range hood cover

[HCWWD]

We built this range hood cover a few months ago in the shop using a kapex, domino, router and sander from Festool.

Poplar finished with white lacquer and glazing.

Custom Jig we made up to make radius arches.

Drew,
Excellent work.  It matches perfectly with the rest of the cabinets.  What is the trammel/compass setup you used with the router?  Do you have a picture?

Thanks, Mike

Awesome work!

Could you describe a little bit about how you attach to the wall and the other cabs?  I need to build one of these as part of my folks' kitchen reno.

Thanks Mike.

I will have to work on getting a better photo of the set up.

The arch was built like a cabinet with sides and a back to mount to the wall and the cabinets next to it.  We cut out a piece of plywood so the vent hood would slide into place and have a mounting surface.  The upper cabinet is a 3 sided duct work cover that was set after the vent hood was installed IIRC. It is held by the two cabinets next to it.
