    laying out an arch

    Hi,

    I'm working on the design details for a dining table the LOML has asked for. I've attached a 2d sketch up drawing I've been working on. This isn't drawn out to any particular scale or adherence to dimension (in other words, I am severely new and challenged with sketch up)

    Anyway, I'd like to draw your attention to the arch in the table skirts and end stretchers....
    I'm thinking I want to create a template so I can get both symmetry in the arch itself and between the various matched pieces.

    I am struggling with how to lay the arch out on a template to I can take the wood to the bandsaw and make the cuts. I'm thinking its a pretty darn big compass that would be needed.... there must me another method and hopefully you all have the secret.

    oh, and, I wouldn't mind comments on the overall design in general while you are at it.

    Thanks

    - Brad
