I made this jig to hold the board so I can create a tapered column. I am tapering from 9 1/4" to 7" over 84". The jig follows the fence and the board is held at the right angle to the blade.
I simply cut the taper off of each board.
I then used a lost miter set up to cut a miter on the taper.
Finished columns. Now they just need the top moldings. getting closer folks... Anna, daddy's coming.....

Why not just use biskits?
That's it Frank... nothing like the smell of fresh cut lumber to clear the mind... for me, it's kind of zen like....

Did you prime all your cuts?.I know its a little late to ask
I primed all exposed edges. I did not prime the miters. I wanted the glue to hold and primer is a barrier to that.
I prime and back prime every thing especially cuts.
Last year when i rebuilt my front porch(no roof) I primed every t and g as they went in .The last porch lasted only 25 yrs.LOL .I made it out of fir and pine
Frank, I know you do good work. Thanks for showing this. It takes a lot of talent, patience, tools, and knowledge. I know Anna will be getting the best craftsman she can have for her renovations. Kev
