March 23, 20206 yr Author Popular Post comment_222468 Finished trimming it out today. Now a couple of coats of finish and I can start mounting the tulips and glass shelving. I am going to do the door last. Pa Report
March 24, 20206 yr comment_222512 Wow Paul, that trim really sets it off! This is one project I really want to see through to completion... Report
March 27, 20206 yr Author comment_222807 Last two days have been productive. The first coat of finish is on, the brass rod is fit and ready to stack on the turnings and platters. I had to build a quick router jig to flatten off the top of the turnings. Also the lighting was installed. I used LED RGB strip lighting. This has been a long one but the end is in sight !

March 27, 20206 yr comment_222817 Beautiful casework Paul. May I ask where the wife found the HVAC cover for the inlet? It sure does look better than that white grill Report
March 27, 20206 yr Author Popular Post comment_222891 Excluding the door it is complete. The glass for the door should be here early next week. Getting the tulips installed was interesting but we did it ! Paul Report
March 27, 20206 yr comment_222895 Fantastic! Are the LED light strips the kind that can change color? Report
March 28, 20206 yr Author comment_222904 Yes they are RGB. Cal the wife needs to look up where the return air grill came from. Should have it tomorrow. Paul Report
March 28, 20206 yr comment_222947 That right there is some kind of spectacular! How about posting up some pics with the different color lights? Report
March 29, 20206 yr Author comment_223035 Cal here is the link for the return air register. https://www.signaturehardware.com/oversized-victorian-bronze-floor-register.html Report
March 29, 20206 yr comment_223051 Before I read your last post, I knew that was a floor register. From the old days when I was a child, they either fit as a return register or sat on top of the old gas or oil floor furnaces. Paul, as usual, you did a fantastic job. When I first saw the pole, I thought you were working on a dance club but could not figure out how small the girls would have to be to fit into the space. It turned out totally different that what I could imagine. Kudos. Report
March 29, 20206 yr comment_223064 Thanks Paul. Didn't see my size listed (20x20) - but knowing that I can consider a floor register will open up whole new possibilities for me. I appreciate it Report
March 29, 20206 yr comment_223088 Just for giggles take a Barbie Doll in bikini and wrap it around the pole, real conversation starter. Report
April 10, 20206 yr Author comment_224581 The glass arrived so now I can finish this project. I was afraid the mitered joints even though they were put together with biscuits would not be able to withstand the weight of the glass which is pretty heavy. I decided to key them together for a little added strength. The Shaper Origin really made easy work of them. In the past I would have used a forstner bit and round inserts across the joints. Both work but I am pleased with the look of the shaped pieces. Paul Report
May 1, 20206 yr Author comment_227197 The glass arrived as well as the hardware for the door so this project is officially done per the boss ! Paul Report
