Tom Bellemare you ask to see some jobs I have done!Nothing special compared to some projects I have seen on this forum very nice! Unfortunately I was not a Fog member so making pictures through out the job was not the norm for me lol I just took pictures when I remembered and then the finished result just for me as memory what I had achieved  Here are the links first to some projects I have already uploaded on this forum instead of doing it all again. Cedar DeckingLibraryGazebo (Page 2/2)Van (page 2/3)Oak PorchMy Parents bathroom. I designed it with my mother. This was the 5th spare bedroom which really was just used for junk so I bored the loft to get rid of it all up their. The frame still need to be painted by the way    The Plant died  As you can see. It did look really nice! I bought my mum for her birthday a new artificial plant which she has in the bathroom now.       Just incase you are wondering! There is no access panel! Well I hate them! They always look ugly! lol Luckily the bathroom is above the garage so I cut out the ceiling in the garage and put a access panel in the garage ceiling. Radiator covers. I made a template then cut them out with a large router then used a small trimmer with a small pit in the corners then used a chisel to cut the corners out. This was not mine design it was the architecture. You can see some loose radiator covers on the right which she did not like she wanted them built in. So I built one in but this woman dont know where she came from said no good because they are having long curtains. So it was ripped out and burned!  So knocked out the internal skin of the walls and moved the radiators all 16 of them! into the cavity and then built the radiator covers in set back from the walls with the angle.   More Pic later!

So truthfully, how much of the work did your mom do on her bathroom and what were you doing most of the time that she was working?  Let me guess. You were taking videos of your Stabila plate level.  Beautiful bathroom, by the way!

Nice stuff indeed. I'm still playing around with how to post pics on here, wanted to show off some of the weirdo stuff I've done. Got a nice blurry pic taken off my phone of a 20' beer keg I built and one of a runway I did for a channel show here. Can't really post any movie stuff as I'm under contract not to photograph behind the scenes but if you ever saw the last Hulk film, the scene at the end where he say's "HULK SMASH!" and punches the ground to make a huge crack.......I made the crack  that's about the only thing I can directly point out in a film I've worked on that someone might catch. Will post the Keg and runway pics when I get a clue. Cheers!

Yeah nice but! If you look at the recess on the bath I made sure it runs in line with the tiles perfectly as I hate cut tiles around a recess. I also did this with the shower BUT! As you can see in the picture it has not worked out like this and this is because I made the boxing for a row of 3 and it was decided after! that 4 rows was better! for the shower bottom as its easier to slope smaller tiles to the waist and I could not alter it as I already tanked the shower and the recess so I did not want to break the seal. So it was left! BUT I hate it I really do I hate that it does not run with the grout line. rubbish! JMB

If something ain't right I think about it! I try and think of solutions or reasons to tell my self its like that because........... and that's why its better! Soon as I walk away from it in my head I get an image and its looks even worse so I walk back to it and think oh not its not that bad and its with any job I do if it just ain't right! Even the clients tell me stop it and tell nothing wrong it it! I still aint happy! I think what if another trade see it and think what's that that ain't that good! Cant help it! The foreman use to tell me: I need to teach you to know when its fine to leave it it will do! or when it does not changing as its not acceptable. JMB

Its annoying because you get one area perfect for you to find it wont work some where else like around the bath

A bit of brick work! on onside to repair wall. I did Brick work Plaster Work(Apart from ceiling! I cant plaster Ceilings only walls!) and fitting a fire! Tilling was done by tillers! I levelled the floor up though. And the lighting!

One question, though? Why so many TS75's?
Congrats on a job well done.

Small one for general use (I use the most) Large one for cutting Oak and thicker material. 110v for site incase I go on site. 110V tools are not as powerful or as good as 240v so I rather use 240v also the Festool TS75/55 110V does not have electronic brake so it takes a while for the blade to stop. Most of my tools are 240v. I thought if I go on site I can manage without most of my tools which are 240V but not having a TS on site would suck so I got the TS75 110v all my other tools I can use my cordless tools as a replacement. I used my TS55 on this job and my TS75 110V for cutting out the tiles and grout with a diamond blade so the new tiles will join to the old. JMB JMB

Yes LOL Yeah you do! Fog should rule your life lol!  The thing wa was hard was making sure I had NO small cut tiles or a L shape tile I HATE L shape tiles. I know its not always possible to avoid but if I can I want windows frames and insets to be on a joint as I mentioned before unfortunately the shower area it did not work out! This was because it was easier to slop small tiles to the waist and 4 rows of small tiles was easier to achieve this but the inset as you can see was built to fit 3 rows. I could not change this as it was tanked and I did not want to break the seal and waist more time and money on repairing it. Oh my pay is love! haahaa! Joking No when I finish all the jobs at my parents house they will pay for the workshop I still have to build it though! lol Thanks you! JMB

Thank you! I should not really touch electric stuff really! Kinda know wa I am doing I think! Haaahaa! I just flick the switch and hope for the best! The dimming switch is what confused me I had to research on the internet how to do that! I got a massive shock when I was taking the wall down though! I was standing on the steps and I was leaning against the wall with my arm and I touched the copper pipe and BANG! I felt this massive smack in my arms and my chest. At first I didnt know what happened I Was like wa the ***** Then I looked at the cable going down the wall and I could see a small section of the cable exposed! I must of cut it when I was cutting the wall.

It's an American thing. Tv shows here making us believe it's the end of the world and there's no point taking your Festools with you. I'm still holding out.

Nah, Nickao is just cleaning his shop.  Hey, even Festool has noticed the increased activity -- here's what they posted on FB: Looking to buy or sell some used Festool or other woodworking related products? Check out the classifieds section on the Festool Owners Group forum. Lots of newly listed items.

Well I was asked if I could make the doors look a bit rustic so I thought having them all domino separately and I just move them about a bit I would get inconsistent gaps making it look a little rustic. Turned out alrite!. I wanted them Flush fitted but my mum said have them face mounted as it looks more cottage like. I made them only a little bigger so if I hated it face mounted I could just plane a bit of and still have them set in flush as I dont really like face mounted doors but I must admit I dont mind these face mounted.

Just thought I would show some other jobs I am on at the moment and using my Festool tools on! Instead of the Cedar Decking and Cedar roof by me! Who ever did the metal studding was RUBBISH! As the studding wasnt level and around the round window the reveals where square from the window blocking light but also looking from below covered a lot of the window! So I created this frame which flared out letting more light in and does not block the view of the window from below. To the left of it you can see a opening which I have partly plaster boarded and put the corner beads on as I know for a fact the plasters wouldn't get it bang on level! Thats where the discreet(secret) door is going.  Opposite I noticed more metal studding which didn't fallow the curve of the window at all and had no where for the plasters to fix their boards to so I decided to make a arch for that as well.

I gotta make a few doorway arches! Here is my first one! I hope Im back on the job next week some time to do the other two! I made a former with my OF2200! I bent 6 4mm sheets of MDF in one go worked very well I think and came to 25mm which was odd perfect fit for a 25mm sheet of MDF I had which I thought I needed to rebate to get it to look right on the edge!  I then fixed the 25mm MDF to the arch using worktop bolts and a few dominos and using the arch former it allowed for me to run the bearing wheel on my cutter using the OF2200 to put the mould on around the arch section.  Here you can see it in place the two holes at the bottom are for lights to shine up the arch frame.

Took 2 days to make former and bend arch then let the glue go off and fit the arch.
Got 2 more 2 make! Yeah I had to get another person on the job to help me bend the 6 sheets as I struggled to bend them round on my own and had to be quick as I used 10min PVA D4

Nice work. I might have used a glue with a longer open time though. Just takes the pressure off a little.

I wanted longer I asked for longer open time but I didnt get that! You see im only on that job to do the more complex work like the arches and round windows and secret door and gotta do some build in for the bathrooms and was going to make all the skirting and architrave for the job aswell so things like that really as I haven't got time do do things like door frames and hanging doors and fitting skirting. So there was 2 joiners one has left so now only one at the moment long term doing all the other joinery work which needs doing. Away getting to the point before I arrive on the job I call up and ask the joiner if he can get glue screws and anything I need for when I came for 1 or 2 days so im not waisting time sorting things out so I can just do the job well I asked for glue which is longer then 10 mins but I dont think he was able to get hold of any I dont know??

Hello Again! Just crappy picture sorry! Forgot my camera! I wont be going back to this job till ummmm........ I dont kno when I find time! Doing a few bathrooms for this client and few other jobs! Kinda get giving an idea and picture of something she wants but often the picture is just a picture of the web which is just showing a very small section of a mould she likes and thats it! So im kinda gotta get an idea on what she wants and work with it! Any way so im kinda free to do what I want! Soooo I gotta panel out the entire bathroom and around the bath and build a small cupboard for this small on-suite bathroom 1 for her daughter. Sooo like I do ALWAYS I try and make the job hard for my self! I decided to add some curves and when I finished building the bath in and cupboard I jumped on the sink unit! Its an under mounted sink and so I decided to fallow the sink curve! Its going to have a granite top made for it. I know its crappy MDF its MR MDF by the way but she wanted to paint everything so thought its the easiest and quickest stuff to use to make the unit seen as its been painted! Well I have been thinking of how to make these Doors! umm...... The doors will have a double curve and will also have a panel in them! I dont know if I should just get solid timber and bandsaw the curve OR create a former and laminate the doors carry the MDF theme! lol  JMB

jmb nice job. you really know how to make life hard for yourself.
anyway (its only a problem if you cant solve it) idea 1 . put a curved piece in following the shape so that the door is only one part of the curve instead of curving both ways. 2 reviels if you will. this will make the openings smaller thow
idea 2 . make a former, get bendy ply and laminated up the back 2/3s of the door then apply more bendy ply to mimic the rails and stiled of the panneled door. vacum bag would be great
idea 3. cut a series of kerfs in a panel of mdf (maybe) some on 1 side and the rest on the other side(for the second curve) then bend around a former and fill the kerfs with a good glue or resin to fill them up. then apply a skin on either side and fake stiles and rails to the front
idea 4 pay a forture for cnced curved doors

Thank you Alan! I would like to keep the opening as big as possible. The corners are going to have some sort of mould put in them at the moment you can see in the picture its just pieces of MDF they are just their to help me fix the mould to from the back so you dont see any fixings. I like Idea 2! I didnt think of that! I was thinking laminating the frame and a panel and fix them together but your idea of doing part of the door and then laminate the rest for the styles is nice! Ill be using IDEA 2! Ill take pictures of doing that process when im back on the job! As long as the client does not get upset with me! She has told me I should be on her job full time, I laughed she said she was being serious  ! To be fair their is enough work for me easily to last me to Christmas if I was on it every day but so are all the other jobs I have! She has two joiners their now on it full time doing the standard joinery work hanging Doors,frames etc. JMB

She has two joiners their now on it full time doing the standard joinery work hanging Doors,frames etc. JMB I would go with option 2 also, fitting curved rail and panel together in the traditional way would be a pain. Vacuum bagging is the way to go. see this site for a UK based company http://www.bagpress.com/Home.html. They sell good bendy ply also.given its going to be painted, you could even clamp the stack of ply to be bent together and prfile on the router table, and then use pins to hold in place when you vacumm bag it. Juts make sure the pins a well inserted so as not to puncture your vacuum bag. I think once you get into vacumm bagging there will be no stopping you!

JMB I just have problems with the spring release pin thing getting in the way of laying flat or activating when I don't want it to. Those are the only negative things I can say about its use. I keep mine in a pvc pipe with a screw in plug.

Two reasons why I dont like yours Ken  lol! 1. It folds on the square corner which means when folded its folded along the longest side of the triangle ! Mine folds on the longest side of the triangle towards the square corner meaning it reduces the length when folded! 2. That spring looks like it gets in the way and doesnt look very good lol! just my 2cents! JMB

JMB, I agree with you, but I'm not swapping since shipping and customs will probably cost me as much as two Domino XL's.

JMB,
Yours looks like an equilateral triangle. Mine is a 3ft x 4ft x 5ft triangle. That would be the difference in the folding method and design.

Um...... Im pretty sure equilateral triangles have no square sides as every side has to be equal hence the name equilateral and if all sides are the same length you CAN NOT have a square corner! Ill google it in a min just to check! I might be wrong! JMB

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

I just learned from google that the English term for a triangle with 2 equal sides is an " isosceles triangle".
I never saw those smaller folding triangles before, I do have a 1m stanley folding triangle I use for layout.

OK, so obviously we have a case of different triangles from around the world. OK, everybody check their squares. How many of you have unequal sides and angles other than 90 degrees?

Yeah mine has two equal sides and two 45 45 angle corners which is called a ''Isosceles right angled triangle!'' Or what Ken might call a equilateral triangle

Yes! For internal corners it fines just when you place it on a board or something with a edge you can only use it one way round for it to hook onto the edge. Mb

Looking at Tim Raleigh video link (thank you Tim) I am actually liking that more than vacuum forming!
Going to research into the cost of this easyform stuff!
Ya, I am curious as to the cost, let us/me know. It doesn't look cheap. It sounded like they weren't really in "production" but they do look fairly substantial. Tim

i emailed them as well i got the same info along with 3-4 other pdfs on instructions and a price list for a set.
800x 1220 mm panel is 429 gbp (hollow 322 gbp)
800 - 1100 x 1220 mm extending is 429 not sure if thats only for one half or for the top as well. i dont think so.
its very dear but could be worth it in the long run
just a quick calculation in my head 500$ vac system at least 1 day for chip board former 100$ 50$ materials
650 $ to do the same thing for one project. it might reduce the labour on building the mould down to 1 hour so a saving of 90 $ maybe.

JMB, Alan: Thanks for the info. I think (guess) this application would be appropriate for slabs with "s" curves like ogee etc. but for straight curves (convex, concave), etc. a vacuum form would work as well. Tim

Current ongoing job! Nice little Project! Some Oak flooring! Stairs! Warddrobes Bathroom Arches. Well I thought this was my LAST arch! Finally! Got fed up of them! Not that easy to make!  I was wrong this was my last arch! As you can see plaster had to come back and patch up as their was a previous arch done previous plasters and I had to open my big mouth and said it looks out of level AND needs moving over really cus of the warddrobes! Well I was told to make it happen! DAM IT!  A large mirror just picked a size which seemed to fit the room the best! Looked very big when it arrived but in place doesnt seem to bad! Then had to design a frame for it! Also do something with this big large opening in the ceiling! umm...

Nice work lads, some really cool details in there. Especially like the curved rail around the toilet waste pipe. Won't be seen but it has been done right. Is the flooring nailed down ? If so what did you use to nail it.

To get nice ones is a real pain the the bum.. I got stainlless steel edged one but had to be specicially made up. I trust that is a double cover with a sealed and bolted one underneath.. just in case the worse happens Otherwise some really nice work.. lucky customer to find you guys.. I very rarely seem to go into place in the UK anymore and look around and think that is a well thought out and executed job, a lot of carpentry is really really shoddy these day!

At the very least you think it could have been integrated into the flw of the pattern rather than taking a chunk out of it.

Nice work lads, some really cool details in there. Especially like the curved rail around the toilet waste pipe. Won't be seen but it has been done right. Is the flooring nailed down ? If so what did you use to nail it.
Its glued down using Sika glue. The flooring has a minimum expansion gap of 23mm up to 30mm all round well above factory recommend 15mm! It did take ALOT longer because I had to go round ALL the rooms with the Fein Multi Master to cut plaster board to give more expansion room. The Door frames threshold I have come up with a simple Idea which Ill be calling a relieve threshold! I aint seen or heard of this method before so like to think I came up with it! As you can see the flooring runs different directions in the room with the Grand Piano and the hall way! Well its about 16meters long in total which made me a little worried to lay with out an expansion joint at the door threshold! BUT I hate having these T bar thresholds which stick up! So created a 4-5 mm rebate on the floor leaving a 10 mm gab between the two floors and sticking a 4-5 mm thick piece of oak 45mm wide as a fresh hold FLUSH I might stick some grooves in under neath the little piece so that IF the floor expands the threshold will SNAP! Instead of the floor buckling up. This can then be replaced no trouble. What do you think?!?! JMB

Really good work Brett , I like the detail at the door thresh hold and the radius around the soil pipe . Bet those MDF arches were a pain  John Its the Arch thresh hold. I wanted to do it on all the door thresholds but the client said might be to much. The grooves needs a little stain in them to darken the grooves up like the rest of the flooring so it will stand out more its because I had to cut the boards down I lost the edge. Also the light holes need drilling in.

Yeah I hate the Manhole its CRAP! Make it even worse the man hole housing is much deeper than the tiles SO the tiler just got bits of plasterboard and foamed them in the build it up so he could tile ontop to get it flush! Now that is CRAP! But it dont mater really because they are having a big unit over the top of it to hide it any way! As I DID say something to the client as I thought it was no good and needed redoing but she then told me it wont be seen as shes having some sort of unit along that wall. JMB

JMB.. I see you still have the fun job ahead of you of working out the doors for this (sink unit bottom left)   Haahaa you noticed! Yeah I have been leaving that for a rainy day lol! I have set my self a challenge der really with the double curve on the doors. Not sure how to tackle it yet! I want to be able to get my mould like I have on my Paneling in the bathrooms to be the same on the doors. Any way I can make them doors later client is more bothered about the main jobs inside the house flooring and fitting out the other two bathrooms which I aint started yet! and UPGRADING the stairs to make them look more appealing not sure how to tackle that one yet! See how it goes! ill take pictures as usual. JMB

I just noticed both hearths have them. I'm not saying to rip them up, but I wouldn't have used them there  I am also just busting your chops a bit though (which I'm sure can be taken the wrong way over the interwebz, but it is in jest, and I surly wouldn't do it if your work was crap)  Everything looks good.

All the mitre frames around the fire place I made before hand and the mitres are dominod together. I cut the floor boards down to 110mm cutting the Grooves off leaving the Tongue on. So the frames had a tongue all round. So the boards which go into it will have to have a groove. So like you can see in one of the fire places the boards are notched round. It would be difficult to add a fixed tongue to them but loose tongue is possible but pointless if you just leave the tongue on the frame around the fire place. Its easier to stick a groove into a board than making a tongue for a board which isnt to difficult but if you your slightly out of square its hassle to recut the shoulders to fit Atleast with a groove you make the groove deeper so you can adjust the cut on the end of the board to fit. I set up my OF2200 router in my CMS so I could easily put the grooves into the boards when they where cut the tongue and ''new'' grooves matched up perfectly. I didnt want to use dominos because if the board was to shrink away you would see the dominos and not a continuous tongue. JMB

JMB.. I see you still have the fun job ahead of you of working out the doors for this (sink unit bottom left)   Without seeing the full section of the cabinet, I would propose a tambour type door for the front, perhaps backed with polyethyline sheet, rather than canvass, due to the damp location.

That is some very nice work there. I think the bevels on the oak edging at the top of the stairs is a little too deep for such small pieces, but hey, I'm being really picky here  What are the drawer boxes made off, construction details & did you make it all or did Dean bail you out again

I was block planning away and I had to chisel the top tread cus it was already fitted It was an after thought I came up with the frame work around and I ended up making little boo boo and had to make the bevel a little bigger which meant all of it had to be bigger at first I thought aaaah be alrite but then when laying the floor I was like Dam its bit big wish it was smaller but its gotta be sanded so ill sand the face abit which will hopefully lower it a little ............. maybe ......lol

It will look right when stained the same YEah true Dean just the bevels are a little on the big side though cud of been smaller. It will look better once stained cus they will look black like the flooring just had to find a stain to match think found something which will match the flooring. Gotta do da sometime yay! Love staining sanding NOT! French polish .... No fun at all glad my mate Dan loved doing it! I think I might get him to do these stairs also seems to like doing stuff like this cus he really got into french polishing! He was on if for few days. I soon get bored. JMB

I used tulip for the sides and 12mm ash face MDF for the bottom as Ash seems to be a very close match to tulip. I used Blum softclose runners. No I have not had Dean help me on these jobs. Dean helped me with doing most of the flooring on this job apart from the bit of flooring you can in the pictures upstairs and downstairs which is like only 20% off the total flooring done in the house JMB

Its annoying cus it wasnt what I wanted! If I messed up a piece I would of thrown it away with a bevel like da and redone it but cus it was the tread on the stairs which needed abit of TLC I couldnt alter it. Had to chisel the mitre on the top tread you see. I fitted the stairs but when I came back to the job I was like a mitre frame around would look nice so got some more oak and did that. JMB

Maybe if you can't match it, you go contrasting like the ceiling beams.
I have some french doors made of cedar and a threshold that is pt pine. I couldn't match them so I stained the threshold ebony. I liked it.

I think one of my favourite bits is the bevel you put in the round window, make much more of a feature of it, and its looks really crisp

Cheers! I was suppose to only do the joinery work for that round window but I ended up having to plasterboard it and bead it also as the plasters said it couldnt be done or more like cudnt be bothered. The joiners/builder before me on this job did it so it came out square from the round window. I hated it and its also a dust collection area. So I ripped out all the studding and created what you see now. Its nice like you said make a good feature point but also lets more light in. JMB

 That bevel is very nice. I'd like to know how you did it. Another question, what is that round reflective thing on the floor in front of the wicker chair?

That section of the kitchen use to be out side but they extended the house. They didnt want to fill the well in cus they thought it wud be a shame so they decided to get glass made to fit flush with the floor so you can walk over the well and look down. When you look through the glass it looks a bit like this..... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GTckuC1ShiY/SUtz4DePIZI/AAAAAAAABFI/3VU442G81fw/s320/well.JPGI havent got a picture of the well its self because I didnt have any involvement in doing it. I dont normally take pictures of stuff unless I have been involved or done the job. JMB

Most likely but its all tiled with under floor heating so if u dont want cold feet just dont stand on the glass lol  Yeah they have but not much thought has gone into it to be fair. The metal frame to support the glass is a tight fit around the well so no room to hide lights so they used LED lights but they are not bright enough to really light the well up. Ill suggest to them later to use some fancy out door lights so you will see them but they will look nice but will at least light the well up so you can actually see right down. On another job I was working on few years ago they had a well in their kitchen aswell but they put a rectangle glass ontop on the round well infront of the door so it looked like a door matt out of glass. This allowed me to fix a out door hallogon under the section hidden away and the well lit up super bright and looked really good. Funny thing is GUTTED for any one who wanted to walk through the door way into the hall as they had no choice but to walk over the well. Little scary standing on glass even though I knew how thick it was and strong. The same people had a seller under the hall way so they had a glass panel fitted at the front door aswell years ago! The glass had worn so much it was like frosted glass not clear any more and it was hallow I recon it had worn down by 10mm in the middle. JMB

When we (Mother, brother and I) moved into our house in Wilton, Ct right after the WWII had ended, we had no running water, electricity, indoor plumbing, central heating. We did have a hand dug well with a cast iron hand pump just outside the kitchen door. It was my job to keep water supplied to the house. The first project for me, every day, was to get water from the well. I had to make sure there was enough water left to prime the pump. In the winter, it had to be hot water. Sometimes, there was not enough hot water to thaw the pump and i had to go to neighbors for enough hot water to do the job. every summer, we had to be very careful in how we used water. The well would go nearly dry and i had to ration to the family. about the third summer, the drougth was so severe, no amount of rationing would keep enough water in the bottom of the well. I had to climb down with short shovel and pick and add four feet to the bottom and drop in a couple of tile liners. The digging was not the hardest part. I am somewhat claustrophobic and so the toughest part of the job was to keep my mind under control. (Ok, I suppose that one sets up for some kind remarks  ) A few years later, we had another dry spell and so we got a "pounder" machine in and then we had water to spare. The trouble with the drilled well was the water was full of iron and sulphur. The water, altho now plentiful, was smelling of rotten eggs and all dishes and utensils acquired rings of rust. JMB, your photo brings back much memory. Some great and some not so much. Tinker

If you could figure out the arcs for laying in long pieces of wallboard you wouldn't need half as many ribs but you'd consume a full sheet of wallboard vs less than half.

Oh sorry I made lots of pieces of tapered plaster board pieces which lapped half way on the 2x2 timber I then scored few lines down the back of the boards so they would snap to fallow the curve more.
I had them sailing past and when I done them all I cut them of with a handsaw they where flush to the face.
Then using a bead I bent that round and screwed it as I went round. That bit was the hard bit trying to keep it flowing as it wanted to leave straight sections.

I might have to do an on site spray job on and attic unit and am trying to work out the best way and if i even want to!

I might have to do an on site spray job on and attic unit and am trying to work out the best way and if i even want to! I didnt spray the main arches the client painted them from scratch ( not very good) I sprayed the units, small arches undercoat only Well I used emulsion at first which was recommended by windmill man here on FOG. At first I thought it was good cus one spray and then a sand got it smooth plus it gave it a undercoat. Instead of using pva which would only seal it. But I found using emulsion is not that good for durability and didnt seal it fully on first coat so required a sand and then second coat and sand. A unit which was painted with a few coats by hand by the client after I put emulsion on would chip more easily but when it chipped off it chipped off right back down to the MDF like the emulsion didnt stick. Also another thing bad about emulsion because its water base your MDF will bend if you just spray one side of the MDF you have to spray both sides to keep your MDF stable. So I decided to use oil base undercoat paint which is loads better! I was able to get the MDF alot smoother once I sanded it in just one coat and is a lot more durable. I wish I never used the emulsion bad idea get the feeling some one was having a laugh. I used a portable hvlp cus it was only to get the undercoat on quick and evenly for me to sand smooth ready for the client. For the client to do a poor job at filling and painting[crying] I don't normally spray for clients but it is something I want to get into just learning curve! I ain't no professional in this!

Nice one cheers. I would never spray emulsion onto mdf, think you got stitched up there mate  I was wondering as we have sprayed acid cat once before but it stinks and that was a building site and this is a lived in house so it's a no go. Unfortunately it's just not possible to do this one in the spray shop.

I have put emulsion onto mdf as a primer before. I didn't spray it, i rolled it with a 100mm foam roller. It gave me good results with an oil paint on top ! Maybe spraying is different. I sanded all the mdf with 120 grit to take the shininess away from it & give the paint something to grip to. I don't think Windmill Man was trying to stitch you up.

Dulux trade do a decent water based MDF primer that is designed for spraying, I had no problems with using a Fuji Q4, you need to water it down a little, then what worked for me was lots of light mist coats in pretty quick succession, e.g. by the time I had finished going from once side to the other, it was dry enough for me to start again. I did about 5 lights coats in succession, then waited a couple of hours and did the same, ended up with a good solid base coat of primer, then sprayed Dulux trade diamond satinwood. this was the end result

Thanks for the info and nice unit mate!

JMB: Those arches, and all the work look really good. Well I used emulsion at first which was recommended by windmill man here on FOG. At first I thought it was good cus one spray and then a sand got it smooth plus it gave it a undercoat. Instead of using pva which would only seal it.
Interesting. I don't know what emulsion is maybe it goes by a different name here. What's the chemistry of emulsion? What does it contain? A unit which was painted with a few coats by hand by the client after I put emulsion on would chip more easily but when it chipped off it chipped off right back down to the MDF like the emulsion didnt stick.
Interesting, I am curious what kind of paint (solvent based or water borne) did the client use to paint the arches? So I decided to use oil base undercoat paint which is loads better! I was able to get the MDF alot smoother once I sanded it in just one coat and is a lot more durable.
Was this after you used the emulsion on the same arch or a different arch? How do you know the chipping wasn't on an arch that you used the oil base undercoat? Tim

Tim All I know is emulsion contains water and is mostly used for painting walls and ceilings The client used a acrylic paint which they really slapped on. I tried to sand it back for them but it just clogs up my Rotex sand paper very quickly. It looks fine but they have two LED lights shinning up the arch and when u turn them on you see the poor runny painting and filling by the client.

The emulsion would have been vinyl matt more than likely. The paint on arches would have been farrow and ball, little greene or fired earth i think

Nice touch with the video. Should do more of them. I always use aluminium primer on Mahogany. Only primer that really sticks to Mahogany. Bloody expensive though !

I Really like those wardrobe doors. How about some details on the construction.
How are the Muntins installed to the Door?
Did you paint the doors and then Install the Glass?

I Really like those wardrobe doors. How about some details on the construction.
How are the Muntins installed to the Door?
Did you paint the doors and then Install the Glass?
Doors are made of tulip and MDF panel. 4 Doors are like you see in the pictures other 4 have mirrors and 2 were smaller plain doors. The mirrors are one solid panel with the beads stuck on the face. Taped the entire mirror up first then using a Stanley knife cut out exactly where the cross beads where going. I sprayed these doors with a oil base undercoat paint. The doors are dominod together. Other tools used for the doors were Festool OF2200 in the CMS, rotex and gilatine trimmer. They were all made in site.

JMB, Great job. I have, at times, struggled with finishing where something like you muntons cross glass or wood. Your solution of taping everything and then cutting where they cross is sooooo simple, i wonder why a smart  guy like me never thought of it. Oh well, I guess i still have a little of the heavier hammer and less mud in my mind. I'll get there one of these days as long as guys like you keep boring us with your endless pictorials.  But, no kidding, your work is great and I do appreciate the effort you put in to show & tell how you did it. Tinker

Is the door made from separate pieces or one piece? I never saw that system before. Looks really good.

Did u use 6mm for the flat panel then 12mm for the rails and stiles? Route the profile on the rails and stiles and mitre the corner of the profile and glue it all up in that jig then?
I'm guessing here to be honest

Very cool. I think (curve) it looks great. How did you deal with the molding to have it form to the curve? Tim

Good system!! Love it! Saves alot of time! Once u drilled the holes and assembled it which takes some time!!! But once done its done for ever! Then from then on you just simply make two curves out of plywood or MDF job done for just a simple curve. If your doing a S shape like I have done then you need to make four curved temples two male two female. What I use to do was make up a box frame work which takes longer isn't as good and bigger and waists money on 2x2 and lots of screws. Curvomatic is quicker saves on material but also storage. Because you can keep two 18mm pieces of ply for later but a large curved box takes up more room.

I used materials which were already on the job as left overs. Had a full 9mm sheet of green MDF 18mm MDF and some hard board. That's why the door is abit of a miss match in colour but hey who cares being painted. So what I did Made few rip cuts at 150mm wide with 9mm MDF then with my thicknesser I thinned the 9mm down to about 2mm then I glued 8 layers together and curved them in the curvo matic while the two 150mm wide strips then Made the beading which I didn't bend I actually cut the curve pieces with jig saw and Routerd the mould onto them. then I would of liked to thinned down the 9mm MDF again for the solid back but wouldn't fit in my thicknesser so I decided to use the hard board as its thinner in the first place glueing up 3 layers. Not recommend just 3 layers as u do get slight spring back very slight I got zero spring back with the MDF 8 layers. then the 150mm pieces I ripped down to 65mm for the rails so I got 4 from the 2 I glued up. then when the hardboard was solid I marked out where I wanted the styles and rails and glued them onto the hard board placing them back into the jig. then Cus I just used the 18mm for the styles they didnt have curve I shaped them with the rotex one with slight hallow other side slight round. Wasnt going to spend time just glueing layers for the styles for such a small amount if curve wasnt worth it. then I fixed the beading on. It was but awkward getting the angles for the mitres. Done???

Great work JMB. I really admire what you do "on site". you have a lot of imagination.
i wonder about using plastic outside (if you are actually serious) When i was in construction, a lot of goys used gun racks in the back window of their trucks to carry 4' levels. I never had any problem doing that as my levels were all aluminum I-beam type with solid wood fillers both sides. Some of my friends went to the cheaper plastic levels and very soon, from hanging on those racks in the summer heat (with or without direct sun on them), the levels were warped. Some of them (better ones maybe) were imperceptible but a lot of problems in use. Others were bent like an archer's bow.
I am sure improvements have been made since I left the trade, but I am just as sure i would not trust plastic for something like an MFT top to be used out side.
I still have several of my old I-beam levels. I cannot find them any more. They really took a lot of beating. the guys who used plastic were constantly replacing. (Note: I have been away from construction for over 30 years, so definitely not QUITE up on some of newer developments.) Tinker

with my thicknesser I thinned the 9mm down to about 2mm
MDF is pretty abrasive, isn't that going to kill your blades?
