swt61 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Some days I have fiddly, little stuff that takes time, with little visual reward. The homeowners wanted to save these built-ins. We had to remove them temporarily to wire the walls behind. Either in the removal or during it's life, the cabinet was missing some little trim pieces that you just can't find today. So I have to manufacture my own. The end result just looks like nothing was done, when in fact it was a lot of fiddling. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 About half of this coffered ceiling and 1/3 of the wainscoting was missing. I had to manufacture some of the trim that is no longer available. Painters have done a fantastic job making my work look even better. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 So, after hurting my back I left some things up to the pros. Look how that turned out. Yes the blue and red color in the background is the EMS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 Just now, Grahame said: Brent level "Pro"'s ? Quite possible. I don’t compare their BAI’s - now you mention it, it wasn’t cheap. Then they figured out that another one of these can’t move itself. So maybe they will fetch a crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 But if you think about it, the retaining wall is doing it's job very well. So there's that. I think you just got your projects mixed up. The bearing is supposed to be inverted, not the earth mover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah that project - I need a circle router template so I can recess the nut a bit on the back of the plinth. Ideal template would be a circle on the outside too so I could use that outside edge to cut away the dampening rubber backing on the plinth.

luvdunhill Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 On 3/26/2023 at 6:31 AM, n_maher said: Dimensions? Hm I am not exactly sure. I have a router with a “Standard U.S. Guide Bushing Adapter” (Festool OF1010 EQ Imperial) but no guide bushing (or at least I don’t see one in the box). I have various straight shank bits in 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”. I need the finished inside diameter to be 2-1/2” and then the outside diameter to be 3-1/2” (or up to maybe 4”) and enough surface to make sure it sticks down real well.

luvdunhill Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 Ok, I think I figured it out. I want a 2.5” finished circle, using a 1/2” bit and a 3/4” outside diameter bushing so I need a 2.75” inside hole and a 4” outside diameter. The thickness would be best if more than 9/16” (that’s the height of the bushing). Did I pass the math test? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted April 2 Author Report Share Posted April 2 (edited) So I received the bushing set a day early and think I got it all setup. I guess the dust collection has to come off when using the bushing insert? Edited April 2 by luvdunhill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
