This is a project I've been working on since June. It was a build out of 5000 sq ft of open commercial space, into a residential apartment in downtown Manhattan.
My part consisted of building and painting the door frames, doors & floor molding, a whole lot of window seats, some large solid oak entry frames,
wood paneled columns, a wall with wood panels and paneled doors, some bath vanities, some cabinet areas, and so on. I still have projects I'm working
on in the space, the owners keep adding little things as the work progress's.
Festools I used were an RO125, a ETS125, DTS400, a TS75, TS55, my old trusty CT22, a domino, and a few other's.
On to the work, the first job I used the Domino for was making wood panels to wrap two rectangular columns.
The corners are mitered, I used the dominos to align and glue the corners tight. The TS75 was used to cut the miters in the
white rift oak ply. When the corners were put together the result was an extremely sharp corner! Guys on the site were
amazed how precise the corners were, I had to sand them down so people did not cut themselves on them.
making them,
The solid white rift oak frame was one of my favorite things I've done for the apt. It's 4/4, I used the RO125
to sand it from 50 to 180 grit. I made a small mock up first to make sure I would get the cuts in the right direction
for the compound mitered corners. The elevator doors in the background are going to get the same treatment.
this wall is still being worked on, there was some debate on which hinges to use to hide the hardware, pivot won out.
A lot of time was spent prepping and spraying the trim work and doors. I used an accu-spray 230 turbine and their #10 gun.
I spray all water based finishes (enduro now owned by general), it makes life easier.
tape and plastic for the floor molding
door frames, I used the DTS400 to sand between coats
we turned the master bedroom into a spray booth for the doors,
This 3'x15' counter was going to be a huge slab of teak, now it's going to be marble [sad]
I was really looking forward to the slab [crying]
one nice perk, I had room to set up a shop area on the floor below which is empty.
I'll post more pics as I finish the rest of the projects.
thanks for looking!

it's up there in price, a realtor estimated it could fetch around $7-8M.
