Hey /diy/ how exactly do you do something like pic related?

Step 1: waste a shitload of wood

>>1024297
Tricky. It's like an efficient method riddle. Obviously, you could glue up, drill the inside corners, and hack at it with a ryoba. I doubt that's how he did it.

>>1024297
Make a bunch of wide-ish right angles, and a bunch of also wide-ish straight pieces cut at 45 degrees at each end so they fit together at right angles. Cut the curves out of them so you've got like twenty pieces that go from corner-to-corner, and twenty pieces that go from midpoint-of-side-to-midpoint-of-side. Then stack on top of each other layers of alternating corner pieces and side pieces with wood glue between each layer. Clamp with like eight clamps and leave for 24 hours. chisel off excess glue and sand.

Dude wat?

That's even more work than... more work than almost anything! And you still need a band saw, or carpal tunnel jigsaw craziness.

make template to guide router
cut ply wood
glue up, clamp
spindle sand

Doesn't that waste a huge amount of wood? What happens to the stuff from the centre of the square?

>>1024342
Cut ply to two third length of square, soak and bend, over lap to thickness, glue, fill, sand, laminate.

Of course it does, but minimising scrap is better than just creating it willy-nilly and hoping you'll use it someday.

Um excuse me I'm here from /cric/

>>1024297
What is this supposed to even be?

>>1024342
It's a showoff piece.

Simple if you have a band saw. You'd make it how you'd make a Bandsaw box.

Personally I think it's a wasteful and pointless endeavour so I'd rather box joint 4 pieces of timber in a square frame

Cut the outer shape on the band saw, cut through the centre on two opposite sides with the table saw, cut the inner shape on the band saw


Finger joint the two halves back together. Allow for the extra length required when finger jointing.

I'd be much more pleased with the joint work on display over the wasted core out of a large blank.

Some friends and I build custom PC cases. We usually work with aluminum, but we wanted to try a wooden base this time around.

It's not going to look exactly like this, but we're using the technique

I'd use a scroll saw.
Glue all of your veneer sheets, CLAMPS, drill a hole, thread the screw saw blade through your block of veneer and cut out the center.
Easy peasy japaneasy

>>1024473
You wouldn't get a work piece that big in a scroll saw, let alone have the patience to cut it with the amount of blades you've broken trying.

>>1024484
Glue and cut halves or thirds or quarters at a time, then glue the resulting pieces.

>>1024492
That actually might be simpler, desu.

>>1024485
Waste of time resulting in a weaker structure for sake of using a more appropriate tool.

>>1024492
This reiterates what I said here:

Looks a lot easier than what I was going to suggest. Marvelous. Plus ops picture doesn't even look like layered ply. It definitely looks more like they did this and veneered it. Getting a shape like that by layering sheets of reformed plywood would take several days, and be no stronger for it.

Just get 4 straight pieces of wood and 4 round edges, glue them together and be very precise with paint, sandpaper and glossy.

You could have at least suggested some joints. Pardon my shit drawing. Gets the point across.

Would the techniques ITT be appropriate for pic related, and enclosure for a CRT?

>>1024297
you laminate the plywood to desired depth and then cnc

>>1024572
>>1024297
just get thinner plywood pieces, cut it out and at the end glue all over eachother, together

>>1024572
That looks like a good solid machine (1/2" Al plate?). Is it your own design?

>>1024570
>Would the techniques ITT be appropriate for pic related, and enclosure for a CRT?

why bother?

In that application, there will be a side you cannot see in use. Just wrap veneer round it with the seam out of sight. Same result with a fraction of the effort.

>>1024492
this makes me hard.

>>1024297
The only right answer (if your goal is to preserve the grain) is to waste a shitload of wood.
You could go for wasting two pieces of plywood instead, for the top and bottom.
But it's going to be obvious that the internal pieces are made from multiple sections, unless you're some kind of god-king at tolerances.

If you're painting over it anyways, then do whatever you want.

it'd be easier to switch the mortises to the sides and put the tenons on the corners.

I'm suprised no one mentioned vaccum bending

I belive there are kits for this that work with regiular vaccum cleaners.
IMO this would be the simpliest method, although layers would have different pattern
>>1024548
OP's pic maybe not, but look at the other pics from >>1024465 link
It's definitely plywood.

>Implying it would be any kind of easy

It's going to be a long, drawn out mess is what it is.
