That sounds cool too, can't wait to see what you come up with.

I'm bored to death. Watching glue dry hmmmmmmmmmm. Thats like watching grass die, or bread rise....... LOL
The last time I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, it was another train headed towards me.
While I'm waiting for the glue to dry and since its a beautiful day I'm taking advantage of the weather. I set up my router table to cut some trim. I think I'm gonna need some input as to which trim to use. I will be posting some different cuts of trim here as we go. The first is a simple cove bit cut with 3/16" lip on either side of the cove.
Here are some of my router bits to choose from.
After setting up the cove bit and putting the rest pin in the table I route the board.
Next step is to set up the table saw. I want the rip fence set to 3/4". Since this is way to small to attempt with only my hands I used my gripper. The gripper is adjustable to prevent from hitting the blade.
The end result is a nice trim piece for my unit. This is the first attempt to see what kind of trim looks the best. (Thanks Norm for the lessons on making your own trim)
So that's my first. This is the same as all the cad files show. Next its a roman ogee profile.

Yes I've had a great day and I wanted to do as much as possible with the table saw and router. I have more pics of the different trims.
Roman Ogee is the next set of pics.
Does anyone like one over the other. I can create more from different profiles such as a beveled look (45 degrees), rounded over (opposite of the cove), beaded look (a 1/4" bead at the top of the trim and more. Let me know what you think, like or don't like.

To add to your decision here is the panel cutter for the raised panel door.

Im really favoring the cove bit.

I vote for the cove bit it looks the best to me.
And congrats to your son on a job well done!
And with you to teach him he can only get better.
