Rounding off edges

[The Weegie]

Hi there,

I have just made a bookcase for my daughters room. My question is how do you round off the edges of the wood so that they are not square. If that makes sense.

I'm using 18mm MDF

Do I use a router with a bit. If so what bit????
Or do I use something else.

Cheers

Use a router with a bearing guided rounding over bit.
They are available with a range of radii according to your application.
Wealden bits generally recommended here as a good comprise on quality and price.

Maybe that wasn't what i meant Sorry.

The edge of the wood is curved. I am trying to make it look more interesting in her room.

It is base on something like this.

Do you mean the plinth bit, around the bottom?

Mark out symetrical, from a series on lines making a grid, then a selection of tins, plates, tuperare to get the curves. 8)

If you mean the rounding top and bottom of the top shelf /bottom shelf, a corner radius bit in a router, working from both sides would be how i would do it.
