diagonal grain direction again.
« on: August 11, 2023, 06:05 PM »
Apparently, the owner of a new gas station visited one of the Duchess stations we did last year, and liked the pattern. So, it gets repeated in the new one, at least partially. The job is being done in two phases and the first one is the same. As far as I know, the second phase might be a different color/pattern, but hasn't been officially approved yet.
This first phase is just a coffee bar, which is mostly cabinets in a straight run. The second is more of a cashiers station, but I haven't seen the drawings for that yet.

These cup dispenser boxes are actually separate 36" units and everyone would be fine with them laminated individually. However, that would leave an ugly (IMHO) vertical seam, cutting through the angled woodgrain.  Angled grain needs angled seams and they totally disappear.
Do you see it?

A clue


The floor looks especially dark in this pic for some reason and so does the laminate. The lighter first pics are more accurate.

Like some kind of dummy, I left out the important part. Those edges were cut with my TS60, using the original blade. It cuts a beautiful straight line.

I normally straighten long edges with a huge 5' x 12' vacuum table CNC machine, using a 1/4" downcutting bit. These smaller joints get the track saw, since it's capable.
