SuperStation Project - Standing Bar  - "Shaping the Rail"

	I install the Ovolo bit using the bent wrench to allow me to work from above the table. I have set the router speed to its slowest, since this bit is quite wide.
I use the Rout-R-Lift's height adjustment to bring the bit so that the end of the cutter  just touches the square.
	I clamp my shop-made router fence to the Incra TS-III fence. I am using an insert that was cut for another bit but allows enough clearance for the Ovolo bit.
There is no pattern bearing on this bit so I bring the fence up to allow the greatest curve cut.
	To keep the stock from tipping, I clamped the tall vertical fence in place on the outside. It is tight enough to keep the workpiece square without binding. It worked.
I originally had planned to use rounding over bits for the other edge. Unfortunately, I would have to invert the workpiece to edge the top, and the curve precludes that.    I was lucky to have a multi-profile bit that could cut top and bottom in one cut. It isn't exactly the rounding over cut I was looking for, but it works well and gives a clean edge.
	The only thing left to do is to cut the rabbet that will allow the bar rail to be fastened securely to the bar top. I am using my stacked dado cutters on the table saw. There is a lot of material to remove, so I make several progressive passes.    While there were many cuts and setups here, it took about 2 hours to cut all the bar rail. I think it made a lot of sense.
I would be lying if I said that the finished molding was ready to mount and stain. In fact, it required about an hour of sanding.  The cove cutter part was smooth as could be. The sanding was mainly required for the transitions from the cove to the Ovolo and rounding over cuts. A glue bottle wrapped in sandpaper makes a great pad for smoothing this transition.
	This is the finished bar rail. You can see the different right edge — the one cut with the multi-profile bit. It looks like it was meant for the piece.    At this point I have smoothed out the shapes and finished sanding. Next, I will miter the corners and fit it to the bar top.
