Measured a dozen times and cut and routed once.
Door looks great!!!
The problem with measuring a lot for me is I start to argue with myself on what is correct after awhile ..then I have to start all over ?

It is starting to look like a kitchen again. I hung 19 of the cabinet doors yesterday. Installed the new microwave/exhaust hood over the stove today. I have to make 5 drawer fronts and two doors with glass, do the baseboard. I also have to cut and trim out a new opening in the peninsula and make two sliding doors for that.
pics or it didnt happen ... I think everything is still in pieces on your bench ?
You gonna be glad once this one is done?

You, Chet and Bryan make for a helluva team. I’m kinda liking the groove. You can tell Mom, it’s your own unique design! Yeah, soften it a bit.
hah! ? It could be my new signature technique
12 hours ago, Bob said:I like the groove as well. However I would be cheating on that glue up by using a pinner to tack in the smaller pieces, then clamping. You have a lot more patience than I.
I was thinking of doing that, but due to not being able to just clamp the whole thing together at once since it is not structurally able to handle it ... so have just accepted this way for this glue up. Unless you mean just glue and tack it and be done with it?

I think the look of the v grove will add a detail to the finished project. I think it will look good when all said and done. It’s also such a small detail on a bigger piece that only guys like us will ever notice.
Great progress!
Hah! I am hoping so ? once I get it all glued up and can sand it a little more, I think they will turn out 'ok'ish' but yes I think it should be minor enough most may not really even notice it
43 minutes ago, Jamie said:How do you like the dewalt quick clamps? I don’t have many quick clamps and am looking to get a few more.
I love mine for things like this, or holding my hose on my little router table ... odd jobs etc etc. I dont use them for anything major as I stick with my bessey's for that. I had noticed they can pull pieces out of alignment if you dont watch it. So that is why I use them for the odd jobs and nothing important after seeing that. Maybe I just got a bad batch? I dont know ...
This is where I stand after a day of gluing with kid pickup and soccer practice ... will finish the other roughly 7 hours of gluing tomorrow based on my progress speed today.

It looks like you may have gone a little too deep which is why it may look a bit strange. Maybe you can soften the edges of the cuts.
Possibly? I went just shy of 1/4 deep ... I do plan on sanding more to soften them a little more and maybe that will help out.
-
At this rate, I will be gluing all day today and may some tomorrow. I dont have enough smaller clamps that fit in between, So I can glue up the 3 pieces, and then add the next frame, then 3 pieces etc etc .. leaving for 45 mins to an hour on each ... only 16 more to go ?

got everything routed ... Doesnt look horrible and it fixed the problem. However, probably not something I would do again haha. The look just isnt for me...
Maybe it will grow on me ?? haha

going for the v groove cut today ... sanded everything yesterday and after 4 hours I was worn out haha. A lot more hand sanding that I was expecting. Will get some pics of this wonderful adventure ?
Then I will start gluing up everything, but pretty sure that is going to be another slow process as I can do it half and half or anything. Pretty much have to go leg by leg due to the design. Should be interesting haha!

That's right.. I had to go back and see what the configuration was going to be..
Might be a cool detail to run each joint across the table saw and insert a shim??? Then they would all be consistent.
Something like that I was pondering as well ...
10 hours ago, Coop said:I know it would be an added expense and more work but I would be tempted to add an iron on veneer across the tops of all of them. Looking back at the original design, that is a bunch of veneer ($). But hey, it’s only your money?! Or, remake the bad ones?
haha that would be a loooot of veneer/money ?
10 hours ago, Woodenskye (Bryan) said:Another option would be take a v groove bit and do a shallow pass at each point. This would be more consistent and an added little detail.
I never thought of this, but a slight v groove might actually look kinda cool.

In the end, I don't think you're even going to see these right? I'd be tempted to just put some epoxy in them if they're not going to be seen.
These will be seen they are on top ... unless decorations cover them up

Here is a shot of some of the ones that did not line up 100% ... probably have 5 or 6 like this out of 20. assuming glue and sanding dust from rounding the edges and rub it in there should correct it?

Got everything routed and cut ...
Then had to come up with this crazy contraption to try and glue these things up ... overall it went really well. There are a couple gaps I need to fill due to getting a little close on the sanding or a router issue.
Fully clamped up .. tried my best to keep things close to 90* it was rough!!

After taking some time off earlier this month, I decided its time to get back at it ..
Got all the parts cut out roughly ...
Blue Tape trick worked like a dream!!
Then to sand to get it closer to the template and less routing needed ... nothing a little 40 grit paper cant take care of ?

These poll people are like the weathermen ... right about 60-70% of the time
It was annoying watching last night, "Biden/Trump is leading, buuuuuut this were mail in/in person ballots and they have not counted the day of/mail in, soooooo where does that put us ... we have no idea, but we will keep you updated"
I heard that soooo many times I wanted to throw the TV out the window! Why are you even talking about it if you have as much of a clue as me sitting here ...

Will you be using the Domino to joint the pieces?
Yes it will be heavily used to join everything this project

Are all of the pieces 3/4” thick? This will be fun to follow.
Not yet, but yes the plan is to bring them down to 3/4 thick at final thickness.

Haha. Ya it takes a few samples to remember how to setup the D4R!
this is looking great!
