Howdy guys, thanks for the comments.
Hangar Pilot,
Yes, indeed I did. Built this several years ago and the left side of the fence has a box that slides out of the top to give the left half an additional support when cutting long boards. But, even that feature was a little short when cutting 16' long boards. Of course, I didn't see the need for more support when I built it but, if I was going to change anything allowing the space for more support would be it.
The drawers use 100lb metal slides so they're super smooth even though I have some very heavy left over tile from a kitchen makeover in one of them. I'm sure I got the plans for this out of one of the woodworking magazines that I have subscribed to over the years and I might be able to locate it if you believe that would be helpful.
Thanks 05r50. But seriously, don't think that you don't have the skills to do exactly the same thing should you wish to do so. By no means am I a master craftsman when it comes to woodworking. Just an ordinary guy with a passion for the craft.
When I first seriously started my adventure into woodworking about 15 years ago I started reading just about every woodworking magazine that had words. Through that journey I've certainly learned a lot and, continue to do so. Making the tambour door is actually pretty easy considering I used Amana's Tambour Door Router Bit set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019MLOIA/?tag=atomicindus08-20
Considering it's a speciality tool some might consider it a little pricey but, they're system comes with everything that you need with the exception of the dado cleanup bit for the groove which, they're also happy to sell you. Lol
