I got one of those in 1 1/2". Those bids can goes as wide as 2 3/4".... How is a finish?
As for using 3/4" black iron I think that might be a bit thick. I'm using 1/2" steel rod because its cheep and responsive to adjustments.
3/4" bend nicely and hold nice curvature from tip to center to tail. I tried few other profiles and didn't like the results.
My thinking on the location of adjustments is to start with my boot location and made that the center. I have 3 there so that I can make it flat, or make boot center the peak of a linear taper. Does that make sense?
yes it does. Until table completed and rails installed I can't definitely say how it's all going to work out. For now for simplicity purposes I'm going to go with making boot center peak of the taper
did you try to make templates for camber section of the mold on your table? Also I thought about making sidecut radius templates on a table
