My father came up with this idea to cover a continuous breach in plasterboard wall and ceiling, at a friend's property. It was decided that the beams should have 45 #degree joins, so I constructed a #jig for the #table #saw.


Wooden planks clamped on a table saw in an outdoor workspace. Tools and bricks visible in the background against a brick wall and glass door.

This jig allows for #edge #cutting the 45 degree joins with ease. After running down each #timber in the machine, I joined them with glue and brad nails to form three #box #sections, open at one side.

We then transported the box sections to #site and #installed them. After filling, prepping, and staining the beams we moved on to decorate the rest of the room.










Room under renovation with wooden frame, tools on the floor, and patterned wallpaper applied to a section of the wall.
Ceiling prepared for decoration. Dim bulb hanging, wooden beam visible. White radiator and window in beige room.






Wooden-framed alcove with grey damask wallpaper. Unfinished floor, beige walls, and a power outlet are visible. Calm, neutral setting.
