| Mouldings for kitchen. How I did it (doing it) Here is the fax I got from the architect. |
I edited the fax image
with Paint Shop Pro. First, I rotated the image 1.5 degrees to square it up. Next, I made a scale copy and printed out on heavy card stock. Then, I cut it out with a sharp knife. This is being transferred to my metal template. The computer saved me about 4 hours. |

| Veneer basecoat is troweled on. | Metal corner bead is
bent
for arch
and basecoat scratched on. This is a special corner bead made for arches. I plan to do the arch in the kitchen without a corner bead at all. Please check back to see how. |
