Mikejpt Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 This is off the wall. But looking for a source for inlay moulding. I'm restoring an old chest of drawers and vanity. a good part of the moulding is gone. small stuff, 1/4 in wide and 1/8 in thick. Pics are a little fuzzy (ok, a lot) but you get the idea. My fingers are too fat to try to make myself. ThanksMike Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Actually, that doesn't look too difficult to make. Use a wide piece of stock that's 1/4 thick. Run it on edge thru the router table to get the shape you need then, cut it to final thickness on the table saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombarde16 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Nonsense. Making it is the easy part. (Besides, if your fingers are too big to make it, you're not going to be able to miter it and get it in place. Profiles this tiny are the domain of the scratch stock. Mill a board a 1/4" thick, scratch the two beads on an edge and rip it off with a table saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdie Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I was going to tell you to make it on a bigger board and rip it off with a saw but now I won't because it's already been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikejpt Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Well, I tried that, using a marking gauge to start the middle cut of the moulding. The profile is small enough i could sand off the edges and i t would be close. Couldn't get the "V" deep or wide enough. Don't have a router bit to cut the bead. I can handle the saw cuts from larger stock etc. Was hoping to find a web source to purchase. I'll need apox 35 feet of stock. I don't mind a slightly different look, but thats a lot of stock to have all correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Mosher Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Constantines has it but like said above making it yourself is the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
