This is the router jig I used to cut out the 3/4" MDF parts for my jigs.
I have my jigs glued and screwed. Now I need to cut out my slats for clamping.
I have eight 5" rails to cut out for my four panels. They are ripped from 13/16" and sanded to 3/16".
Here''''''''s one of the panels in the clamping jig. I used packing wrap to keep the parts from sticking to the jig. It worked great!
I made this jig to slide the raised panels over the shaper knife.
All ready for sanding.
I made these 5" biscuits to help strengthen the joint where the panels go together.
I''''''''m not totally satisfied with the clamping process here, but it got the job done.
You can see the boning on the back. I used this during the panel clamping process and screwed it to all the panels to keep it rigid in transport.
Ta Da! I''''ll try to get some photos after it goes to our finishing dept.
Unfinshed and with the two extensions on the radius, here you can see ruffly how the island is going to fit together.
My sister-in-law (wonder-woman) runs the finishing department at the shop. Here she is applying the tinted sealer after the radius back has been stained black. After sealing, she will distress and apply a top coat.
On the job site and ready to be screwed to the floor. Finally out of my hands...
