What is not very obvious in these photos is the most recent work. The strip of molding above the windows is now finished and in place- not screwed down, but held in place by its close fit. This was probably the hardest part we have made. It required about a dozen passes through the shaper and 6 or 7 passes over the table saw at an angle to make the relief curve on the backside for the window shade.
Eric and I had 8 foot long strips of the molding finished and Lou cut them to length. Tomorrow, when Eric remembers to bring back his pin nailer, we will glue the two pieces together.
It is interesting to me that all through this project we have faced complicated tasks. As we work toward them Eric and I talk them over while we are doing simpler jobs. By the time we get to the hard part we pretty well have it figured out and it goes well. The next tough job, at least to me, are the ceiling panels. These are thin veneer sheets, curved into the roof curve, and painted with scroll work. I am confident by the time we get there we will have figured this out as well.
