    Curved door AV cabinets for the lounge

    Here is the old jig. and here's the new one. So the differences..... Extra cross members at each end of the curve. This will keep the door nice and flat when its clamped down. I have a little waveyness on the current doors where they are not curved around the hinge area. The cross...

    Curved door AV cabinets for the lounge

I will be making a new jig which will ensure they are straight. I'll post up some shots of the design once I have completed it. Have had lots of nice comments...

    Curved door AV cabinets for the lounge

    Not designed to pivot. I just drilled a 5mm hole through the rail and the MDF at my centre point, dropped an M5 bolt through. Locked the slide mech down and machined away. Worked a treat. I think you can just see the M5 allen head bolt in the pic.

    Curved door AV cabinets for the lounge

    No particular interest in American stuff, I'm VAG through and through. But do like American numberplates, so much more interesting than UK plates. Brighten up the workshop a bit!

    Recieved my catalogue today, all 603 pages of it. As someone else said the website is just the tip of the iceberg. Our maybe its all there, but many items are buried deep.
