Actually, I have only cut the doors to size and sanded/prepped them. I spent some time trying to figure out how I can make these bulky posts more elegant.
Due to constraints of the room, electrical outlets, size of the bed, and dimensions of the door panels, I had to cut the five panel doors down to four panel doors. In order to make up the lost dimension in length, I had to use some rather bulky posts. The cheapest S4S stuff I could find locally was some cedar at about $14 per piece (4x4's). Unfortunately, they look like posts for someones backyard deck.
I'm trying to figure out what I can accomplish with a router. I'll probably soften the edges with a "stop"-style profile using a 45-degree angle bit, then sort of give a "notching" detail at the top to give the top some distinction. Forgive me, fine woodworking. for not using the appropriate terminologies, I promise to clean up my syntax before I publish in your next issue.
Current concept:
![]() |
I will cap with rosette |
![]() |
Another angle |
Anyway, today was another long day, but this what I had time to squeeze in this evening. (I even got up this morning to get a coat of paint on some tape damage I did this weekend!!) When its time to do demolition on the next room in this house, I will leave my sledge in the toolbox. Instead, I will simply bring the blue tape. The most lethal weapon in my arsenal!!
