No. Like I said, I'm a novice at this so the easier the better. I don't want it to look like I did it myself. ;-) RE: Trimming kitchen island pedestal - joe1086 - 11-13-2019 Well the good thing is that for anyone to really see it they'll be far enough away not to notice any defects. RE: Trimming kitchen island pedestal - rlnguy - 11-13-2019 I've bent 1/8" hardboard (masonite), around a 10" diameter disc, just using a little heat from a heat gun. You could wrap this, with one seam, where the ends meet. This large, probably would not need any heat, just a strap clamp, or ratchet strap around it to hold it, while glue sets. Put the seam, toward the counter, and it would be invisible, unless you're crawling around under it. my 2 cents, anyway.

Just caulk the seam flush and paint away. RE: Trimming kitchen island pedestal - Roly - 11-14-2019 (11-13-2019, 08:47 AM)pfhlad0 Wrote: Thanks so much. I saw that yesterday, but unfortunately it's only 48 inches long. I need 56 to wrap all the way around and I was hoping not to have a seam. I did a quick google search and couldn't find it in a longer length. Do you know anyone who carries longer than 48 inches? If you go to a hardwood supplier that services cabinet makers they have two types of bendy ply, one will bend across the 4' width and another type that bend across the 8' length. You would have to buy a full sheet of it. You could also cut a series of closely spaced kerfs across the back of a piece of plywood to bend it.

Go on line. You can get this stuff in 4' x 8' sheets if you want. Home Depot lists it but it is probably a special order. Some small brads + glue and ratcheting cargo straps can be used to locate and clamp. Use paintable caulk for the seam and Spackle for the nail holes. I find that seams do not Spackle well, but do take paintable caulk. This Google search revealed many sources, plus plywood and redwood bending boards as well as the mdf bendy board. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=bendy+board+for+sales RE: Trimming kitchen island pedestal - Roly - 11-14-2019 (11-14-2019, 08:29 AM)Cooler Wrote: Go on line.

Remember to check which way it bends normally the sheets marked 4x8x4 will wrap a post. the sheets marked 8x4x8 will wrap a barrel. If ordering make sure it is what you want. Roly RE: Trimming kitchen island pedestal - Cooler - 11-14-2019 An alternative is to make a hexagon or octagon shape just large enough to surround the gap and wide enough to hide it. Attach to the underside of the counter and paint. It will be just 8 identical pieces glued together to make the surround. To make the octagon, cut the pieces to length with an angle cut of 22.5 degrees on both ends. Lay the pieces on a flat surface with the longer side up and tape the edges tightly together where they meet. Turn the entire thing over and paint all but two of the joints with Woodworkers III and the roll it up into an octagon and tape the remaining edges together and allow the glue to dry. Remove the tape and you should end up a right and left half. Attach the two halves together as you mount it under the countertop. Then spackle and paint. RE: Trimming kitchen island pedestal - fredhargis - 11-14-2019 Have you thought about how you would fasten it? Glue might work at the top piece of plywood, but I'm not siure I'd trust it on the bottom painted piece (unless you remove the paint). You might want to use some brads (and glue) to keep it in place. |
