How I Make The Small Corbels At The Top Or My Medicine Cabinets

Here I’m resawing a piece of quarter sawn white 4-1/2” x 4-1/2” down to a thickness of approximately 5/8”.


The finished size of the corbels are 
approximately 2-1/4” x 2-1/4”. All that’s left to do is to sand them and attach them to the piece. 

Thanks for taking time away from your important matters to look at my corbels. 
Comments are always appreciated.

Yup. Thanks Steve R. Then I have to cut 4 more since I use 5 on my projects. For the next one I have 3 to start with and the next I cut 4 and have 2 left over and the next one….

Great Idea James!

Nice tip good idea. I'll probably forget that though when I would have to make them

Cool cowbells, but a distant cousin informs me Daisy isn't over keen,

and recently seen hobbling away, muttering "go and milk your bloody almonds".

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Two thumbs up James, this method produces nice corbels.
James,

Nice way to cut 4 corbels.  you could just use 4 and that way you don't have to remember where you put 3 of them, ha!!

Just one letter and you get into a tizz.. now if you changed a word into say "blimey" I'd sympathise.

Great tutorial!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Quick, precise, and easy. Nice idea James!

Neat way to make corbels!!

Ducky, I love it :  "Go milk your bloody almonds"    and    go milk your bloody soybeans too!!
That is an "r" in there  ...not a "w"

Cheers, Jim ........................ Variety is the spice of life...............Learn something new every day

Thanks Petey. You can never get enough corbels or cowbells

Ducky and Christoper Walken want more cowbells. I want more Corbels.
