Original Benroy lower radii

Postby Thawley » Thu Jan 31, 2013 5:21 pm

Can anyone point me to a mechanical drawing of the original Benroy profile that includes the front and rear, lower radii? The Generic Benroy plans are great, but they omit those two lower curves. Also, I'm interested in finding the frame-to-profile placement from the original, as well.

Howdy!

I too am building a Benroy, as close to original as I can. I am getting a start on it, but not very far yet.

You can see my drawings I have worked up so far in my build thread, where I haven't actually started building yet! LOL

The original roll-pan radius is 6" I am quite sure.

Yes, the original Benroy had 6" radii on the front & rear lower corners ... the floor was also pretty close to 6" up from the bottom of the wall. I'd have to go to my shop to check my template to double check that, though. The computer is in my home office.

Good Luck, John, and as always ...
