Here is a radii wine room. Glass cabinet on the right to hold larger bottles and cigars on the left a display rack for decorative bottles of expensive wine bottles. Made from Sapele and stained with a medium brown stain. Small room.

I like the back round wall did you make the walls to.
How long did it take to put all your cabinets in the room.
Did you go in and made templates of the room.

Great work

Great work

When I got the job I went out to the site and drew the radius out on the floor for the construction crew to follow. I knew it would be close but I also know framing an sheetrock are not perfect. So after it was built I took my actual plywood base and a swing router setup to the sight. The wall was about 3/8" smaller than I had planned and I made it smaller to accommodate it. I too the base back to the shop and used the same swing router setup for the top. It was straight forward from there.

The room was small and since it was taller than the doorway and not quite to the ceiling I had to do the assembly in the field of the wine rack. The glass cabinet and the shelf were all pre-assembled and just stood up. The wine rack assemblies were all just single upright sections. I put the base down and the put in the uprights, then the top. Did the same for the straight sections. I brought the two cabinets over first, and then all the wine rack fit into the back of my pickup. If it was assembled it would have taken me a few more trips. It took about 13 hours to assemble it, two days.

This is great work, Leo!

By "...drew the radius on the floor...", do you mean that the wall behind the radius section of the rack is also built with a radius?

What a great looking wine rack!

Yes, the wall behind the radius of the wine rack is also radiused. This was to have some extra space behind the wall where the oil tanks for the heating system of the house are.

No, this was a few months before I was introduced to the system. If I had rendered it in eCabs I would have posted the rendering also like I did with the Cherry Library above this post.

George,
Here is a LINK to some pictures of my shop made circle jig. It is very easy to adjust and is expandable to very long radii.

Nice!

Do you machine your own adjustable blocks, or ask a machine shop to make them for you? Are they aluminum, or something else?

Al,
My first model used wood blocks with threaded inserts. I kept splitting the wood blocs by over tightening the rods.
I had a machine shop mill these for me. They used steel because this particular shop doesn't work aluminum. Either metal will work. At least with the steel blocks I don't have to worry about wearing them out. With a drill press and taps they would be easy enough to build in shop. ( and cheaper). This shop used their milling machine which has a rate of $100 an hour so these were pretty expensive.

I have also seen these done using phenolic and inserts.

Thanks for the details, Kerry. I will contact some of the machine shops around here and see how much they will charge to make them.

Up to 205-inch bar capacity! I was unable to find the cost of the longer bar, George. This opens up a whole NEW option.

You guys are going to cost me some money, at the rate we are going. I better make some sales, and quickly!
