Coat Rack for Katie
Sorry about the picture quality -- was using an old Olympus 2 megapixel, and the quality is terrible.

I started out with a simple pine board, about 12" wide by 8" high. Size
was determined by where the coat rack was going to end up. It turns out
that I should have used the sign crafter first and then cut to length second --
it was hard to clamp on the sign crafter.
Here's
where I get to use my sign crafter. 1st time I've used it, though I've had
it for a few years now. It seems to work OK. However, I had to dig
out my old Searz router -- it was the only router I had that would accept the
template guides.
Another
product from Milescraft -- spiral crafter. Also the first time I've used
this. Also seems to work OK. Also seemed to be designed with the
Searz router in mind.
Here's
a picture of the "after" design.
All the jigs removed.
I had an old piece of lumber left over from the shop remodel that I used for the
pegs.
Peg
cut to length in prep for the lathe. Sorry, no lathe pictures....
Finished
pegs, inserted into the rack.
Back
of the board where I cut the keyhole slots so I can attached it to the wall.
Yep, you can see where I screwed up with the sign crafter.
