    Default A Busy Sunday !

    Hi guys, just a few pictures to show off a busy Sunday !
    The MDF being routed is for Skirting boards (23 cm tall).
    The nextl picture is the image of happiness - a bucket of MDF ...
    The dresser is being lovingly restored by Karen. This is a light stain on blackwood, with the first polyurathane coat.
    The Cedar door has had to had new beading made, and is greatly improved. The beading was made in 3 passes on the router.


    Enjoy !

    Great work !

    BTW do you have any info on what router bit you used for the skirting boards - they look great. I am guessing you are making several sections out of a sheet of MDF and then ripping sheet after you have router it.

    Cheers

    Default Router Bit

    We used a special bit from Carb a tech - cost about $110 ...
    It was done in a single pass. The sheet came as 3600x1200mm, ripped it into 5 230mm lengths and then hit the router table !
    I've posted a little (very yucky compressed) video of the action, and some pictures.

    Hi Spreyton

    We made our own skirting too - but for a new house - because we couldn't find a tall skirt without all the detail. It was pretty painfull, but very cheap (bit plus four sheets MDF and some breathing masks).

    They paint up well, but need quite a bit of sanding smooth after the primer coat.

    Cheers
