So I made very clear that these lathers needed to bring their paper up around these aluminum post bases then wrap it with bituthene, ***** tape or butyl.

So this is how they left it. Un****ingbelievable.

I hate when people don’t do there job.

 

Look at all the doors.

Some assembly required.

 

Looks pretty dooring to me.

Tom

 

50 doors. So ya, very dooring.

 

Ooh, branching out into flat-pack cabinetry. Genius!

 

Removed a backsplash. Backing was plaster over brick. Some of the plaster came off.

Sealed it with shellac. 20 min. easy sand and fibatape mesh sheet on Monday.

Needs to be sealed with primer before the new cabinets go up. Today client said it looked dry. I felt it and disagreed. Got the IR out to show them.

I'll check again Friday.

 

Which camera is that? Do you like it? I've been looking for a few years but still haven't jumped.

 

Been keeping those inside skills fresh. 😂

Master bed/ bath, upstairs hallway, and stairs plank flooring job.
Going pretty decent and my client is thrilled with what we've done so far.

 

Had to make 280'+ of this tiny little molding. I don't have a cutter for it so it's a multi step process. Started out with a shallow cut using my shaper panel cutter, did this on 4 edges of a length of a board. Then a small round over, think it's a 3/32"R. Then 4 vertical cuts on the tablesaw at 0.265" to get the thickness of the molding and then a 0.400" cut to release 2 pcs of molding and cut the width. A little sanding to clean up the sharp corners.

And I have 50 doors with 54 panel openings to miter the molding into. So probably about 450 miter cuts. Gonna take a while.

 

Is that an entry door or a cabinet door? Seems like a deep recess for a cabinet door. FWIW I like the detail. I made some cabinet doors like that once that were mitered, doing it mitered you can make everything out of one board, but they have to like mitered cabinet doors. Also done the recessed panel and added trim a lot too. I prefer the trim on a standard door over mitered doors but definitely easier to have the bit. But I understand why you don't, I've never had the luxury of having it either. Seems like everyone wants some detail somewhere that isn't available in an off-the-shelf bit set.

 

Who designed that?

 

You don't like it... of course.

They gave me this picture.

 

You don't like it... of course.

Of course? I've paid you many compliments over the years.

 

You have. And you have said "I don't like it" many times too. This seemed like one of these times.

I just make what the client wants. I've made some pretty ugly things that clients love.

Uh....probably 6-8 years ago.
I stopped when I found out you thought I was serious.

 

Got 320 ft of the molding made and was able to get 17 doors molded. Only 33 to go.

 

I don't understand why it matters that it's an applied molding and not just make doors with profile? Or are you adding to existing doors?

 

That's what I was wondering.

 

I don't have a cutter to produce that door profile so I made shaker doors and the molding

 

Usually you buy the cutter or have one made.
Seems like it would have been less expensive...overall.

 

$900 for a premade cutter that will likely be used once. Or much more for a custom cutter. Unless you are just talking about a cutter for the small molding itself. That would be $125. But it would also take 10 days to be made and I really didn't think about the molding till I needed to make it. And then I just did.

 

Okay, fine....now for the sanding.

 

I'll expect you there bright and early for 9:15 to take care of that for me.

 

Ship 'em down. I'll help.
I fully expect though that I won't be doing it right.

 

It's a cabinet door, 50 of them. My standard setup for shaker is 5/16" deep recess. Most are 1/4". So my molding is just over 1/4" thick which leaves slightly less than 1/16" of a shoulder.

The stained door they showed me as an example looks to be a custom cope and stick cutter. The profile I made could be cut that way. I looked around and there are no standard cutters that have that profile. I have 5 different profiles that I can make, Shaker, Small Thumbnail, Large Thumbnail, Ogee and French Provincial. None of them are close to this.

 

Had to make more molding. The longer ones in the first run had several problems. The board I chose the grain would raise when cutting the sapwood which means those couldn't be used. On top of that I must have set the fence wrong on the thickness in a batch because they didn't match with the majority of the other moldings. So I had to run another 100' and I ran 130' in case there were issues.

That sucked.

 

Good thing you have vacs !

 

Ha
ha

 

Gawddddddd.... It's over....

33 doors today, 17 yesterday. Most of them got 4 moldings but 4 of them got 8. I did pretty good miter-wise. For the most part it took 8 cuts per door. But of course some were cut slightly long and had to be trimmed by a few thousandths. I only had one cut that was short, and I still don't know how that happened. The last batch was 11 glass doors so I had to put a board where the glass would go and rest those moldings on the board, glue and shoot them in. I used two saws, one set left and the other set right 45º so I didn't have to swing the saw back and forth a million times.

 

You da man!

 

At least 432 miter cuts. uggg

 

Finally getting to fitting the doors. Did the corner trio 1st because it'll be the biggest PITA of all of them. I don't do the corner cabinets very often so it's always like I'm doing it for the 1st time. But this time around it seems I remembered most of it. Blum doesn't seem to make a corner hinge with soft close that is a screw in so I had to use an INSERTA hinge. So instead of a screw hole you need two 8mm holes that an expanding pin goes into. I don't have an 8mm bit so I used a standard bit that was close enough.

Is that a 3/16" or 1/4" reveal between the fronts?

 

Another one fitted. 8 doors in one cabinet, zowie.

 

And then this one, the TV cabinet. They are putting a small TV in the bottom so they can watch the news/weather in the morning. Blum Aventos HK-S. Took an hour to figure out how I needed to mount it. Lots of testing before I drilled any holes in the cabinet. But it worked out well and I didn't have to redo anything on the cabinet.
