Re: Circle made from wood

You could do it with a router and a false base as here http://www.wealdentool.eu/rf_tips/rf_tips_04.html

Just make the pivot pin 4mm.

Re: Oak bookcase

That cornice looks awful :shock: I suppose you could always remove it when the customer realises the error of his/her ways? I thought it looked better with no cornice. So before I fitted it I offered it up and showed the customer, to show them what it would look like. "oh yes, much better"...
