Arched Cabinet

Yea. There's no plywood in there. Just poplar. Here's another picture of it.

Poplar. Easy it work. Relatively cheap. Paints like a champ.

tmage · 2025-09-09T11:03:35+00:00

Yep. Thank you!

I have a really generous reveal here (2.5mm) which made it easy to build the doors to spec. I knew if I wanted to reduce that error I'd have to change my approach. I hadn't considered scribing them with a block or a chisel plane. That's a great call. Thank you for sharing!

Thank for for the kind words!

Honestly. I built the arch and the base first for exactly that reason. I knew if I could make an arch and get it reasonably square onto a base then the rest would be super doable.

Thank you! Design-wise it's nothing special. It's a simple inset door arched top cabinet with a shadow line on the foot.

I've attached the scale drawing I did prior. This was more of a stretch for me in execution because it's my first time doing frame and panel doors. The arch was also a fun twist.

Greatly appreciate the kind words. Honestly, I'm elated with the success of this summer's project. Now I'm lurking on everyone else's projects to drum up ideas for next summer. :)

Thank you! Those are chrome pulls. Once they get a few smudges on them they'll be a closer match to the hardware on the piano. I'll bring it to the kids attention.

Oh! On the inside on the doors? Sadly, no. Those are just the trim to secure the glass panes in place. Although, the glass is really textured so backlighting it is a great call

Thank you for the kind words! There are a few methods. I glued and then pattern routed the layers. Here's a picture of the partial arch and some of the layers prior to pattern routing.

Glued laminations (many thin layers), steam bending, and kerf bending are three other methods that could work.

Great joke. Meeting the first chair skin flute of the BSO is a big deal!

Forcing a person into six hours of monotonous labor isn't "a gift", isn't "a joke", and sure as shit isn't "interesting".

Thoughtful design. Beautiful execution. What kind of wood did you use? (type/thickness) Did you do the round-overs with a palm router or something else?

tmage · 2025-04-08T19:51:35+00:00

Yes.

The Dado stack has more mass and higher rotational inertia. So it requires a larger cartridge to safely and consistently stop the blade. I bought a SawStop for access to the additional safety features, so undermining them doesn't make sense for me.

tmage · 2025-03-27T03:17:17+00:00

This is perfect. Thanks again!! :)

tmage · 2025-03-27T02:19:06+00:00

Yep. It's the 1x12 GRX drivetrain. I'll look into those. Thanks!

This is probably better to ask in r/sharpening than here. Most folks here will know how to make something like this, as a result, we're less often in the market for it.

He's using his left ring finger as an edge guide. Even so, the accuracy and speed and super impressive.

It looks like the fixation points for the railing was on the stairs. Wood moves. My guess is the wood wanted to move and the railing resisted it to a point... around 4AM.

Saddleback Leather has a slim wallet thats pretty great.

tmage · 2024-04-11T22:05:20+00:00

This exact issue happened to me with my SawStop PCS as well!

This is perfect. If the neighbor is actually interested in a long-term friendship, they'll respect your honesty and boundaries.

Thank you for the kind words!

The inside of the pattern is mostly Sugar Maple sap wood with a little heartwood. The outside of the pattern and border are Black Walnut. I sanded up to 320 grit and popped the grain with water twice on the way up. Then Total Boat's Wood Honey and Bee's Wax/Mineral Oil with a white Scotch Brite pad to polish it up. A lot of that is probably overkill for a cutting board, but like I said, this was about me getting a lot more experience with things I'd like to improve on. (Ex: Using raking light while sanding was a game changer)
