Above 1200 Sq/FT BoostingAZ's Garage & Woodshop

Saddle racks are cool!!

Thanks! They might be a bit "over-red-neck engineered" but it was all scrap anyways and I know it's only a matter of time before one of the younger 3 decides to play Simone Biles while nobody is looking.

I got my daughters windows done this morning.

I like that trim style much better than the one with the bullseyes! Are you going to stain the baseboard to match?

Baseboards are all being ripped out. So yes and no, yes they will match but not these .

My process will be all windows, start over and do all the doors, then base very last.

Going with tall base and no shoe?

Winner winner chicken dinner! Probably 6.5-7".

After the kids went to bed I got two more aprons cut, sanded and the edges knocked down and two more header starts glueing up.

 

[Boostingaz]

Waiting on more glue to dry just a bit before I finally sand and stain.

Kids were playing in the shop nicely so carved out my out feed table transition so that I can actually use my cross cut again.

The wife is more of a visual person so I built a model of my idea for the doors/base for her to mull over.

Let me take a little poll here. Was playing around a bit in the garage this morning as my son asked to play with his trucks, so not gonna say no....

Option A: (will be on the right in the comparison)



Option B: (left)



Comparison:

 

[Jayman17]

The one on the right with the beveled edge for the win!

 

[zanyad]

A! (with the chamfer on the lowest part of the doorframe)

 

[quadrcr87]

I vote A as well. You could try a round over instead of a bevel as Option C.

I'm not sure that would work well with the blockiness of that lower piece.

 

[fouckhest]

I'd vote option A

 

[Mezz2006]

I'm a fan of Option A.

 

[68400BIRD]

Option A. It matches the base better with more detail. B looks to plain next to the base trim.

 

[Boostingaz]

A! (with the chamfer on the lowest part of the doorframe)

I'm intrigued. Are you saying just turn it upside down so it creates a shadow line of sorts (picture).

Also......what it i chamfer both sides, top and bottom? This is just a test piece anyways so I'll cut and see what that looks like here in a bit.

 

[Boostingaz]

Tried. It turned out to be super hard (well didn't try to hard but didn't want to adjust my router settings as I'm rounding over like every single edge of everything and I want it to match so can't touch it).

It might be hard to see in the photos but the piece is actually "3D". It's two rounded over ripped strips attached on each side that are thicker. My router wasn't liking that drop so the middle flat board was getting a wonky cut.

While my daughter was riding (the horse) I ran in the shop and cut the new top. I set it up to chamfer back to the casing so that there is no flat dead spot at all, just transition. What about something like this? (Note the small chamfer is still on the bottom now instead)

 

[zanyad]

No, I was thinking d you had it, with the chamfer pointing up

 

[zanyad]

I like that heavy chamfer on the top

I’m digging the original A more betta. Matching that reveal (or whatever you wanna call it) adds more detail to it.

Yea I think I'll go happy-ish medium but heavier towards the original. I still want a little flat spot just in case the drywall and door jams aren't perfectly in the same plane and I need to fudge the casing a bit. With it being that precise it would cause one end of the casing to be proud of the plinth if/when that happens.

 

[Boostingaz]

My son and I had to take some stuff over to my cousin's today so while we already had the flatbed out (which requires moving the tractor, so two things already moved) we played musical junk when we got home and I got everything tucked away for winter in 1-1/4 shop bays.

Now there is so much room for activities! My kids like to roller skate and skateboard and ride their bikes in circles so I figured it would just give us some extra winter activities. Fire up the stove and they can play while I either work or just sit and watch from my redneck living room (patio furniture) lol.

I'd loose the bottom chamfer and leave a reveal (shoot for 1/8" or so) on the top. So more than the first but less than the second. Flush is always way more work than having a reveal.

That was kind of where I landed. I want it to look tight to the floor, not like it was an install mistake and a reveal will give me a smidge of wiggle room of something is out of whack between all the parts.

Thanks for stopping by great cabinet wizard

 

[Jayman17]

I'm jealous of all that open floor space even with all your equipment in there.

 

[Boostingaz]

Well...woke up to this this morning.

[gilr]

Definitely not AZ anymore!!

 

[68400BIRD]

Same white stuff here. The roads were solid ice last night. Let the fun begin.

This. I like the chamfer but leave that 1/8" or so reveal as attempting to make that chamfer terminate right at the intersection with the vertical casing will drive you crazier than those kids on a 20 hr car ride without snacks.

Just got off the phone with a sales rep in Chicago and they got a dusting overnight and may have 2" or so this afternoon....I bet the kids had a blast playing in it! We've got some new neighbors from Houston(he grew up here) and she and the kids are super excited about snow as they've never had it when visiting for the holidays. The rest of us....not as excited lol.

Reminds me getting snowblower out of the shed and ready to go needs added to my to do list....ugh

 

[OutlawDrifter]

You keep that stuff there for now!

 

[Jayman17]

Sure looks pretty there but I will enjoy it from afar and deal with our rain instead.

Definitely agree on leaving a flat at the top transition just for the reason you stated. When we remodeled our house 30 years ago, we had several decisions similar. Alignment of certain horizontal planes across room areas, etc.

Our decision was always to have a visible difference in lieu of trying to match exactly. Our take was that it was better to clearly see the difference as obvious instead of trying to line up, missing it a bit (like your drywall/jams), and having it looked like you missed the mark.

Let the cannonball begin. Tomorrow is my youngest daughter's 2 year birthday. Gotta get back to Indy!
