A curvy bookcase that I use for shoes

[corbin]

Hi everyone!
Here’s something new from my Avid CNC; a bookcase / shelf cabinet / shoe storage thing:

The goal here was to create very smooth curves, and specifically I wanted G2 and G3 continuity to make it look fluid. These are the types of curves that industrial designers love to do. Especially my old co-workers at Apple. Just take a look at the corner of an iPhone and wonder about how much time was spent on that curve.

Luckily, the CNC let’'s you design and cut wood very precisely!

Great piece Corbin! I appreciate the detailed explanations in how to rethink milling on a CNC. Projects/Videos like this really open up the realm of possibilities.

Thanks for sharing.
