These are the digital files I created to build my Curvy Cabinet Bookcase, Curvy Cabinet with Textured Drawers, and Cabinet Stool. The photos are from the cabinets I made out of cherry wood.
Check out the build video for more details:
- Newest Video: Curvy Stool Cabinet
- Second Video: Curvy Cabinet with Textured Drawers
- Original Video: Curvy Cabinet Bookcase
Updated October 18, 2026 to include the CAM for the stool.
The main download file:
- Entry-Cabinet-v2.zip – Several files zipped together: The Autodesk Fusion CAD file, the VCarve Texture files, and a readme PDF.
Older Optional download files:
- Vcarve texture in middle area.crv – The VCarve 12.0 file I created for doing the texture on the drawer fronts. You must have version 12.0 or higher to open the file, and note that the actual bit I used was different than what was listed.
- Main Carcass Drawing v19.pdf.zip – This is a PDF of the ‘plans’ I printed for myself to use as a reference. They are pretty light, and I would take measurements directly from the CAD model and/or rely on the CNC to cut things.
- Drawer v31.f3z – The dovetailed drawer design, which has a configuration for each specific drawer size (each one is different). This is optional.
- Curvy Cabinet Bookcase.step – The bookcase exported as a STEP model, for those of you who refuse to use Fusion or you still like running some flavor of Linux.
- Curvy Cabinet with Textured Drawers.step – The drawers cabinet as a STEP model.
Each file is individually “zipped” for compression and ease of downloading. Autodesk Fusion has a free personal license for Windows and macOS.
Autodesk Fusion Configurations (Documentation Link)
I created three configurations that allowed me to switch between slight variations. This was to have a better design for machining and getting estimates for the amount of wood I would need for the project. Creating a “Manufacturing Model” might have been a better way of doing this for some things…but I am not sure I really like doing that yet (due to performance when switching to CAM).
- BoardSplits: This configuration splits large pieces into smaller “board width” sized pieces that I can then run “MapBoards Pro” on to figure out a mapping/layout and estimate for how many boards I’ll need to glue up the pieces.
- NoSplits: This is the “main” configuration I use with everything looking good and normal and not having a lot of glue lines visible in the model.
- With Sweep and No Splits: I removed a few edge sweeps because they caused issues with some CAM toolpaths.
The “Drawer” CAD file also has configurations for each drawer size: Top, Middle, Bottom, and Stool, which should be obvious where each one goes. This is the same design as what I have released before.
