Bubblegum Bandit May 22, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member May 22, 2005 Wow, that ALL looks awesome!!! I'm really liking the bathtub and that ceiling. Is that prefab moulding in the ceiling or do you cut your own? Was looking again and were those cans in those spots for a reason? Probably wasn't your choice where to put the lights but the engineer in me thinks the architect could have centered them or something, they throw off that beautiful ceiling.

Clueless May 22, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni May 22, 2005 Yeah, the electricians put them there, i dont know why, but the builder said go for it, so I had to build around it. Basically, its just beadboard paneling, with 1x4 poplar, and 3/4 inch cove moulding, ripped to 5/8 to show a slight reveal. And on the tub deck, again, the same beadboard, with a 1x4 ripped for the right overhang, and put a bullnose edge on it, and I think I just used some leftover moulding for under the bullnosing, but I forget and the pic isnt clear, lol Thanks for post, I will have more soon, I just did a house with 55 feet of Handrailing that turned out nice, when I go back, I will get pics. I also have pics of another rail system I did where I built the newel posts and everything, but those are on film and i'll have to scan them in.

Rashad May 24, 2005 Share Rashad Member May 24, 2005 Is that just a hobby? If so, your really good at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless May 24, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni May 24, 2005 Im a finish carpenter, thats what I do everyday. Most of it isnt worth pictures, I only take pics when we do nice custom homes, alot of our work is production cookie cutter homes, and alot of commercial stuff, like Quiznos restaurants, stuff like that. Thanks for the compliments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whudats May 24, 2005 Share whudats Member May 24, 2005 Yeah, nice work Clue. That's some good looking stuff. It seems like you really enjoy your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless June 1, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni June 1, 2005 (edited) This is a handrail i did recently. Edited September 29, 2005 by Clueless .gc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit June 1, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member June 1, 2005 NOICE!!! I bet that cost the owners a pretty penny. Is that all oak? Did you wrap the columns too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless June 2, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni June 2, 2005 Thanks man, yeah, I built the columns out of 1x10 poplar stock, mitered together and trimmed out. The rail is all poplar, and that was expensive enough, lol, oak woulda killed them i think. Actually, i trimmed the whole house, but the rest of it is just standard stuff, not really exciting pics.

Bush June 2, 2005 Share Bush Member June 2, 2005 (edited) Very nice work... Quick question?? While you were doing that work were you thinking about how you could position your self in the corner to do some quick work on the T's coming down the stairs? Very nice work.. If you lived closer I would hire you to do some finishing touches on the house I just bought.. Edited June 2, 2005 by BushMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whudats June 2, 2005 Share whudats Member June 2, 2005 Very cool, Clueless - nice work. I like the columns too - is that one of the quicker/easier jobs when finishing a house? I've never done anything like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless June 2, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni June 2, 2005 Actually whudats, handrails like that are one of the more specialized jobs, not everyone can do them, well, correctly at least. That one took me about 2 days to complete. Thanks for the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whudats June 3, 2005 Share whudats Member June 3, 2005 No, clue, I meant the pillars. Those look easier than most of the other things you have shown us. The pillars are what I was asking about. The handrails are gorgeous. Good pics of them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit June 3, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member June 3, 2005 The tricking thing about those pillars are the miter cuts on each side of a very long board. Getting them to match takes very straight boards and quite a bit of time. I wouldn't call it "easy" but your implication that they are easier than the hand rail would probably be correct.

Clueless June 3, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni June 3, 2005 Yeah, they arent too bad, although i bit tougher by yourself, luckily, that day I had a helper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whudats June 4, 2005 Share whudats Member June 4, 2005 Coolio. Thanks! I like to see the pics - I don't create much with my hands. Everything I do is non-craftsmanship work. I evaluate and do process improvement/quality related stuff, but I appreciate things like this even more because I can't do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueless July 3, 2005 Author Share Clueless GC Alumni July 3, 2005 (edited) Okay, heres some pics of a rail i did about 3 years ago, this one was fun because i built all of it from scratch, posts, rail, the whole shot started from a pile of dimensional lumber. Then after that, i threw up a few pics of some Harley paint jobs i've done. Edited September 29, 2005 by Clueless .gc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
