… one door glued up completely. The panels are coming out fine. The boss likes them …

Understatement of the decade! 

That is looking amazing!!!!

 

Goodness Paul, seeing the ceiling panels especially in the blue gave me a flashback of all the neon in our old movie theater, now long gone. I'm without words to express what you have achieved. 

Thanks Dave. That “old movie theater” experience is what she was looking for. The irony of the ceiling tile part of the project was that it was not designed or intended to be done on the Shaper Origin. It was originally conceived to be done on the big CNC which my son operates over on the coast which is capable of doing six at a time and very fast. We did a test piece early on and discovered that the humidity gradient between the coast and here caused it to warp to the point it was not usable. Our only choice was to proceed with the Shaper Origin which was unbelievably tedious and boring. I could only get 4 a day finished and there were 124 to do. Each one took about 45 min to do just the routering. They are now in the category of never again !

I'm wowed!  Gorgeous!

Just when I thought the job was almost done you got more going on . Love the effects

I don't have the superlatives to express what you have done with that media room  Paul. Absolutely amazing !

As the English say, Mill in haste, repent in leisure.

 

I'm late coming to the thread but have been enjoying it a page or two a day. Amazing effort and final.   Or is there ever a final?  Now we're going to lower the floor four feet ... 

There is still a lot to do on that room after the ceiling is done but thankfully not so tedious. The marble countertops still need to be cut but we ran into a snag with the stonecutters. Very few available right now here in Vegas. There is a small bathroom off that room which is a total gut and start over. The last component will be the three entry doors in that room. I’m looking for the 8/4 walnut for those doors right now. Those doors will be quite a ways down the line. I have to get the wood and let it sit in the shop for a month or two to let it reach ambient moisture levels.

 Paul, I think that the tv purchase may have been a little premature. I can't imagine anything playing on the screen that would keep my attention more than the room itself. Beautiful work!

I completely agree with this Bob, probably why there's a light switch

We finished making the small row of tiles today and put the finish on them. Hopefully we will get them up on Sun.

WOW! That is spectacular! I am sure the smiles will never leave.

If I had a cat crate with panels like that, it'd be a breeze to coax her in. Heck, even I'd want to travel in such a box!

Well amongst all the house debacles we managed to finish off the ceiling. The room is complete except for the counter tops which have become problematic. The wife purchased a slab of quartzite for  the counter tops and the floor in the bathroom. The problem is we can’t find someone to cut the stone. We have contacted several and either they don’t show up at all to give us a bid or they show up and just don’t respond. Very weird. 

It looks totally awesome! Your weeks of work really paid off. 

As to the hard surface cutting, you might contact Lowes and/or HD for the names of their quartz fabricator/installers.

Amazing Paul. You have captured the essence and ambience of the Art Deco Era. Simply spectacular.

OMG
