Wall Unit Project #2: Countertop progress

Great idea, way to think on your feet. I too have used the angled joint for crown molding. It just hides so much better than a standard butt joint. Looking forward to more posts on the progress.

Nicely done!!!

I like “Gin Joints with Butts”, but I don’t like “Butt Joints”!!!

I like the look of lacquer, but I hear it is difficult to spray. What have you found to be the case???

OK, it’s fabricated and soon to be colorizes, and lacquered … how do you plan to move this rcan’tather large piece and I’ll let you know right now I live too far away to help!

Can’t wait to see it with the lacquer on it!

I see that your work table is made out of Al extrutions. I keep some of that around for temporary set ups like when I was finishing some 120” pieces of oak base. Like the add says “an industrial erector set”.

Hans, technically, that is my up-and-coming CNC machine framework doing double duty for the moment as an assembly bench. The A axis is mocked up down under there somewhere.

You can see the corner of my actual assembly table in the last photo. It is only 36 X 48 and not adequate for such a long peice.

Randy, I’ve been spraying lacquer since I started woodworking. My biggest frustration is making sure the gun is set up properly. It always seems to come down to trial and error a bit. Weather can play a role, as well as the specific material you are spraying.

I like the pre-cat stuff since it flashes out dry to touch in only 15 minutes. The downside to pre-cat is it goes bad in the can only 120 days after it is catalyzed.

Very nice.
Good pointers on dealing with shorter boards. The seams do look better with a cross strip. Neat.

You got class Sir,

SPalm,
Now don’t go inflating DS’ already OVER inflated ego!!! Lol. ;^)

Thanks for the lacquer info. I’ve got spray equipment, but I haven’t used it yet. The day is coming though, that I build a spray booth and start spraying!!!

Good job. The seams look great with the strips. I used this same technique when I extended my outdoor deck and it turned out real good.
