  1. How to go about bending and gluing curved headboard

    Hey guys,

    I am in the process of building a curved headboard for a bed frame. The thickness is roughly going to be between 1.5" - 2". I attached a pic to get an idea.

    Since I don't think I'll...

    Yeah I probably am mixing up the terms, I'm not sure of the specific product I used, it was from a plastics distributor and I'm still trying to find the name of it. I think it was PVC and not...

    I would agree about the Marine varnish for boats being the most durable. I never worked with them on regular projects, I imagine they are more costly and difficult to source.

    My whole idea was to...

    No Keith, It is I on the opposite end of the Spectrum. Signs made out of PVC/Plastic materials will definitely last longer and are probably the standard.

    Hey Paul,

    Thanks for the reply and suggestions. Cedar of course does seem like a good choice because of it's properties. I've seen many signs on google images made out of cedar but they were...
  6. Making outdoor sign - Colored wood options. Is there a paint that holds up well?

    Hi,

    I am making a sign for a business. The owner is a friend of mine and I made her own years ago out of pre-colored plastic sheet material. (The specific name escapes me now). I want to make her...

    Lucky I read that. I'm going to scratch the sanding idea then. Would be better to replace the sandpaper with a light block plane I suppose. Or just have the edge's already jointed from the...
  8. That's a great idea. Thank you. And I'm...

    That's a great idea. Thank you.




    And I'm probably going to get that glue line rip blade by Freud as well. I wonder if they make them for circular saws too?
  9. Do you mean you just rip each side of the board...

    Do you mean you just rip each side of the board and it leaves a good finish? That's not a bad idea, espceially for those without a good jointer.
  10. I see, I see. This all makes more sense. I'll...

    I see, I see.

    This all makes more sense. I'll just lightly smooth the table saw rip edge with a sanding block before mating the edges. Thank you both for the input. Love this site.
  11. Rough or smooth edges when edge gluing boards?

    Hey guys,

    This seems like a minor detail that I forgot which is best. I'll be jointing the edges of some 5'' wide boards together. One edge will be jointed and the other would be a straight line...
  12. Ok

    Alright thanks alot guys for all your help. I'm just going to get a small sample and work on it to see what I'm in for before I start the project.

    And yes, I planned on using a hand held router...
  13. Oh yeah

    Yeah I sensed the edges would definitely need cleaned up after routing. And flame polishing does make the best sense. I guess I could do that with a torch and run it lightly over the edges, but that...
  14. Questions on working Acrylics/Plastic etc.

    Hi guys I was scouring these forums for all the info I can get on sign making and what not.

    I got an awesome design for a sign I'm about to do for a store. I found a supplier locally who sells...
