 Here's the left-side transition (facing the stage). I
didn't do a great job on this side. You know when you're using the hammer
to try to make two pieces of wood fit together that you've reached the
limit of your carpentry skills!. I eventually had to put a 1"
triangular piece of wood in the lower-right corner to complete the
transition. The color of the wood and the molding pretty much cover it up.
When stained, the fix is basically invisible. |
 |
 Here's the right-side transition. After being pretty
frustrated building the left side transition, my mother-in-law said,
"Why don't you just cut out a paper pattern and get that right, then
cut the wood to match the pattern?" Good point! That's what I did on
the second one-- it was much easier and turned out better. |

Crown molding at left side of doorway. The moldings that
butted into the door frame were the two most challenging pieces of molding
in the project because I had to conform the shape of the molding to the
contour of the doorway. On this side, I chiseled out part of the door
frame to make the molding fit more squarely against the door frame. |
 |
On the right side of the doorway, I didn't do any chiseling
on the door frame. I first cut out a piece of cardboard to copy the
contour from the door frame, then I used that to use the jigsaw to cut out
the the molding as close as possible to the molding. Then I spent about an
hour on the ladder with the Dremel tool shaving the contour on the
molding to conform to the door frame. On balance, I think this side was
easier than the other side. Neither of them look perfect, and from a
distance the overall effect is basically the same either way. |
