It seems to me that if I cut the 4' rear radius I create a lot of "scrap". It looks to me like if I rip a 1' strip (tangent to the curve) and apply that to the fwd upper 19" radius I can move the center of that 19" radius forward a fair amount. Then if I take the last piece which was the original corner of the sheet and bring it to the forward lower corner I can move that corner forward a bit also And add a small, say 10" radius there.
Has anyone done this and what are the actual measurements? I took a piece of Luan and cut it to 8"x16" and played. Unfortunately at that scale the table saw kerf works out to about 1 1/2"-2". I'll try to post a pic of my model because I fear my description may not be very clear. It looks to me like one can gain about 2 square feet of surface which is either 8 or 10 cubic feet. I plan mine to be 5" wide. I think a bunch of shelves or cabinets in the forward wall would be a good storage space for all manner of soft stuff.
Who's done it and how do the actual #'s work out?
Thanks!
