An update guys
have been trying to get the barge boards bit finished up. I need 3 like this below 2 @ 1260 and 1 @ 4240 all needing mitred corners.
Managed to get some planed boards at 20x225 so that saved me lots of work making them, then I made 12 lengths of pine with the triangle profile I needed and cut them into the correct lengths with a 35 degree cut. Ended up needing about 25 of each piece.
Then joined up each pair with mitre adhesive to make the next process slightly easier.
Don't know about you lot but I found this stack rather pleasing to the eye!
To attach them to the boards I used a healthy blob of PU glue to give the join some resistance to the liquid sunshine we seem to get a lot of! and then fired in a few pins to hold them in place
Used this badboy for chopping up the long boards and getting the mitres, its pricey but amazingly useful at times! Festool have recently released a version of it, probably made in the same factory! :twisted: :twisted:
Next was the struggle of making the birds mouth join between the triangle section and disc parts, this was very tricky and I finally gave up on trying to make the joint look perfect so I just hacked away until it fitted correctly and filled any gaps with an epoxy sawdust mixture. After sanding they came out quite well and they are being stained with a rather dark finish!
Then lots of cleaning up to remove all traces of the devils semen (as pu glue is fondly called in our workshop!) :lol: :lol: and epoxy. I used a combination of hand sanding, rotex 150, fein multi tool, power file and an angle grinder with a sanding disc on.
all items need to be finished and stained this week will try and get pictures of the final product!

) It can be a bit daunting when you're starting out or just do it as a hobby to comment on professionals work. Now I've opened my trap I will say I knew the original was box section when you first posted and I was sadly quite proud of spotting it.
