I am new to this forum and reasonably new to woodworking. My sister has asked me to make a headboard for her bed and she drew up a design that looks a little like something out of the Edward Scissorhands movie. She wants small rails going in multiple directions with some of the rails ending in a point. Most of the design I can make without difficulty but wanted to pick some brains about the best way to sharpen 2x2's to a pointed end. If you have any ideas I would be most appreciative. I do have a router, table sander and the usual shop equipment but have no idea which would be the best way to go. Help please. Lazidaisy
You mention having a router, but do you have a router table? The safe and easy way is to use a chamfer bit with a sled to mill the ends. A proper setup will make the four sides even, and do it safely.
