a curved unit
 

I did this yesterday Pic one shows parts after cutting and then assembled

Hennie,
I assume that is MDF? How will you be finishing this one? :)

I would add question about banding. How did you band MDF? Is it some special MDF for bending?

Heath, it would have been wrapped with foil but the client decided to leave it in mdf that way she can paint it any colour she wanted it.It will become part of a display in a decor shop.You know interior decoraters can`t make up their minds:D

Milosh I used normal 6 mm mdf for the back of the unit it bent easily with the curve and then doubled it up on the 100 mm above the top shelve giving me 12 mm.I used a woodglue that sets in 5 min.For the kickplate at the bottom I cut a groove into the mdf that has the same curve as the front edge.I doubled the section between the front edge and the groove wich gave me the meat to attach the kickplate on the inside with screws and glue.For the kickplate I used 12 mm mdf with no hassles to bent. I am busy setting up a website for my company where I would explain the manufacturing process in detail of projects that we are busy with (with lots of pic`s).The MM would get a lot of exposure as it is based around cnc manufacturing.

Hennie,

it is great explanation! Looking forward for you web site. :)

Ok Kobus I found something.

Dit lyk baaie mooi, ek sien party mense weet nie die verskil tussen ons wat werk met ons masjiene en die wat net daarop speel om in hulle vrouens so gooie boekies to bly :D

Ek is soooooo bly Hennie het ontwaak...daai Kaap ouens is mos LAID BACK....

Mooi Hennie, maar wat kruip jy in die kassie weg :D

Wag vir volgende week dan gaan haal ons die visstokke uit!

Hennie,

May I have the cut file for ET! The box looks great.

Hennie, het vanmiddag omtrent so 3.30nm by Izabellas in Blouberg verby gestap. Dit lyk baie smart, maar was dolleeg. Gaan dit OK met sy besigheid? (Miskien was hulle aspris leeg, tussen die twee groot etes).

Sal nie weet nie Gerald het lanklaas met hom gesels.Gaan julle nog die deel van die wereld toe kom in die vakansie?

Nice
 

Great looking stand, nice

Ons gaan 'n paar dae op George bly vanaf die 23ste Des. Het nog nie te veel gedink aan wat ons daar gaan doen nie.

Bel my as julle hier is dan kom maak julle `n kuier( sundowner picknick by Kraanshoek)

Jou kaste lyk baie goed Hennie. Voorspoed met die besigheid.

Dankie Hennie - ek moet kyk of ek nog jou nommer het.

sal hom pm

Hennie,

what do you use for CAD / CAM? Your work is beautiful.

This is what I cut with the dremmel cutter

I like BIG slabs of wood. I surfaced another Blackwood counter top yesterday.

Kobus - don't tell us show us!

Ja Kobus show us make sure it is not pine.

Ok ok here it is. This one is not that big but still REAL solid wood.

Attachment 7818

And I used no hands.....just let it lay on the table and old BBB gently surfaced it for me.

Speaking of posting Marius isn`t it time you show us some pic`s.

Hennie,
I will put something up soon. We are busy putting a portfolio of stuff together for my wife to sell. She is very handy with paint and general craft stuff - so she will start earning her keep for a change.

Making curved units
 

I made a counter for a client recently and wasn`t it fun to do everything on the MM as the pic`s show the counter under construction with all the curves cut on the MM.I have not used the table saw once.The last pic was a cut out that I did for another company that is competition in my town.Shows you slowly I am creating a small market for the MM in my town.( will put pic`)s on monday of the bulkhead that goes above the counter.

Excellent work Hennie!

finished pic`s
 

The pics of what it looks like and some stairs that we did for a client the four landings where treated with a MM

Wow, Nice!
