Working on deciding on how to accomplish some parts of this project.
1. Posts - It looks like each post has 8 bullnose trim pieces. Agree? I was thinking 3/8" or 1/4". Not sure. How would I attach these? I have a brad nailer. Would that split these?
2. Panels - should I use a raised panel door bit set? I was looking at some MCLS sets. Anything else I should look at or consider?
3. Finials - I have a small jet lathe and could try to turn them. It would be my 1st time to try to do repeats. Any places I should look as a source for them?
4. Router - If I use a raised panel bit set.... I have a PC without speed control. I assume I at least need a speed control? Should I get a dedicated larger router. I had a Milwaukee 5625-20 but sold it last year as I had not used it. I can get another if need be. I have a incra lift that this router fit right into.
That is enough for now. I am sure I will have more questions later.
