I will be taking some pictures of it fitted Melinda and will of course post them here. My customer is very accommodating so I will also get some shots of the scribing for you. :wink:

no problem Melinda. The outside edges of the columns will sit at the width between the skirting. The cabinet will be positioned in place and then the columns added so it will be easier to slide it into position without damaging the skirting. Above the skirting will then be a gap between the...

Thanks Graham, it is a very nice wood. I got the finish on the units today. I also got the door hung on the small cabinet. I put a top coat on the white door and will polish it up tomorrow and hang it. just waiting for the mirror and glass now. :D

Today I had a day in the spray shop and got all the remainder of the book case finished. It is now ready for fitting sometime next week.

Actually 'no skills' I just use the side fence on a 1/4" router. I start with the centre one and then space the outer one midway between the centre and the edge. I make three passes increasing the depth on each and I tilt the cutter into the wood instead of plunging. Keep the fence pressed tight...

Ah! you see, that's why we all use it in the trade. :wink:

I lipped the door for the small cabinet which will hold the mirror and then gave it a good sanding. (Yes I know, it's my 'new' Festool ROS! :o I really am on that slippery green and white slope) :lol: I then made up the moulding to the top of the cabinet. Finally I routed a finger groove in...

I do wonder how I managed without the Domino after using it so much now. Got to say if it gave up the ghost I wouldn't hesitate in buying another. In fact I am on the slippery green and white slope as I have just bought a Festool ROS too! :oops: After getting some more veneered board today I...

That certainly is a nice table top, I really like it. The method you used for trimming the lipping is the one I always use. I have a base plate made especially for this job and it works great. Think I got the idea off Brad Naylor. :D

I had a half day today at work but did manage to get the mouldings on and the door in a coat of primer. I am now waiting for some more lacquer but will get the door finished on Monday.

That looks lovely. I like the addition of the banding it really sets it off. :D

It's known as tear out. I sometimes get it on oak if the blades are starting to blunt. :wink:

Thanks guys although I am not sure about the title of professional. :lol: Having a little time on my hands while the cherry cabinets were in a glue up I went back to the oak book case today. I cut some timber and made a start on the fluted columns. I cut two small squares of 1" stock for the...

From that comment I take it you assemble first then apply the finish? Today I got all the insides of the units in a finish and started to assemble it. I could have done with two pair of hands for this job. While these were in a glue up I did some work on the book case. (I shall post that in the...

Ah, such memories. :D As for the waterstones, we used to use the front step of our house to sharpen knives and axes etc. By the time we left home there was a distinct dip in the step. :lol: As for the School girls they all used to wear dark green heavy duty knickers! Don't ask me how I know...

Hi Fagura, I have since sold my Elu P/T after turning commercial for a larger planer and separate thicknesser. I had the old Elu for about five years and couldn't fault it as it handled everything I could put through it. It did suffer from a little snipe with longer lengths but it is after all a...

Sorry Paul, but i can't help with the water based Zinnser as I have never used it. However if you have tried it with an air pressure of up to 60 - 70 PSI then I would think there is something wrong with the spray gun! Have you tried just spraying thinner through it first? At those pressures you...

I made a start on two new cabinets today and it's a new one for me as they are in Cherry. :shock: Again I used the Domino as the carcasses are in veneered board. Started the day by cutting out the pieces for each of the cabinets. I then cut the rebate at the rear which will house the back...

Well you have been lucky with the Makita 18V battery. Mine gave up after just over 1 year! I bought 2 cheapy replacements and they have both given up after 6 months. :roll: I now have two drills and one battery, so much for modern technology. :roll:

Russ has anyone told you you have a striking resemblance to Tom Baker? :lol: Got to agree about the Domino I am a domino freshman and have found it brilliant. Some nice pieces there...........and just how big is that shop! :shock:
