MAKE this in white pine for a lacquer finish.
Most of the work is concerned with the doors,
which offer a neat problem in segment work. The
various pieces should be bevel-ripped at
10-degrees. If fluting or reeding is to be done,
the cuts are run in on the shaper, after which
the segments are assembled to form the two
semi-circular doors. It Will be noted from the
drawings that each door is 1 inch less than a
full half-circle.
The curved bases are made by glueing two pieces
together to get the required thickness of 3
inches. The underside piece need not be solid,
but simply a ring about 1 inch wide. The bases
are dowelled to the baseboards. Cleats on the
side pieces afford a landing place for the
bottoms, which are pieces of 1/2-inch ply stock
butting flueh all around. Shelves can be fitted
to suit, using either the adjustable glass type
shown or wooden shelves rabbeted into the side
pieces. The top is dimensioned to the same plan
as the outside dimensions at the bottom. |
