Moderators Youthman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2016 A 6' crosscut sled was made since there will be routing across several pieces that are 13' long as well as several shorter pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Very nice choice of stain. I did a conference room in that color and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted June 2, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks guys. I've always loved the darker colored woods (Cherry, Mahogany). I'm REALLY glad now that I decided to change it from Ebony to Cherry. I can't wait to get it installed and pull out my Nikon to get some high res photos of it. New Video Tour will be in order as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted June 2, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2016 Sorry guys....I posted the same photo 3 times. Scroll up for corrected photos. I copied the URL and forgot to change the number of the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 This is truly impressive! Was this done on a router table? How did he keep the lines straight? I imaging its hard to have a guide with it being so long unless you had a guide run in a previously routed groove? Home made crosscut sled on the router table that is built into the table saw wing. Long cuts are just using the fence. Exceptional job Wake, you definitely have a way with wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakeJunkie Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just FYI. All the pieces match. Camera phone colors are not consistent with different lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, plus some I try and color correct but it's hard knowing what the true color is being 600 miles away. Regardless, you are doing a phenomenal job bro. Can't wait to hang out with you in a few weeks and see this masterpiece for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Spectacular! You are certainly vindicated on the choice of using cherry, the grain just pops! One question; you keep referring to "varnish." I tend to think of varnish as the protective topcoat from the 20th century. Why didn't you use polyurethane? I'm not questioning your wisdom or your choice, my knowledge is just short in this area.

I'm using Spar Urethane with a satin finish. Grandfather called it varnish, Dad called it varnish..... Poly=varnish in many southern dialects.

Moderators Youthman Posted June 4, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2016 I leave for Alabama in 2 weeks to pick up the new cabinet! This week, I will begin disassembling my current false wall and painting the front wall flat black since the new screen will have the ability to raise up as well as interior lighting to reveal the LaScalas through the AT Screen (not sure how well that is going to work. Will post pics later this week. I also have to climb into my attic and run 12gauge Romex from the garage to the Theater Room so we can run a dedicated circuit to the HT for the equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
