compass rose ceiling detail #3: Gluing the veneer to the plywood

We use Unibond 800 to glue the veneer.

Then we put it in a vacuum bag.

When dried we sand it flat.

Next we make the two pieces of molding that go in the inside. One is horizontal and one is vertical.

First we mill the Sepele lumber.
Then we cut all the angles and pinch dog them together until they dry

Next we make a cutting template that will cut both pieces on the pin router.
We use an oval jig to cut out the template.




Then we screw it in place on the Sepele.

Then we cut it out on the inverted pin router.



The vertical molding sits on top of the horizontal molding.

Now we need to profile the inside of both pieces.

We screw a block of wood that is the same hight as the molding is off the table including the blocks the hold the molding in place.

And start routing.

Bottom profile

When done sanding we screw them together.

-- Have a great day.
