Here's the beginning of a custom coat rack for Complete Spine & Headache Center in Ames, IA. The form is made from four layers of 3/4 in. MDF ply. Initially, two points were chosen an a straight line and two nails were driven into those points, approx. 40" apart. A thin piece of wood was pulled to determine the radius of the curved part of the coat rack. The form was then cut with a scroll saw, starting down the intial straight line and then the corresponding arc. One of those pieces was taken and used as a guide for a router to follow and make four corresponding sets. Thus, obviously, the initial shape.
Here's the material to be used: six pieces of re-sawed maple and walnut cut 3" wide...
...and in their nightlong dwelling
Straight out of the form...
...and into a rough-sanded finish. More to come...
