Rob,

I think you did splendidly!! I would also consider four days to be quite speedy considering all the jigs, etc. It would probably take me at least four months!

Thanks for sharing.

Rob, you did a nice job for your first try at radius doors. I think you would find that the more you do the easier and faster it becomes. I can easily make two doors with a lip mold that holds the panels in from the front side in a weeks time. However that still makes them on the pricey side. Your everyday client would have to really want them. I’m lucky in that for my clients price is not usually not an issue. I’ve made them for a lot of kitchens and furniture pieces as well. I continue to looks for ways to make them faster and easier all the time.
Thanks for giving it a try and for your post.

I'd rather be covered in sawdust

Super good work.

Nice job there Rob. Next time just take a piece of one of the many empty casks from LBDs yard
Wow its now 2023 and the project and process is attracting a little attention by  members here.
Its something I  just made as a learning aspect of wood work and never built a Curved cabinet.
The door I made has been disposed off in the give aways  when I have had a clean out.
However the jigs  from Les's tutorial and some fabricated parts still exist  with me today
  The Les Hastings tutorial for producing it is actually within Lumberjocks.
I did contact les and he is now enjoying retirement but took the time to tell me where the tutorials lie.

Here is the link to the Les Hastings tutorial

Great work my Aussie friend. Don’t be discouraged by a condescending person  who said. “Thanks for giving it a try.” 

You not only gave it a try you nailed it!

I don’t think I’ll ever want to build a curved door since my Bailey wick is Art's & Crafts and G & G
I sure do appreciate your link to Les H’s plans.
