Every miter you see was cut with the TS55, then held together with dominos. Can't believe how tight the miters came out, and can't believe how easy it was to use the domino to aid with holding the miters. NO FACE NAILING NECESSARY! Multiple dry fits, on and off the wall to make sure everything was on the mark, could not have been possible without the domino. I earlier started a post questioning that the domino can't be this easy to use, can it? Well, first time using it (minus a few minutes here and there) full time...it really is that easy.

Jon,
Great job on those panels! I was pretty darn impressed the first time I mitered using the Domino. It will sure put some sharp corners together, gotta watch out for those paper cuts.
Hey what was your procedure to create the shadow lines on the panels?

The panels were oversized for the most part, with one or two edges (depending on what edge was to be cut) that were not banded. The gaps between the panels (or the shadow lines) are about 1/8 to 3/16 wide, and I filled them in with a piece of finished material that I held back about 3/8 from the face of the panels. If that makes sense. Thanks for the compliments guys, that means a lot. Jon |

It's certainly beautiful but I'm not clear on what I'm seeing. Is it entertainment center stuff? Are there doors? What's the internal framing? Are some of those panels doors?
Curious species choice for dark stain but it came out just great. I don't notice any ray flecks. Do you have a close up?

Fshanno, I agree with you about the species. Very difficult to tell that it is quarter sawn oak. All panels are fixed, not doors. The area between is a wet bar and wine bar. Heres some pics I took during the process. |

All I can say is WOW! I hope I get to do a job like that some day. It looks very good up close. Big prominent rays might not have looked right anyway in that contemporary design. Wonderfully consistent finish. How was it applied? All I've ever done with QS oak is wipe on gel in mission type tones.

Thought you might pick up on that! All I can say is WOW! I hope I get to do a job like that some day. It looks very good up close. Big prominent rays might not have looked right anyway in that contemporary design. Wonderfully consistent finish. How was it applied? All I've ever done with QS oak is wipe on gel in mission type tones.
I'm not sure how the stain was applied. I think it was wiped, since I didn't see any stain overspray on the unfinished edges. I didn't supply the panels, so I can only guess. But could make some calls to find out if you really need to know. Thanks for the compliments. Was very nervous about getting this job. Thought I bit off more than I could chew, but thanks to my festools, it wasnt nearly as scary as I thought. Jon |

Jon:
I love the look/design. Great project to work on.
I was wondering what the panels were attached to but your pictures cleared that up.
I was wondering why (you?) used the pocket holes for cross members? Was this to make sure the frame was a consistent width from top to bottom?
Thanks again for posting.
Tim

Tim, I used the pocket holes for cross members out of sheer convenience. A trim carpenter had a Porter Cable production pocket hole machine and said it was mine to use, super fast. So I ripped some plywood stock, cut to size and pocket-screwed them into the 2x4s. The framing was anything but consistent! One corner was about 3/8 out from top to bottom...nothing a small sledge couldn't fix! Thanks, Jon |
