Good day.
I was wondering if perhaps amy one would know, what would be the
easiest way to make a 3" qtr round.
Your suggestions will be greatly appricated.
Thanks.


the old way would be to get it as close as possible with a table saw
and then build yourself a modified spoke shave and basically scrape it
to the right shape.
this can work very well if you are any good with metal work.
just a piece of flat iron and a grinder gets you most of the way to
your scraper and then some precise sharpening with a file and some
sandpaper. if you had a dowel the right size you could spray glue on
some 400 grit sandpaper to that to make the final sharpen.

otherwise go get the right router bit or shaper bit

Umm, If he had the right sized dowel for the final sharpening, couldn't
he just cut that into quarters and skip all the metal fab stuff?
