Have to throw with the wind too.

 

Today was upholstery day. Went to Michael's Fabric and picked up yard of black crushed velvet.

I used the same neoprene foam for the cushion as I used for the neck cushions. I glued it onto the two bases with Wilsonart 600 contact cement. I used it like glue and not contact cement. I applied it to the wood and just laid the neoprene in it and waited about 15 minutes and it's attached.

In the design I put 2 slots for some wood strips to hold the crushed velvet in place. I folded the ends under the neoprene and then laid it over the slot. Put the wood into the slot and drove the 5 screws. After I was happy with it I stapled it in place. Wrapped the crushed velvet around the neoprene and wood and did the same with the other slot. Check how it looked and then stapled. Cut the material with a utility knife.

And that's the build - completed.

This was fun....not really but trying to keep a positive attitude[emoji16]

 

And we're there....

Now I understand why he wanted black.

I love doing that for some reason.

 

Lakefront Fourplex

Check it out

 

It's a box with windows.

 

And some really long posts

 

Could be worse---could be a window with a box in it...

Making some big azz doors. a pair of 48" x 84 5/8" doors. So the opening is 8' wide.

The original door profile is different. It's a Classical Pattern edge profile. I told them I could get the cutter set if they wanted to shell out the $900 for it. They didn't, imagine that :laughing:

So I have a large thumbnail cutter that I use for wainscoting. The profile is designed for 7/8-1 3/8" thick wood. So for 1 3/4" thick material I have to play some games.

I setup the cope with just the thumbnail and one of the flat cutters that determines the depth of the tongue. The stick cutter is the thumbnail the the slot cutter. The setup is very thickness dependent. Small variations make the joint tight because of a slight misalignment.

I ran some test pcs and had chipout with the Vertical Grain Douglas Fir. I thought this might be big trouble for me. But then I tried running my profiles with climb cutting and it worked great.

Here's the cope and stick setup in my test pc. The center slot on the cope is cut on the tablesaw.

Here's real life parts

Did a test setup of the bottom of the door which will contain 4 tall panels

And this is my test setup for the 8 lite window at the top of the door, it's held together with a 3/8" dowel

That's as far as I got today with the door.

 

Don't climb cut---it's dangerous.....:laughing::laughing:

That's what they tell me. But what do they know?

 

got a question on that climb cut .is it safer on a shaper vrs router set up .
did you do the cut in one pass .
killer door ,inspirational .i may have to make a huge door .

 

This is a pretty small cut. It's on my 3HP shaper and I have a stock feeder which makes it much safer.

As for a router hand held I climb cut all the time. Pull back and remove most of the material and then push forward for the final pass which removes only the small remaining wood.

With the shaper it was one pass. I was surprised how great it worked. Usually if you clime cut you get a hairy/fuzzy profile that has to be run in the correct direction to clean it up. I didn't have to do that on any of my pcs.

 

Ahh ,yeap thats how routers climb cut for me .Kinda thought shaper with a power feed would work better .though surprised you did it in one pass .i would of expected a clean-up pass .Well that explains alot about how to work with fir .Use a big shaper

 

3HP is not a big shaper. It's the smallest size I would buy. I have 3 of them and wish I had 5

It's a pretty small cut. The thumbnail is 5/16" tall and 3/8" wide and the slot is 1/4" tall and 3/8" deep.

 

Trying to get my part done on this shop. Then going to help my gutter friend gutter it. 120 ft front and back , going to be interesting. Being pushed on the job too.

Moving on with the doors. Working on the glass area today. It's always a pain to convert profiles from panel to glass. The rails are easy because it's a saw cut. The stiles are stopped saw cuts that have to be carved out in the corners. Got 'R' Done and now I get to work on the panels.

Haven't cut the stop profile out of the stiles yet. Getting
the measurements for where the cuts will go.

Testing that the mullions are straight across the horizontal. When I
glue the door up it will all be top referenced because of the mullions.

Joint came out nice. All referenced with dowels.

 

Not sure if I ever posted pics of the house in my neighborhood with the tarp on the roof for a decade. They finally replaced the roof last year.

Today I had the pleasure of removing the soffits, installing new soffit, fascia and a 6” gutter. What a chit box.

Have never seen rafters this rotten in places. The amount of chit(literally ) in the soffit was unreal. Played carpenter, banged it out and got paid [emoji106]

Did the roofers replace the decking and leave rotted rafters?

 

Wow

 

Got the doors glued up.

1st one out of clamps.

BIG doors.

 

Beautiful work as always

I have to install 4 leafs exactly like those. The owner had them made in Amish country. Each leaf is 2.25" thick, 47.75" x 96.75" Heavy.

I had to straighten out the framing and re set the openings. Its on going since January. He wanted to prime them before installing and sent word it would be ready today.

I put a bevel on all the doors and eased the edges. My legs were sore the next day after man handling them.

Not sure of the weight but all doug fir

 

Well you got an extra 1/2" of thickness and another foot of height. My doors are heavy, but not overly so. One man handling them would be hard, 2 men is pretty easy. If you were doing that by yourself I'm too old to even think about you doing that :laughing:

 

Put down 14 of the ~30 sheets of 1/2" ply to stiffen the floor up (1984 5/8 t&g)

Made myself a square that would space my screw rows for me. Glad I have the quick drive for this

One of the teachers my wife works with just has her first kid and they wanted to get get a group gift.

After seeing the garbage they they where going to order off Etsy I offer to build it for material cost. Also upgraded the design a bit and added a tuck away step

Might be upgrading the one I built for my kids a few years back. This is a vast improvement

 

Uhmmm..... A vanity?

 

It’s a helper bench for little kids to stand at the kitchen counter
