Curved Front Finished.

I really like this Waka. Something i'd like to have a play with in the future.

Waka - nice looking piece...but why the lay on hinges :? - Rob

Its just what I had in the shop.

I think they let a really nice job down.

Rob's got some lovely brass butts he could spare you! :lol:

Tend to agree with Dan here, good quality brass ware adds to a job. Having tried for a while to get hold of decent brass butts, I'm very grateful to Dan for sending me a few and I intend to keep them quarantined in my 'shop :lol: :lol: - Rob

Looks like you are making good use of the new shop.

Certainly am, its wonderful to have the extra space, I'm also getting fit walking from one end to the other, the other thing I'm not used to is working with natural light, really makes a difference.

That is good news

However natural light give strange shadow lines, so i prefer to work with flurecent lights

Boy do you wish you had put some domeskylights in your ceiling he??

That's a lovely piece of work.I was thinking of employing a similar technique for making an arched doorframe for my new house.The present uPVC one is hideous and when i got a price to have a doorframe made,i nearly fell over.

Have to agree with them

But then again is also see where it has to go, and so it doesn't make any more sense then to use what you had laying arround

But it doesn't take away from the outstanding job you have done, i like the solution you did on the centre , i myself had to resort to that kind of fixing all to often :twisted: , but in the end people think it was all done on purpose and well planned (and i stick to that)

I really like the challenge of doing something curved, iam thinking of a floor to ceiling round pillar in the living room to take up all the AV equipment, (made of rosewood), just to see if i can do the challenge of something round, and becuase it hasn't been done before

I know that we (as we have the time) do a lot more challinging things then commercial people do, as these things take up a lot of time and customers do not see the time and money spend on it, and therefore is an unjustifiable project

I take my hat off to this nice project, a trully nice piece of work and another skill learned

I've got one or two projects lined up as well later on that will involve some curved work...one in particular will need several curved drawer fronts made which should be interesting Making something with a curve in the shape adds a whole new dimension to the project as it needs a lot more thought and effort to produce a good job, so 'tip of the hat' to Waka for this one - Rob

Waka,
Lovely stuff!

 

[Waka]

Ok guys I take your point on the hinges, another lesson learnt, I now know I should have used some nice Brusso's, I'll just have to see what it looks like when in position, if they stick out like a sore thumb I can replace them with brusso's.

Thanks to all for the nice comments, it was a challenge because I didn't have a clue how it would turn out, thanks to Chris and Tenpin for the inspiration.
