Subject : Veneering inside curves
Posted : 2003-10-29 6:20 PM

I'm doing a whole house of cabinets, in fairly large scale, and need to laminate an inside curve for an upper cabinet. The cabinet is basically like an upper with an interior barrel top that will likely be made of two sheets of 3/8" bendable luan with a skin of veneer. The upper cabinet is above the 48" refrigerator and basically 36" high and 24" deep.

My question is what is the best way to press this up. I looked at this website under curved panels and see there is an attachment for curves. Is this in your video and do you have a bag that would do this work? I would imagine the largest curve that I would do would be 36" wide by 60" long for material that is at most 1".

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

Making and veneering curved panels is not that hard with a vacuum press and good bending plywood. Basically, the form is two layers of 3/8" bending ply over ribs every 6". Even if the inside of the panel is the visual side I still make the male form for bending. Its always easier to bend over a convex form than try to get the panel to conform down into a concave one.

The video "Working in a Vacuum" covers this process step by step and we have bags that will easily fit your project.

Sincerely
Darryl Keil
