Hi there,
This piece of furniture I made & designed whilst on my course at Rowden Atelier in Devon a few years back - I never finished it, but I finally insulated a small workshop last year (at home) to finally complete this piece I designed.
I was really after some advice from you wonderful people (!) with regards to clamping polished surfaces. The surfaces will be shellac & waxed (aka part French polished) so require delicate handling & then all clamped together. I'm really after some tips from you experts out there please - someone must have done this before, surely??
I'll domino the 'hats' together for alignment purposes but don't want the clamps to ruin the polish. I could put them together first and then polish afterwards but this can be very tricky getting the polish right over multiple surfaces. I wish i could afford to send this off to a finisher... i don't know about you, but i really hate finishing!!
See the 3D cad design attached & the photo of the cabinet (doors just hung - unpolished!) so you know what i mean...
Thanks in advance..
Matthew
