Circular Balcony-Gorilla Glue

Project by Bruce posted 433 days ago 797 views 1 time favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a circular balcony I built for our home. The facia board was made by re-sawing a 2X8 cedar board into 3/8” thick pieces and re-gluing them using Gorilla Glue on a temporary form. All pieces of the railing were CAD drawn then transferred to the actual workpieces. The top railing was built by laminating two thickness of cedar(again using the Gorilla Glue), fastening it down to the wood floor above my shop then using a router on a trammel cut out the inside and outside radii.

Very impressive balcony. You need to edit your tag from “challenge 06” to “challenge06”. Thanks for sharing.

A great design, & fine craftsmanship!

It looks like you barely had enough room for router, while cutting the circle.
Good Luck!

The balcony was included in a massive remodel we recently finished. We added 8’ onto the upper bedroom, added the door and balcony. I discovered it was much easier to draw up a round balcony than it is to build one!

Dude, anytime you can make curves out of wood, you’ve done something amazing. Love the balcony!

Isn’t there a woodworkers quote about a straight line being a wasted opportunity? Ambitious, and great balcony. Kudos!

Not to take away from the beautiful job you did on the balcony, (I love bent wood projects) but I noticed an old airstream lurking in the backgound- I have a 70 safari- 23’. I bet you have some pretty country to camp in where you are!
