Masonsailor Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Posted September 4, 2021 So a minor miscalculation by the designer became apparent today that resulted in a change of plan. We had to eliminate one of the vertical pieces due to the lack of space. I had to cannibalize two of them and combine them into one. Oh well.

Popular Post Masonsailor Posted September 7, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 7, 2021 I got the larger vertical piece sanded and cut to size. Cutting it was difficult to get the perfect fit due to its size but a cut off shoe and some careful skilsaw work gave me the results I was looking for. It also involved cutting a hole forwaq the outlet. I used the Shaper Origin to cut the hole. Paul Gene Howe, Cal, DuckSoup and 7 others 10 Quote
Popular Post Masonsailor Posted September 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 11, 2021 All the verticals are built and the ready for the first coat of finish tomorrow. The art work has been prefit so all I have to do is make the cove molding for the permanent installation. I also have to turn a decorative finial type end cap and then cut it into quarters which should get interesting. Paul Woodman, FlGatorwood, Gerald and 7 others 10 Quote

Popular Post Masonsailor Posted September 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) We had a productive weekend and got all the trim made and first coat of finish on everything. It’s still a little tacky today so I probably won’t do the final install and trim until tomorrow. Time to get back on the ceiling tiles and some cabinet trim.

Popular Post Gunny Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted September 13, 2021 Incredible detail to this room Woodman, Artie, Thad and 2 others 5 Quote
Popular Post Masonsailor Posted September 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 14, 2021 Yes lots of detail Gunny. The trick to this type of project is the sequencing. If you take each step individually there is nothing that complex. A lot of routering/shaping but the challenge is getting it all in order and not getting it out of order. There is always the push to complete one portion of the project but often you have to halt work on portion to enable you to tie in another aspect to get the final result. Usually it involves how the trim of one part is going to tie in with the trim of another. Paul Artie, Woodman, DuckSoup and 4 others 7 Quote

Popular Post Masonsailor Posted September 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 16, 2021 Budget wise this room hasn’t been that bad. I bought the black walnut back before the insanity over wood prices started. It is now over double the price I paid. The wood here comes from southern CA and I needed it to have at least six months to sit here in the desert and equilibrate. At the time it was $5.50 a bf in the rough.

Popular Post Masonsailor Posted September 30, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 30, 2021 Well I was informed I have been playing around in the gun room a little too much ( didn’t know that was possible) and so it’s back on this project. Today was finish building the cage for the TV and getting it mounted. I used four 16” FE drawer slides and a lot of poplar. Hopefully get the TV installed tomorrow.
