Custom Mantels Rio Rancho NM

Today I spent 6 hours working on my mantel project and I made some good progress. Today I started by installing a piece of 3/4" stock on top of the 5/4 material that I applied last time. This 3/4" "shelf" is really just a building block to attach the lower piece of moulding and also a piece to attach the upper piece of the mantel face.

Today I spent 6 hours working on my mantel project and I made some good progress. Working with the mouldings is time consuming and it was a long day.

Today I started by installing a piece of 3/4" stock on top of the 5/4 material that I applied last time. This 3/4" "shelf" is really just a building block to attach the lower piece of moulding and also a piece to attach the upper piece of the mantel face. As you can see in the second picture I next applied the lower piece of moulding (WindsorOne WOCM003) just below the "shelf" I face nailed it with finish nails and I also countersunk some screws down from the top of the "shelf".

After I finished with that I started applying the upper face piece which is a piece of 3/4" stock with a small cove taken out of it (WindsorOne WOCM002). I screwed in some blocks on top of the "shelf" and then nailed the face piece to that (see photo below).

Finally I applied the base moulding (WindsorOne WOBM001) around the entire base of the hearth and mantel legs. The next step will be installing the 5/4 x 10 top shelf and the final piece of crown moulding just below that. I also need to put a couple pieces of cove moulding below the lowest moulding and just below the hearth.
