Hi Everyone,
Hopefully I can describe this well enough that someone can help me figure out how to make what I need.
I'd like to build an end table which will basically be a box. Each vertical corner will be 1/4 round, and the top horizontal corners will also be corner round. I need to make the top corners so that the vertical and horizontal corner rounds come together to basically form an eighth of a sphere (if that makes sense). If the miter the top corners of 1/4 round, then there will actually be an overhang where the vertical corner round butts into it.
I was thinking of basically mitering the corner on the horizontal, and then butting the vertical piece into it. Then using a handplane to generally shape it, and then probably sanding it the rest of the way. That seem imprecise though.
Any thoughts?
