    Default AUGUST 2017 Project of the Month - Splendiferous Shelf Corbels!

    Hello,

    This project features beautifully detailed corbels and includes a simple 0.75" x 6.25" x 19" shelf and mounting rosettes. You can make your own separate shelf instead, if you like. The corbel project as-is can be used with range of shelf sizes up to about 28" long. The corbels and mounting rosettes can be enlarged if desired, for even larger shelf capacity of your choice

    The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required.

    The dimensions of the finished Splendiferous Corbels (including shelf) are about 6.25" D x 7.75" T x 19" L

    Main items you will need:

    1) The Project Files (included):
    • Corbels.mpc
    • Shelf-and-Corners.mpc

    2) Boards with the following dimensions:
    Corbels: 0.75" x 9" x 26"
    Shelf and Corners: 0.75" x 11" x 27"

    NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig. Larger boards are fine.

    3) Drill and countersink bit, screws and inserts for mounting shelf to wall

    4) Sandpaper, glue, clamps, wood stain and/or paint and clear finish

    5) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details. A spindle sander and small belt sander is also recommended to speed up preparation for finishing.

    Apply your choice of finish. Here’s what I used on my Splendiferous Shelf Corbel sample made from Select Pine:
    • Applied Rust-Oleum Ultimate Stain - Carrington
    • Several coats of gloss Krylon Clear Acrylic spray
