Fabric Cutting

The shop was closed the the holiday today, so I took the opportunity to use the massive granite tables used for assembly to cut my fabric.

 

I don’t know how I would have been able to do this without such a large surface.  The fabric is cut into two pieces per cabinet.  One piece will start at the bottom of one side, go up the side, over the top, and down the other.  The second piece will go on the back.  I have finally figured out how I will handle the seams.  I’ll explain that in a later post.

Done!

Here’s another shot of the fabric.

Here is a shot of the stone I will be using to cut the baffles.  That job is actually starting to appear on the horizon.

For the heck of it, here is a shot of part of the shop.  This is one of the assembly areas for our hard-surface projects (stone, metal, anything that needs abrasive garnet dust added to the water stream for cutting).

And also for the heck of it, this is a floor medallion being dry-fit for subassembly.  Pieces like this are assembled in-house into sub-assemblies for safer transport.  And because stone thickness varies, they are assembled top-down on a flat surface.
