a bit of consternation yesterday, when i found that most of the lumber i bought for this was almost the right size. after a bit of rethinking, i found it was easier to go with 2 of the curved ones, and 11 of the angled ones. either way, i got all of the blanks glued up, and ready for cutting.

busy day today, got all of the blanks edge planed, and the holes drilled. then i used the templates and drew the outlines of the angled and curved holders. next, it was off to the bandsaw for rough cutting the curved holders. then i cut all of the base miters for the angled holders on the miter saw. then off to the bandsaw with a quickly made jig to make the long angled cut. after all of that, i took the angled off cuts and discovered a bumper crop of door stops (i usually give one away with each purchase at craft shows). all that is left now is final sanding and finishing.

You are gonna need a vacation in a couple of months at this pace, Dan. Show season is right around the corner and it looks like you will be ready. Nice work.

Nice production work.
I made a bunch of those quite a few years ago but were just from a one piece flat board. Your laminated and curved ones look so much nicer .

Do you have a template for the curve one that you could post ?? With the location of the hole.

Looks like they work alrighty! I like how you're getting a couple of pieces out of each glue up 
So you just freehand sand the curves on the spindle sander?

fred - yes i do have a template, and when i get a moment when i'm not at the beck and call of the wife 
i'll make a pretty copy of it on graph paper and post it.
ryan - yup, freehand and the occasional finger on the spindle sander, 80-100 grit, then freehand with the orbital sander to 220.

I would as well. I have the straight one, but that's the first curved one I've seen.

ok both freds and ryan, i had a few minutes last night and laid out the template on graph paper. being the frugal, nay, cheap person that i am, i laid out the closest i could to get 2 curved holders out of one blank (and it looks like enough for one angled one as well), since i will be making more of them next season, to catch up with the angled ones. the graph paper is the usual one inch heavy lines, subdivided into quarter inch from there. the original size is 12" by 7", but my scanner isn't that long.
