Post: RE: cutting a curved rebate
With regard to the curved edge/wall defined by a Cutting Gage; I've had need to "fix" some guitar binding / purfling lately.   I have made a fence-addition to work with my Veritas string-inlay cutt...

It's almost done,  and I've had to leave on "a tangent" job.    I'll get back another time on what that shop-built tool is for!

Next up,   the shortening of the drawers had left the long drawers with off-target knob holes.   I wanted to plug those. I have a drilling jig I made about 10 years ago for jobs like this.  It supp...

After some insomnia gave me extra time outside of work hours...  All 8 drawers are glued up.   The bottom drawer needs case-work on its support runners (soon).   The brand-new upper left drawer has be...

Pieces are cut to size for 6 of the 8 drawers by now, we're making progress! I didn't initially plan to re-use the metal corners, but these are now actually hard to come by as new ones.   So ...

Really besides the oak fronts, the drawers are now full rebuilds. I won't swear I used the miter-box on all of the pieces, but at least some :) .    (The walnut slats on the left will be for a separa...

It was time to start rectifying the sloppy veneer edges on the back.   Using the (Veritas) cutting gage was a great way to strike off a clean inboard edge, wide enough to lay in some marquetry strippi...

Yes, Arlin,  it might be tempting to hack up some of the projects, on the frustrating days  :) .  Also, a street utility man came the other day and had me tell him where exactly that white PVC sewage ...

The planned ~ 2 inches of width reduction is rippling through every lateral piece on the whole thing.   I still like the idea, but the workload went way up. Here the plywood back is freshly re-size...

Both the top and the bottom boards needed gluing back together.   Once that was done, I decided to proceed with the "chop and lower" plan.   About 3/4" of height and 2" of width are now removed from f...

I took off all the corner-metals and broke down the carcass with my rawhide mallet. This allowed a nice sweeping pass with my No. 14 plane over the 'beauty' pieces.   But the top did crack after so...
