I don't know what the fuss was all about with these roundovers. It was one
of the easiest things in this whole project.
Below is the world's simplest jig. A piece of extra melamine with a hole drilled
in the middle.
The router with roundover bit is screwed and double sided taped to the "jig".
The melamine has to be large enough so the router can't tip. I just let the
bearing ride against the inside and route away. One of the few times I use
the fixed base.
Nearly had a heart attack when I flicked on the router and it didn't start. A
few Fonzie taps later and I was good to go.
All the roundovers done.
I've got a few flat spots to sand smooth.
Using a chisel and round rasp, I made the joint more Maloof-like. Still have
some more sanding to do. A bunch more corners to do. I just wiped on some
mineral spiritis to show it off a little.
Updates won't be coming as often now. I've got a bunch of sanding to do
and I've started building the drawers. Right now just milling a bunch more
wood for the drawers.
