1/8" thick strip by about 1" wide painted the same color. It'll keep the cabinet within the 29" soffit. AKA "crown molding".
I have to make the refrigerator panel. I didn't make it because I didn't trust the dimensions of the wall. And having that left wall tilt 7/8" out at the top is exactly why I didn't make it. But as it turned out I could have made it. No biggee. If I did make it I'd probably of had to of made it over. This way I get to measure the opening and make it the perfect size. And while I'm painting it I can paint the "crown molding".
Partial job site view... Zoom in on jigsaw blade. Hilti has them and they cut from both ends. If you're doing any radius or even corner cut. They take away the back n forth. Really smooth. And easy on the wallet. Priced in line with Bosch or any other.
I had a physical therapist tell me that her dad was a carpenter. On one of my visits she pulled out a photo album and showed me some pictures of his work. A stair railing that had hand-carved balusters that were horses.
I told her that she needed to stop telling people that her dad was a carpenter when in fact he was an artist.
Made the refer panel. Brought it to the site to route out pockets for the hinges that stick out and make sure it fits properly before I paint it. I decided to remove 1/16" from the top of the panel.
Had to modify the larder in last years Parade of Homes.
Cordless Festool jigsaw to rough out within 1/8" of the template, finished up with 1/2' top bearing bit in the 1010. Very grateful for the great dust collection.
Gezz that's the best looking larder I have ever seen :laughing: and the first time in forty years I have heard the term larder, back in the UK no one had a pantry :thumbsup:
Been working on this little bar and shelves this week. Yesterday I made wine glass molding using my raised panel bit and make a template to round out the corners of the 3 shelves going on the wall.
Today I got the edge banding on, did a final sand, and got the stain on. Tomorrow I'll top coat with polycrylic semi gloss
I tip my hat to all you carpenters.
I have done a little of everything but my gosh I dont have the patience. I get furious.
Spent too much time destroying wood I guess.
