Tool chest, the corners get shaped
Time to cut some items into parts for the corners. Need four skinny, and four wider pieces. The "skinny" ones will gain the thickness of the parts they mate into, at the corner. Measured how much room i needed before making the foot cut out. Hmm, about 15" or so. The i found something round to layout a curve for the foot. Ah, an old dust port for a router. Then drew a line down from the circle, about 1" from the outside edge.
Then continued the line across to get at least some usable scrap. Clamped the part to the bench, using a couple H-F clamps
and grabbed a sabresaw to make a cut, or two
Not the most "modern" of saws, but works. Got the parts cut out, but noticed some were a bit wider than needed, so
Marked a line, and plane down to a line.
Now I have all pieces cut out. Next up….grooves! Hopefully it will go better than the last time…
