pghmyn Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm super happy for you Freddie but, that's not much help with the question I posted. Now with the table standing up, I think a slight curve would look really nice. Put a piece of paper on there with a curve and take a picture.

Well until they add a computer to the Incra LS, I'll have to disagree with our confused friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 You silly bitches, I didn't order that crap! haha I got home from an overnight shift last night and thought I'd twist some nips on the forum. Tiods, as for the curve, the side view of the table with the legs looks very square to me. I assume we are looking dead on at the curve on the legs. I would probably introduce the most subtle and slight curve to the bottom rail, and a slight taper to the leg under the panel, like so slight as a 1/4"-1/2" to soften the appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Well, as I continue to contemplate that curve, I went ahead and built the face frames.. As it would have to have the same curve as well, I figured it would be better to have it ready to go when I made the final decision. Not much to see but, it is progress..

jmaichel Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Do you have a front view of the leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yea, back in the original pics.. I can dig it up again.. I'll be doing some more assembly later today so, the view should be much better then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaichel Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I would have to agree with Freddie, slight curve on the inside part of the leg and small taper on the side of the leg that is straight. If you have a rasp I would use that to introduce a slight curve on the inside part the leg, the side that is toward the panel. Not sure if what I said makes any sense. Sometimes its hard visualize what some is trying to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I understand what you're saying about the leg.. I think things will be a bit clearer later tonight when I get the dominos cut for the face frame. Then, it will look a bit more like a nightstand instead of just one side. I like the suggestion, I just need to think it thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I like curves. I'd probably go with Freddie's suggestion because it's hard for me to resist putting curves in almost everything. But I assume you'll at least be rounding over or chamfering the legs, and that will soften up the rigidity of the straight lines a bit.

Just have to do all the joinery first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Here's a dry fit with most of the pieces in place.. All the outer edges get rounded over and it still needs a lot more sanding. Thought this might help some to see where I was looking at that small curve in the bottom stile on the side. A bit easier to see with all 4 legs in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I agree the full assembly doesn't look like it needs a curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
