Sorry I am not too active the past while on the forum - been busy, and I often forget to take photos and post. Hard to believe that it is 6 1/2 years since I have incorporated the Shopbot into my shop, and it continues to allow us to manufacture things that we otherwise couldn’t do.
This past spring, we did a large custom kitchen and other cabinetry four a customer. They also wanted to have a large (10’ By 4’) dining table made in quarter cut white oak.
We did some drawings of the proposed base, then cut a sample from poplar to get the OK. The past week I cut the parts for the base columns (23” long, 10” wide and 3 1/2” thick - 4 pcs per column) roughed them out and finish machined them with a 1/2” ballnose bit.
We mitred them on the resale bandsaw set to 45 degrees - and jointed the faces perfectly to mitre the bases together.
This is another job I am very proud of - a true custom piece for a good customer (we did their oak staircase as well, and other closet cabinetry all in maple).
Will post pics when it is stained and finishhttp://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j307/ajcoholic/92BB4546-AC90-4A96-BCA8-862EE7F849BC_zps52uof7j5.jpeg (http://s83.photobucket.com/user/ajcoholic/media/92BB4546-AC90-4A96-BCA8-862EE7F849BC_zps52uof7j5.jpeg.html)ed. Just waiting to get the sample colour approved.
