and I had the prototype that they were using at the show and since I only have it for a few days, I have to get cracking on that molding now. It is going to be fun creating some jigs to help do this safely. This is definitely a serious cutter for the table saw.
	The Plans say that the stock is 2 1/2" X 4 3/8" and that the short sides (2) are 24 1/4" and the long side is 71 5/8". So I got 3 14' lengths of 1" X 8" stock.   Like the large panels, I can't handle 14 footers in my shop, so I line them up together and cut them to more manageable lengths.  I try not to do any cuts by eye. It is just as easy to use a guide.
At the table saw, with the rip blade installed, I cut all the lengths to a width of 5" — more than the width I need, but I will trim to the final width after I have glued up the 3 pieces.    Well, I got a start on the Bar unit. Next time, I will use the new cove cutter. Cutting cove on the table saw is a totally new experience. I will do some "homework" before I start this next week.
