Hi:
I have a project that I need some help with.
I have never worked with curves like this ones.
How do I make the cuts on the front panel and the side ones so that they fit right?
As you can see the front and side panels have a concave curve. My problem is finding a way to mark and cut those curves on the connecting panel.
My intention is to use bending ply attached to forms to construct the curved surfaces, any other ides are welcome.
Thank you for your time.

You posted the same question in Skills & Techniques and I gave an answer there. When you post under multiple sections of the forum, it just dilutes the answers and information. Consider just posting in one section and waiting a few days for responses. If it doesn't get any action then repost a different area.
cut an identical curve in both pieces (use a router and template). If you have a big enough 45 degree bit use that, otherwise you will have to use a jigsaw at 45 degrees. then you mate the pieces togather. THere will be some gaps so have some wood putty on hand. On the inside of the joint reinforce with kerfing (I think that is the name). It is used in instrument making and there are heavier duty products sold by any supply house that carries the bendy ply. After you get it all straight and clean apply the veneer.
Good luck,
Mike
