Larry_Sweeney Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Is there a way to change the radius of a bow front cabinet? Can the back of the cabinet be bowed also? I can't seem to find anyway to do either. Surely the front if the bow cabinet can have the radius changed. The back might be asking for a bit much.

Larry_Sweeney Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Eric...................I guess it's time to quit for the night. I looked at the "General Panel" many times and never saw the Bow Depth. Thanks for the "heads up". How would you handle a curved back. Is that a possibility? Thank you and have a great day!

Larry_Sweeney Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Quote Eric..................That's a good suggestion for a regular cabinet, but I'm trying to make an open bookcase that is 16" deep. I'll have to play with that suggestion. maybe I can get the "look" by making the rear cabinet 3/4" deep and then for the plan view use a cad drawing of the cabinet.-------------I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion. I may not understand the bow on the back you want , cos if you made the cabinet 3/4 deep you 'd have no room for the convex curve , it is why Imade my cabinet 9" with the -7 bow which leaves 2" depth at the center of the cabinet.

Larry_Sweeney Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Mick.............Yes, I found that out. What I'm now trying to understand is how Eric got the curved back on the cabinet he showed. I'm understanding the deleting of the sides and back, but I'm still not getting the look I'm after when I combine the two cabinets back to back-----------YET! Eric.............Any clues on that cabinet? This what I'm after. So far, this is what I've come up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, this is what I've come up with the cabinet in the pic seems to have a flat panel on the Back ?, I made my Back ( front actually) with the Side Panel inset in the pic below.

MarkMc Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Front cabinet has openings at back to match front, Back cabinet copy reverse, change bow, change back from "match front" to custom and leave it alone, change front by deleting all layouts and making the front Blank. Place cabinets back to back, adjust depths as needed. I also changed the default separation on the "back caibnet" to 3/4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Eric.....................I'm sending the cabinet in a plan I'm trying to get the look of a curved back. I think one of my problems is that my bow depth is greater than the side depth of the cabinet. cabinet 1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_Sweeney Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Mark................Since the back is hidden under a landing that's pretty much the same conclusion I came to accept. Eric, Mick & Mark.............Thank you for time and advice ( and you CA wisdom). Even though I wasn't quite able to get exactly what I was looking for I learned much more what I can doe with the cabinet tools. Have a great day.
