March 23, 20206 yr Author Popular Post 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
March 24, 20206 yr Wow Paul, that trim really sets it off! This is one project I really want to see through to completion...
March 27, 20206 yr Author 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 ! Paul
March 27, 20206 yr 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
March 27, 20206 yr Author Popular Post 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
March 28, 20206 yr Author Yes they are RGB. Cal the wife needs to look up where the return air grill came from. Should have it tomorrow. Paul
March 28, 20206 yr That right there is some kind of spectacular! How about posting up some pics with the different color lights?
March 29, 20206 yr Author Cal here is the link for the return air register. https://www.signaturehardware.com/oversized-victorian-bronze-floor-register.html
March 29, 20206 yr 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.
March 29, 20206 yr 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
March 29, 20206 yr Just for giggles take a Barbie Doll in bikini and wrap it around the pole, real conversation starter.
April 10, 20206 yr Author 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
May 1, 20206 yr Author The glass arrived as well as the hardware for the door so this project is officially done per the boss ! Paul
