Popular Post krtwood Posted October 13, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I don't usually post my videos here but I think this one is more suited to this crowd. Extra talky and woodworky. How would you go about rounding the drawer fronts? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'd free-hand them on my stationary belt sander. Cool design, reminds me of Dr. Seuss, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I couldn't get it as consistent all the way around like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I watched the video yesterday when it hit YouTube, these are pretty cool. As to your question, since you have the equipment out, you could have use the power carve gear following some reference lines to get close and then finish up with rasps, scrapers, sanding, etc.. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrdie Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I really like the way those look. A few "irregularities" add to the hand-made feel and I don't have any problem with them. Not sure what I'd do differently. Probably more hand work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna S Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Those are great. I thought Dr Seuss too. Almost looks like you could put a knob on one of the drawers and it would like look alike an eye. Wondering it there are smaller carving attachments or maybe a dremel tool that would have smaller attachments that would fit in the opening. The irregularities looks nice though- more organic. I just watched a bunch of your videos, and they are inspiring. I've got some crotch grain walnut that my Grandfather had held onto for years and never used. I've been thinking about a box I make make out of it inspired by your designs. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
