Here is the shelf that will be in the corner above the whirlpool. Below, I show the lines this curved shelf will look like...
The boards were not long enough for the backsplashes, so I had to splice two boards end to end. All these splices were done using a buscuit joiner.
This is the makeshift clamp I used to force these boards together since I didn't have an 8 foot bar clamp! I took a 10 foot 2x6, and attached a block at one end, and then cut two blocks with 30 degree edges, and attached one of them, and then clamped down the other so that it would shift toward the board as it is clamped. Worked great, and now I can take it apart and reuse the 2x6's...
Hopefully, you can make out the faint curves. There are two of them across the center, but I'm going to use the one toward the top instead of the bottom. If you can't see the lines, wait a day, and I'll have a picture of the cut shelf :) I took it over to Bontrigger's today so they can cut it on their bandsaw, and they also offered to sand it for me since they have all the tools right in the workshop...
Here are two pictures of the backsplashes cut and routed. The routing ends before the shelf will begin so the shelf will be setting on the flat. The two decking boards along the back walls are both actually attached in place -- glued using buscuits. The front pieces are partially routed, but I'll finish that when they are attached in place. I'll have to stain the decking boards in place, but I'll stain the backsplashes in the garage so they won't run... Once again, the whirlpool is still setting up about 2 to 3 inches above the decking until I get the stain and glazing done.
