Sapele Office

I am in... awe. I would pay to watch you build that!!!!! Do you work alone? or do you accept drooling experienced people that can only hope of being that good.

You truly are an artist. How many years have you been at this.

From the business side did the client just have you do it and send the bill or did you have to bid something like this? How many hours/weeks do you have into it?

Tell your son...to fire up the Festool and see what it will build for him!...LOL

Please share all your projects with us..... 

I think you just achieved Rock Star status on FOG.

Humbly....
Cheers,
Steve

Wow Nice!  Very Nice!    How did you do all the motor and mechanism on that door?     I see it opens up another door in the back! AND the bottom section moves back first I assume this holds up the shelve above and when it moves back the shelves drops down just with gravity?  

What I would like to know is how the top part moves after.    Im assuming the motor is attached to the bottom and pulls the bottom sections once it goes so far back it pulls to top but it cant be that simple as the top section would rattle as it would have to be loose  and because when it closes it closes first so kinda want to know how you have that setup to work.

Thank you!

That is finishing carpentry of the highest order & something that you would expect from a company such as Silverlining.

Outstanding work & i hope you made a lot of money from that job as you deserve to.

[not worthy] [thanks]

Phenomenal craftsmanship!  Can't wait too see the gold leaf as well.

Any chance of a video of the TV setup?

Thanks for sharing/inspiring! [big grin]
 
That's too cool. I would like to see the mechanics behind the door also. This project is going to be hard to top.

Very Very nice. Congrats.
I don't  actually build stuff like this, but I sometimes supervise/ liason with the client other joiners/ cabinetmakers. How do you deal with the dentil moulding? Is the repeat/ frequency worked out in advance? Or is it done after crown etc. so you get good inside and outside miters? I ask because some jokers bring pre-made dentil moulding in to the job, and then mitre it willy nilly, without regard to consistent spacing and sizing.
I'd like to be able to save me from client complaints, and the joiners from ripping it out.

Again...beautiful work.
 
That door is freaking awesome!! And the rest of the build too, outstanding!
Like JMB i'm interrested in the electrical system behind the door. I'm alwas interrested in that
sort of wood-/electromechanic. Hope you can tell us something about it... [blink]

Is this the office for a veryyyy rich oil sheikh or something LOL [big grin]

Keep posting your jobs! types like you make the most wonderfull bespoke furniture!

JMB you've got it ,, that's basically how it works. the bottom door has the actuator attached to it , there is wedges on the underside of the top as the door moves back
the front of the top drops down so i could keep the joint as tight as i could , it then picks the top door up, i offset the hinge line as the doors are two different lengths, but i wanted them to be inline when the door was in the open position, it needed to finish tight to the frame on the other door frame too,it all works really smoothly too,, there is not much to see on the back of the door but i will take a photo.
i have attached  one  of the back of the tv doors and the guide , I epoxy glue some brass plate to a piece of sapele before i routered the groves for the guides , then turned some top hat bushes to run in the grove , I made the rest of the linkage out of aluminum and made nylon bushes for the slides, i have fitted the actuators on them today but the guy who is sort the electrics out has not done it yet so i can't show them running yet  :( i
the grilles came today for the radiator covers so that's another job done and i fitted the false shelves on the door and trimmed out inside the TV space just the cables to sort out in there now  :)
As for the crown mould i ran it all on my CMS i used axminster power tools cornice cutter, I don't rate there own brand at all but i was really please with this cutter
http://www.axminster.co.uk/axcaliber-cornice-moulding-router-cutter-prod837619/

I'm really lucky in the fact that guy who it is for is a really good mate of mine, I have done work for him over the last 8 years or so and for the past 5 years i have worked on mainly his house Fullltime  [eek] I have hardly done any other work in that time !i never have to price anything , i just charge him a hourly rate, it doesn't matter how long it takes, but i have done a lot of work to it in that time  :)

I've hit a brick wall with picking a handle for the job so if anyone has a link or any ideas i would appreciate it

and  thanks all for looking and your comments

p.s tim i love the fuji :)

This is the kind of room that if it was in my home I would never leave it.  Lets see why: Stunning Woodwork----Check, Secret Doors and Panels----Check, A Flat screen TV-----Check, No books on the shelves to take away from the beautiful craftsmanship-----Check, and random Festools and systainers floating around. It really doesn't get any better than that! Great job on your progress so far. I'm sure everyone including myself would love to see more pictures when it is completely finished. Kudos on a project well done.
