It's been a number of months since I've made a post. For a good deal of that time Lil' Queeny hasn't been worked on. But there have been quite a number of projects and other events occurring, as well as reorganizing my shop and even here recently, conducting quite a lot of work on Lil' Queeny.
Today I restart the posts, although I seriously doubt they'll become a daily routine like they were in the past. Even so, there are things to let you in on.
While reorganizing the shop, I decided to finally do something with the stack of exterior vinyl house siding I purchased to make the interior outside-corner trim pieces (color and vinyl to match the original interior trim). You may recall a post way back ago that described those intentions.
Today I'll show how I cut out what I needed and to prep the rest for discard, or for some other use.
Here's a picture of one of the four locations with original outside corner that was warped, discolored or otherwise damaged...
And here is the new replacement piece I cut from the house siding...
I still need to install the pieces, which I plan to do with the same black screw and brass upholstery washer combo as used elsewhere in the camper.
The need is to cover about 1" on the one surface and as little as 1/8" plus on the other. I think I cut the trim to about 1.25" by 1/4". Here's how I did it.
I starting with a small-tooth finish blade on the table saw, and a slow feed to avoid chipping. Then I cut to length and ripped the runs.
Here is a close profile...
Here's the scrap. I saved most of it in case I find some other use for it.
And here are my pieces for the four interior locations, plus some extra.
