........or how I spent my last two weekends.
I think it is about time that I posted since I have read so much good stuff on this fourm. This is my first attempt at doing a project like this
This is phase one of a three phase project, the first phase will be a wainscot for kitchen counter back, here are some pictures of phase one, I first had to rout the taper flutes in two boards then miter the corners and route the slot for the corner that will receive the panels, then glue up the assembly then round over the corner, the corner panel has cutout for the electrical outlet and the right corner style has a cut out for the toe kick and also has a round over corner and rabbit cut on the back to fit around the face frame that overlapped the end by 3/8" .
the finish is red oak with a white wash and water base poly. I used a taper fluting jig (I built this jig useing info I got on this site) on the styles with raised panels in between., the corner style was the most difficult,
Phase two will be to make raised panel doors for all the top cabinets, and phase three will be to do the bottom cabinets
LOML thinks there will be a phase four to this project, she would like to replace the counter top and the kitchen sink now (seems like one thing leads to another) That list just keeps getting longer.
