Winter Challenge 2024/2025 - Flat Iron Corner Building - Tom Langford.

[ACL1504]

Here is a very good look at the frieze board trim from the top. Nice and neat.

I plan to add corbels to the frieze boards just below the trim.

You can also see the two laminated boards from this angle. There will be a top plate so this detail won't show.



Done for today.

Howdy Tom, nice miters.  The flat iron structure is coming together well.  Have fun, mike

Tom, two good ideas here on cutting out the ceiling and for cutting trim pieces using the walls as a guide.

Nice clean work Tom! That had to be a pain notching all those timbers to accept the floor?

Tom,
It's really nice that you show all of your individual steps with each new addition. Sometimes when doing an article I don't cover everything, such as normal procedures though. It makes for a lengthy build, but you seem to know what you're doing so I won't babble on here. Nice modeling.

Rick,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, much appreciated. Cutting the trim this way removes all doubt about the angle to cut.

Philip,

Thank you. I just marked the braces and then made a little notch test it as I cut the notches.

Rich,

Thanks very much. I enjoy the SBS narration on the builds but I try to keep it short and to the point. I don't like to read a screed when reading others.

Curt,

Thank you Butty, much appreciated. Pam said I should have been a surgeon. Trouble is I cut to many classes at UF.
