BruceKC Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I have a client that wants a curved wet bar and I see no way to do that and have it show correctly in Chief. Does anyone have a suggestion? What they want is shown below. Thanks for any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it by building the box yourself applying it to the back face and using a reverse bow front cabinet Same concept as in this video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I can see some pretty straight lines there in the cabinets or at least the back panels. Definitely a curved custom countertop but that is pretty straight forward. No point in spending tens of thousands extra unless that is exactly what the client wants. It looks to me like 4-5 straight sections with a curved top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there is quite a distinct difference between "making" something and "drawing" something. The posted image creates quite a dramatic effect without using curved cabinets is my other point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha! I didn't pick up on the distinction. Yes, hard sell to convince my cabinet quy to touch that. He happens to be right here next to me. Says he would used premade bowed doors as rear panels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think it could look better than the example by doing that. The example appears to be 48" straight panels mounted on a wall to support the upper bar top but cutting that down to 24" and curving it would help create the illusion. Not quite sure what they did on the inside as you can't see much more than the water faucet neck but the back of those cabinets would be completely hidden anyway.

Chrisb222 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I used framing and cabinet skins years ago to build a bowed penninsula. Turned out pretty cool I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villadecordesign Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I have been able to create the bowed corner cabinet but the bowed area is a lot larger than what I am wanting. Does anyone know how to create one like I have here in our inspiration photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I did some great curved cabinet videos back in the day but I cannot find them now. I would create the shape of cabinet in plan view via cad lines and arcs, using the info from the curved lines , I could then shape the cabinet. The real key is being able to define the BOW DEPTH via the CAD layout. If I remember correctly, I could do just about anything I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is that what you show is angled AND bowed, yes? That can't be done as a single cabinet but can be done, at least I couldn't. It can be done but tricky...hHere is pic and file. Bottom moldings and feet will need attention as will side door panel. This can be blocked or perhaps turned into a symbol for multiple use. I didn't go that far, this kept me amused long enough :) Angle curved cabinet.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
