Hello,
I'm starting my cabinet using a more curved design that I quite like, what does anyone else think?

btw, this is my first post to the forum :)

Jimbo:
Welcome to the forum!

Your design is not exactly my style, but its quite quirky and interesting, and I say if you like it then go for it!  Reminds me of those horse carousel thingies. I think it looks cool from the side!

 :applaud:

SafTguY:
I think it looks pretty cool!

You must be a heck of a lot better with a router than me... :hissy:

Thanks, I would say my google sketchup skills were better than my router skills at the minute. But I have a friend who is a builder and carpenter, and happens to be doing some building work for me soon :)

The design is just a starting point (the control panel was just a 2 minute add-on), I think I'll be making the top half wider as it looks skinny at the minute and angling it slightly back.

I'm making a full size cardboard version to iron out cutting problems and any obvious flaws.

I don't know if it's any use to anyone but my sizings were based on a plan of a standard cabinet layout, as below, if anyone wants it (sketchup file) as a starting point I can attach the file. The sizings are all to scale.

Whoa, cool man....I'm trippin' out looking at those plans!!! :dizzy:
It will look best if you put it in a room where there is some freaky 1970's wavy carpet, a lava lamp, and a space helmet T.V.!! :afro:
Can't wait to see the finished product!
