alkaline, how do you finish the edges?  That shelf looks really awesome and I want to give painting MDF a go, but I'm still a bit confused on how to treat the edges.

Thanks!

As everybody said, the finish is just great!!
Also the clients enviroment looks high end, I see the work is too [eek]

There are several products that seal the edges on mdf.
They work really well, and give it the same finish as the top.
Look and ask at a paint specialist, sure they have it.

FANTASTIC WORK ALKALINE!

I have a question...is there a clear coat on the wood or is it just glossy paint, then sanded?  I love that glossy look.

The finish on those pieces is fantastic!
Thanks for posting.

Thank you Tim. Your words are support for me for next work.

Alkaline:

Is that 'W' shaped item a bookshelf, or just decorative? Also, how did you fasten it to the wall?

Mr. Wow, in our work we do not make anything just for show. Shelf can hold a load of books weighing 15 kg. Is fixed two invisible brackets that are on the market under the name REX.

Eric, I'm flattered. Thank you. The way I started this work is in part described on the previous pages of this thread.
I use material designed for the automotive industry, namely polyester filler and primer filler from ROBERLO and high gloss two-component polyurethane paint for metal.
L5403493 the picture you can be seen locally sealed with edges, resulting from inaccurate work sawing and gluing the resulting shaped shelves (in this I still have room for improvement).
By hand or with DTS 400 (with using 350 to 400 abrasive) make it a perfect edges.
Followed by injection of 3 layers of filler. He is finalized abrasive 800.
Next step is sprayed color and layer 4 in edge and 2-3  on the surface. After curing ( I use two heaters with a temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius) followed by grinding under water with detergents for sediment alleviate. Using 1500, 3000 and 6000 - 3M abrasives.
After sanding, followed polish MPA 6000 or 8000 with orange and dark gray plastic foam using the Rotex 150. Last action is polishing sheepskin using SHINEX RAP 150 and 11000 MPA.
I hope to understand me.

Thank you. Someone recommended edges sealed with tape of the some material. I do not do it. I believe that the MDF for indoor use is sufficiently dimensionally stable. But in the context of further improving the quality I also does not prevent this practice. It also I considers the use of two-component epoxy adhesives is maybe progress.

Thank you. Yes it is a glossy car paint additionally polished. For the future I considering the use of conventional paint with several layers of transparent paint, which will contain trace amounts of black pigment for better clarity.

Nice work as usual!!!  [not worthy]

Did you use the HL850 with a fine cutter on the insides of the boxes?

Thanks,
Eric

Although must admit that I underestimate shade of blue, I feel like a real fan of Festool.

I like to share some photos from preparation for the production of a few massive pieces that represent my debut in the world of real wood. I duly excited in anticipation of the outcome.
To be continued

Nice weekend to all!

[wow]

Holy Giant Trammel, BatMan?! Talk about custom fixturing for a job - you've really gone to great lengths...no pun intended!

May I ask what that is going to be? I'm guessing some sort of store display?

Mr. Wow, I can say that I plan to construct a massive seating teak. Details will see shortly.

Very cool. I will be waiting to see your next creation!

Nice arc, I think it suits the usage, and the material..exclusive...

 

[alkaline]

... some of the preparatory phase. I hope that over the weekend we will have the first pieces. Teak is a wonderful material.
