Northgate Baseboard construction Pictures

Hi and thanks for tuning in again!

 

These pics and designs have been taken/drawn over a few months (said it would be slow).

This is the design of the boards and how they will all connect up:

As you can see there will be 6 boards, the scenic side will be 8' by 18" with the run round and fiddle yard a bit bigger. I have built just the 2 scenic boards so far and will not build the rest until I have figured out where to store all the boards.

First few cuts, using a slotting blade called a stacked dado in my table saw to rip out an exact 9mm half depth slot for the boards to slot together for maximum strength. You can do this with a router and a 9mm cutter as well.

Then painted them and topped with B&Q cork tiles

Did a bit more painting on the backscene (a bit early but I had some match pots and fancied a go.

Real nice work.

 

Interested to know where you found a tablesaw that would take a stacked dado though. I've had no luck at all.

Hi

 

I got mine from Here up in Manchester, They can supply the stacked dado as well. Good solid saws based on a Delta Contractor saw design.

 

HTH

 

Cheers
