Enough is enough
When is enough enough.
I’ve been enjoying a little creative zone time during the holidays.
And am working on little fun piece that my lovely wife has commissioned me to do.
We have some Huon pine veneer on a beautiful piece of Mdf.
I then made up some Red-gum edging at around 12 mm square, this come from an old fence post,
This was then mitred an attached with glue,an we’re looking good,
Next was time to spend some stored electrons in the trim router, a little edging work but it also revealed one mitre was a little gapey,
So a quick shot of PVA in the offending mitre then some red gum dust pushed in,all is well.
And know one will ever know, next I was instructed to get my trusty trim router out, again make a nice little trench about 2 /2.5 mm wide an about 1 mm deep. accomodating the banding lovely wife had chosen,
That was cut with accompanying mitres glued in place looking sexy.
No problem all sorted out, and I’m now thinking I be selling fine pieces of art to the Queen soon when she starts re decorating after the grand kids move out[emoji41].
So on to some more recycled Redgum cut down to 10 mm thick 30 mm wide I think,
A little round over cut into little triangle things glued into little squares,
And placed at each corner,still looking good I’m happy.
This evening I sanded ,scraped, polished, singing my happy tune applying some Mat wipe on poly, I’m then sitting back going wow, followed by o S.....an a few other expletives that are now regularly used on a Island nation too describe there leader.[emoji6]
Yep ,my big head made a flossy, for those that haven’t noticed my slight technical error,top right hand corner the banding pattern.
It’s staying that way unless one of you clever people can convince me of fix that, i can execute under 4 minute 37 seconds.
Such is life.

Matt, leave it alone, it's hand made, not cnc/computer made soulless "perfection"!

Cut it off. Mark a shark bite around the top right corner, band saw it off. Then you can tell people that "it was the board or my arm!!!"

There is no such thing as an error, only features.

I can’t spot any errors, but making the banding slightly different at one corner so you can tell which way round you’re holding it is a clever idea.
Cheers, Glen

When the queen pops in to buy it you just put the price sticker over that corner
It's still a nice piece Matt. Will it be on permanent display or trotted out for special occasions?Cheers, Bob the labrat

You’ll be the only one to notice the difference. And anyone else you’ve told about it, and I’m not telling anyone.

Beautiful job Matt. And I certainly didn't even notice anything with the banding until you pointed it out. It's a feature!

Matt
What did you do?
A fix?
Place a temporary board on the offending edge to make a continuous line to guide the router fence and use the same router bit you originally used to remove the band. There will be a small amount of chisel work right at the corners. Then, assuming you still have the material, replace the band.
4 minutes 36 seconds by my count.
