I think the molding is too much. other than that nice!

Beautiful. Did you do only the framing or what?

JustaFramer

Mike I built the splay,hooked up the hood to the pipes,and sheet rocked it. The finish work is in the finish guys contract so I didn't do the molding. But I could of. I am going to get some more pic of some different work I did and set up a web base resume. Which will turn into my business site when I am get every thing ready and legal.

Kurf- what the boss wants is what the boss gets.

How did you frame the compound curves?

JustaFramer

Well first I framed the top box. Which was a rectangle then attached that to the wall and ceiling. Framed a 2x8 box around the hood. Then used 1/4 inch fiberboard marked points from the outside of the 2x8 and one to the outside corner of top box.
Made two patterns then temped them up on the two side to the wall. Evened then marked the curves. Used two layers of 3/4" plywood cut to the curves then attached on the wall.
Next attached the fiberboard sides on. Then took the front side piece wild and temp it up and marked curves. Cut fiber board. To get the tutor hip rigid I use 2x6's put in place marked cut to curve and replacated for other hip. attached to each corner of 2x8 and top box. Then attached fiberboard. Next came 1/4" sheet rock. Wetted it up a little and fit curves perfectly. Tape and mud.
And the finish guy and painter did the rest. Oh yeah the electrician hooked up the power. :Thumbs:

That is one of those projects that the laymen just looks at and says, that is nice. The pro goes - damn, a lot of work goes into making that look so simple!

I think Justaframer is a fricken talented dude, I addmit I would be a mere 3rd when it comes to his craftsmanship.

Excellent work ....I love it

Beautiful work and as previously mentioned a lot more complicated than a layman would guess. I would suggest matching the lower moulding to the top to better balance it visually. Just a suggestion, certainly not a criticism.

Anybody ever hear anything from JustaFramer??? I havn't seen him on any of the other forums either.

hope my wife doesn't see this, she's been begging me for one since i put the kitchen in and i know what a pain in the ass it's going to be. Plus it's my own house and I've had enough of it!

JustaFramer

Thank for your nice comments. I merely framed that piece when I worked for a developer as a utility carp/ asst. sup. All the other work in the pic was done by some top notch subs. Though considering that only 1/4" rock was used my work had to be tits on.

I thought WE were laymen!

JustaFramer

With all the mathmatics and codes involved. I think the term laymen to be lame. That and I prefer to work hard from my 75k a year.

I've got one on my list. Hope my wife does'nt see this one. Great workmanship.
