Making more curvy bead stock. This one will be used on the bottom of the front apron on the chest of drawers. I used a slightly different setup to laminate this one as compared to the smaller side apron bead stock. I really like the shapes of the aprons and the beads will really help to accentuate those shapes.
Striking Joinery
I'm still not yet ready to reveal the assembled case of the chest of drawers, but here's a view of the top of the case, where the rear blade joins to the leg and top side rail. The walnut and beech make a nice pairing.
Cordless Drill/Driver
Many thanks to Sid Morris, a colleague of Jen's (former, I guess, since he just retired and is headed south). Sid gifted me this really sweet Millers Falls 733 brace.
Sweet Curves
Here's that curvy bead stock, after freeing it from the two-part form. Pretty sweet shape, I think.
Rosewood on a Curve
I'm bent laminating bead stock for the bottoms of the aprons. I'm using 6 lams of purchased rosewood veneer, about .020" thick each, which bends like a dream.
