Hi everybody.
This thing is driving me nuts, I have designed a table that has curved legs on two axis.
I have designed it in my CAD software in 3D and generated the ortographic views of on leg to figure out how I should build it.
First thing that I see is that in order not to waste wood I should make them laminated. What I have not clear is how I should proceed.
I figure out that I should make a mold with the curvature of the side view and laminate stripes of the maximum width of the front view until I had achieved the thickness of the side view.
Once dry draw the profile of the front view on the piece and cut it on the band saw.
Here come the doubts:
As far as I understand the front view as it is an ortographic projection will not be valid to be drawn onto the curved piece and it should be drawn in it true magnitude, I mean as a developed surface (see schematics).
Not only that, but also I think that the mold should have an inclined rebate to position the strips as if they were cut of the maximum size of the ortographic projection, but with the length of the true magnitude profile isn’t it.
I don’t know if I conveyed my ideas and problem properly. Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.
