Customer wanted to go with fake copper(aluminum that kinda looks like copper I guess ) on their house. Personally don’t like the color. Think it looks ok though on this house.
The slow grind continues. Next week on to the radius part. That should be really fun. Definitely worried about running out of weather to finish this thing but I think I can get it done. The whole deck was framed for 1x4 butted tight no spacing. So, since I’m using camo system with 3/16” spacing it threw things off a bit and I neglected to pick up on it soon enough to correct it. No big deal, as it still looks good enough and client is fine with it. I was kind of pissed off with myself, but it may have been tough to get it to look right anyway.
Weather and school vacation only allowed me about 2 short days this week. At least I got the long radiused pieces in. And had a fire pit today which was nice. Also, the days off allowed me to make some headway on cleaning my basement so I can work down there.
Finished this up today, even being under the weather yesterday only took three shorter days to do. Decided to use scaffolding, was much better then ladders and plank.
Some more pictures of house finished up first of week. Not my deal , but the lady doesn't like the color of the Fiberon being used for siding so now it has to come off and different color put on. Has 5 different siding on it. Standing seam , dryvit, fibron, smart side and stone
Client had me copy a Pig cutting board that she wants to give to her future daughter in law as a wedding gift. I'm sure that's not the only gift she's getting :laughing:
Band saw and edge sander. If it was a one sided item I might have screwed the template to it. I've done clamping and you do a section and move the clamps til you're done. I don't think I'd trust double sided tape, but it I was making lots of them I'd figure out a way to do it with a flush bit.
I'm making another. I'm also making a template. Every time I show one of these someone wants one.
