Well it's been somewhat busy here even though it doesnt feel like it. I started on the drawer for my lil box cabinet deal but wasnt liking the lay out...so time to start something new!
I did finish that table for a friend. It came out well and im sure he'll enjoy it for a while heh.
didnt like the layout/screw up the layout(cut right through the back pins when cutting the drawer bottom groove DOH!)
sooo i started a new project! A good 'ol bow front showcase wall cabinet.
Im really happy with the grain graphics i found. found, since you cannot cut into a bent laminated door rail to get the halo effect, one must find it in the plank first.
Bridal joints. I love the look of this joint, especially when it comes out tight! I actually used a caliper to check the fit of these, worked GREAT!
Routing or the flats. Clark Kellogg actually came up with this version of the jig. Instead of clamping the rail to a mating curved block, you dowel in rotating blocks, so that even if the curves differ from one another(which they will), the blocks just rotate accordingly and dont distort the rail. it worked awesomely! Now getting the rabbets in the vertical members to line up...ehhh im gonna have to do some scraping there.
Some sanding and pre-finishing and you have yourself a glued up door!
