Some woodworkers have avoided making arched
raised panel doors for two reasons: the difficulty of marking arched cuts
and the expense of hold down jigs. This system solves both problems by eliminating
the need for high-cost hold down jigs and by providing step by step instructions
with the templates.
The twenty-piece template package includes ten sizes for the panels and the
ten corresponding templates for the matching arched rails. Each template is
individually stamped with its size which indicates overall door width; any
door between 9 1/2" and 22" can be made. All templates are made of rugged HDPE
plastic for years of repeated use. The five different styles are pictured above.
