The Butterfly

This is what I'm In the process of making. I designed it myself. Through-out making this I have had to make a few changes to what this image shows. It will be made from Yew, MDF, Oak and different veneers to cover the MDF.

I started this on the 22nd of February, on day one a started making a round template. This is to help make a jig to blend the sides of my drawers. I did this with a long compass to draw the curved line. Then I cut it out use a large coping saw. Then I shaped it with a compass plane and a ...

On the 14th of March. This is what I made with the curved template, I used a router by nailing the template on the 18mm MDF and routered around it to make the jig so I could bend the yew and the MDF for the MDF sides, back and yew front. After I had to glue and nail each of them together using PVA wood glue, but to make sure they were parallel with each other I had to make a jig so it would be straight.


Then on the 28th March I sand papered it so it down so it is even and it won't distort the side, back and front panels. 

John had to help here and made me some bendy MDF from 6mm MDF.
