Robert,
I get asked about this once every couple of months, so if we've had a
private conversation already and I repeat myself I apologize. I really
should put up a web page with some explanations and image links.
The SOD cabinets were built by hand-fitting a 4 segmented line (with
each segment being 5U long) around a curve made by the arc of my
extended arm. After that, I drew a cabinet around it and bumped the
front back about 1/2" from the segmented line to give a small lip to
the front of the cabinet.
I started with top and bottom symmetrical, but Stooge Larry pointed
out that it looked top heavy that way. So I tilted the segmented line
back a skosh (technical term alert).
I measured the cabinets after the fact and have a dimensioned side
view, but I wouldn't build it from those dimensions again - it's too
hard to reproduce that way. I'd redo it around that segmented line again.
I do have a surviving plywood template that is the shape and size of
the side panels, but I'm holding on to that in case Stooge Industries
decides to ever manufacture these cases ourselves.
Dimensioned side pic here, FWIW:
