   Ok Doodabug, let's knock off the false modesty.  Those are dyn-o-mite and you know it as well as anyone. - lol

   Having said that, I'm going to figure out a way to keep SWMBO fron seeing it.  She can think up enough "honey-do's" on her own without any outside help.

   Great job!!

   Thanks

   I don't have to ask for that thus the floor. Or lust on the floor.

   I agree with Frenchy, it should be in FHB - that is exactly the type item and ideas I've always looked for in FHB.

   Now that is a refreshing change!

   Good job.

   So, spill it...how'd ya do it? lay the infill on the existing and rout it out?

   New Flooring and inlay pieces all cut freehand on scrollsaw.

   I experimented with router and inlay set but wasn't happy with it.

   If you look close it's not cut as perfect as a router would have done.

   Thanks

   I can't look close, I am in KY !

   Really, it is great.

   Gene_Davis | Jul 31, 2007 01:22am | #10

   Very nice.

   I saw a floor done somewhere, sometime, in a mag photo sequence, in which the artist did the floor as if it were a swimming pool, with edging, a pool ladder, some rubber duckies, and so forth.

   It fooled the eye so well it would give you serious pause before stepping into the room.

   Maybe it was paint.

   You probably know of him, but if not, go Googling for Silas Kopf.

   VERY very nice!

   Can't believe you don't have cones & tape round those things to mark the NO WALKING zone!!!

   still trying to figure if you glued up with biscuits or....what....the inlays' pieces amongst themselves and then glued it down as the entire insert (each time) or what.  But seems you're not telling!

   The inlay was glued together as a single piece, then I kept it elevated with 1/4" piece of paneling as I fit my flooring around it.

   After the flooring was stapled down, I picked the paneling out and dropped it in.

   Thanks Dallas "The old gent"             Do you make him ask?

   whoa!!! thats looks really good, I have been thinking of doing somthing like that but only in tile, but I can't find any scollsaw blades that will cut tile, does anybody have any idea where I can find some blades,  I'v seen the machines the cut with a round diniomd blade, sort of like a band saw, only on  a smaller scale, but thats out of my price range right now, and again, nice job doodabug

   doodabug | Aug 02, 2007 01:02am | #30

   Thanks, I don't know of blades for what you want but if you post your question on here I am sure somebody does.
