Thread: What type of "draw" is this?

Like this one?

Participant Information – “Spinner” Table with Garrett Hack : The Kelly Mehler School of Woodworking

Thanks Wongo.

I am look at tips on postioning the "pivot". Will do some spinner searches later.

I gotta go look at some Aus Red Cedar and Camphor laurel this morn.

These draws are sometimes hidden and they are semi circular. They pivot on a centre point. You push one side and they rotate out.

I am looking at a 150 wide radius. Put simply a desk object with one of these drawers beneath.

Any help greatly appreciated

cheers

as the current edition of Fine Woodworker has an article and plans (I think) for this style of drawer.

Thanks Biil, trying to source a net version as I type.

It's hard to find anything like these drawers on the net. Ive' searched for every description I can think of. Always turning up little or drawers that pivot from a corner or ny other way you can imagine.

Found the June edition. Only has curved face drawers. Goo tutorial on making a featured cutting board though. 8)

Just checked (I'm a digital subscriber), the current (August 2013) edition definitely (i think) has the drawer you are looking for - p56 by Garrett Hack.

Thanks Bill. Couldn't trouble ya to get screen shot of a diagram using the Windows "Snip Tool"?

Well at least I am geting more search results with the term spin-out and swing out.

Bob, I have a copy of the megazine. I will take a photo for you.

Is it good enough?

Thanks Wongo

Could you please email me the picture. This forum downsizes the pictures.

Interesting that this is a large 1/4 draw, rather than the semi circular I was thinking. Either will suffice for what I would like to do.

Also how is the curved wall section made? My radius would be around 150mm. 8/

I'm thinking I might have to dampen and bend around some ply on poly pipe an leave for a week, maybe?

Bob, that was taken from my macbook. I will take a few better ones tomorrow using my camera.

The curve is done by laminating strips of wood. I hope you are doing this because you like a little challenge and want something different. To me it doesn’t look as good as a square drawer and it is a waste of space.

I am investigating doing a smaller version to go into a desktop object. Electronic cigarette stands. I may do a simple draw but for something different would like to try this. If I can find simple method I can do.

At the moment I am thinking concentric circle cuts in MDF for the draw walls I can get 4 draws out of the one circle and put on a veneer front. Its more the pivoting layout I am interested in.

Thanks heaps for ya help.

I am making something like this with a draw beneath.
