I've order all the Ansonica build parts, and am planning out a build. I've seen two build threads, CJD's original, and the curved Ansonica build.
I'm not wood-working saavy enough to do either of those. I'm looking at a simpler build with simple rabbets (with corner inserts for chamfers) or hardwood overlays for front, back, top, and bottom to achieve the chamfer angles required, and the tilt-back angle (6" back on 34" vertical, 34.5" diagonal). I've tried veneering a couple of times and had nothing but problems, so I don't think I'd try that again... regardless, veneering or a hardwood overlay, you still need to "achieve" the same angles.
I can do the side chamfer easily enough with a router, but the top (front and back) and bottom (front and back) have me a little stumped.
I've poked around, but does anyone know of any good threads that explain how to achieve these kind of angles easily using the tools I have:
1) Router
2) simple router table with a fence
3) compound sliding miter saw - 12"
The best I can come up with is to get the angles as close as possible with the saw, cut slightly proud, and sand it down by hand.
Is there a better way?
