Hey much thanks to pennswood, he is willing to share his knowledge and experience about this subject when most others would tell you to flake off.
I took a simple video of the technique he has described here in the thread. I used an old deck that was lying around and I did it quick before going to work but it still shows what he was saying.
Also Pennswood was dead on accurate when saying that a router will not give a clean finished edge you must sand the deck after routing.
Again cool guy that penn...thx |

Thanks Pennswood.
I tried your technique last night. It workd pretty good in those hard to reach areas. I never thought of that way of doing it. I always routed them with the deck flat. It does make it a lot easier. Thanks a ton. I pwe ya one. Saved me bukku time in shaping.

I think I was using a 1/4 inch(maybe even 3/ bit. Gotta try the 3/16.
Anyone seen the video 'Northwest'?
There's a quick segment of a basement board company and it shows him using a router on the flat side with a template. Although it is a 'Popsicle' shape, I still wonder how the kicktail/nose would work?
I'm going with penn's method. |

Pic 10 Is a Spindle moulder With a copy collar. the boards are mounted to a template that gives a uniform shape. Much better than just band sawing. You will have to band saw or jigsaw first to get rid of the excess. other wise you can get you no fingers.
this could also be done using a router table and a strait routerbit with a bearing. If you wanted you could spend some time shaping an uncut for each boardshape and width this will then become your template . Flip it over mount some rego pins though the truck holes.( you might want to make a metal plate with the pins welded to it and then attach that to your template. After you have rough cut your decks sit them on the template the pins should fit tight so the board has no movement on the template. use a decent rourter with the strait copy bit in it run it over the base of the board you are shaping the bearing against the template and the cutter edge will be making you happy.
Pic11 Is a trimming router nice and light easy to hold. the base is a peice of mdf that is half flat and then the back half is tapered away so that the router base fits in those little dips at the start ofthe nose and tail. the exact shape will take a bit of trial and error. but it sould be flat untill it gets to the centre of the router bit then taper away.
