Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Wayne,

My approach is to use a 45 degree chamfer bit in a router to cut the miters and then an up spirl bit to remove the appropriate bead. I have tried your approach and I can't get the quality of the joint the way I want it. I will post a picture once I get around to doing it.

OK Kerry. Based on your circle jig I don't think you are using that commercial bead machine. I mill the bead in the stile and rails then miter the bead and remove the area of the bead where the rail will join it on both ends of the stiles with a small dovetail saw. I miter the bead on the rails with...

Rolf,

BillH is me alright. Thanks for the insight into your dyes. I am assuming that you are using TransTint.

Bill

Rolf,

What dyes did you use and how did you mix them.

Rolf,

Beautiful piece of work. What did you use for the finish? I like it.
