Alright, I think I needed that break, I'm back at it with vigor again. After my CP box issues, I've gone full circle and am back to using my first one, which fits my new control design layout ok.
Now the next stage for me was cutting the CP panel itself. I knew I wanted the front curved. From my diagrams in inkscape I have been using a curve with a 6ft radius, so that's what I needed to cut. I've thought about this for quite awhile and I really could not come up with a simple way of cutting a perfect curve... if there is, I just couldn't think of it. So what I actually had to do was make a 6ft arm to attach to my router, bolted it all down and made the cut. This was more of a measure 20 times, screw, align then cut once! But it turned out perfect! This isn't the final dimension of the panel, but I cut the curve side first. At its full depth it will be 15 inches deep, 35 wide.
This piece is just cut with particleboard since this isn't the actual CP, but the template. I don't want to be using this technique every time I want to cut a CP, so this is just going to be used for the shape. I will pattern bit the final ones. I know for a fact I will be making more than one CP. I'm way too picky to get it just right the first time.
Anyways, its nice to be back on the project. I'll head back out and make the rest of the cuts after a mini break.
Cheers!
