Corian Box

[Bellringer75]

Well I finished making this Corain box today it was sanded to 1000 grit wet and dry and the 300 and 500 farecla







The only thing i don't like about this one is the top is to big compared to the bottom so I am going to make the next one with 4 sheets for the bottom and 3 for the top.

Also some thing i learnt is that for every thing but drill speed is the key i turned and finished it at 2500 rpm

But i really enjoyed making it

What do people think of it

Very nice indeed. Lovely finish. What did you use to glue the Corian sheets with? Malcolm.

[Les Symonds]

The critical thing is that you enjoyed making it! If you want to improve on it, try making the base twice as high as the top; that way you should get a pleasing overall proportion.

I think you might be right

I've never turned the stuff but it looks like it gives a good finish. In fact it looks like highly polished grey granite.

les is correct, the 1/3 to 2/3 rule is a very good idea to follow. Not just in boxes but as transition points for curves, tall finial heights etc.
