Just one question: The "empty spaces" in the floor (Where there are no tiles) What will you put in there?

Thank you all for the nice comments. The empty spaces in the floor get hardwood flooring done by others. I only did the woodwork.

Eiji,
I'm impressed once again! From one tradesman to another, you have my respect. I know what goes into these kind of projects, I can foresee the build process and what it took to do this kind of work.
The design is simple, but in no way does it show the simplicity of this kind of work, it is always challenging to make a simple and clean design, you have nothing there to dress and hide fasteners or nails. The final look is clean and well thought out, it will stand the test of time.
"Timeless"
well done.

having the customer base to get work like that put your way is half the battle

Hey all,
The Following is a pic/tutorial on perfect mitered columns with the TS75:
1st pic is of the Cutting jig which raises the stave off the MFT and also supports the ends of the guide rails. With out supporting the ends of the guide rail the start and end of the cuts can be off.
2nd pic is the placement of the stave on the cutting jig.

2nd pic is the placement of the stave on the cutting jig.
Pic 3- I place the guide rails on the stave. The columns are 14 1/2" and with a 1/16" shim between the rails thats exactly what I get. This ensures that I have staves exactly the same dimension every time with no measuring and it also speeds up the sawing operation. With the guide rails clamped together with some spring clamps. Im ready to cut.
Pic 4,5 - Cutting the 90 deg on both sides.
hey Timmy C., I like the hat. Thanks

Clamp em up, those blocks protecting the miters were a real pain to get on. I switched to using continuous cauls and they worked flawlessly. Poly glue was used to give me a little open time to get everything together.
And here is a shot of my dominoed clamp rack

Firstly, before saying "Waaah what a lovely job, very nice, my mouth is staying open arf ;D" Let me say hello to everybody. Let me say too excuse-me for my broken (and limited) English; I'm from Belgium and English is not my native tongue. Feel free to correct me if I do some mistake.
So the main subject of my post: What a very nice job Eiji F, I'm very impressed by the quality of your job and especially by the mitter joint for columns.
Have a nice day.
Olivier

Very nice Eiji F !
I once did a job like that. I was inexperienced and took such pride in my perfect joints and totally tight and pointed edges.
The next day the boss went on and on how nice and perfect it was. Then he said " get your butt over there and round off all the edges you are going to kill someone the corners are so sharp!
I never thought of that while I was doing the work. Being inexperienced I just used a sander to round the edges. Man I messed that up. If only I had known how to use a router with a round over or chamfer bit. Live and learn I guess.
