Smaller Kitchens

Things you can do with just a table saw. I posted this elsewhere but thought it might be of interest here also.
I made an eight foot piece of cherry crown moulding for a custom bookcase I was building with a few, very simple table saw cuts. I kept a piece of the blank before the final shaping, done with a curved cabinet scraper that I ground to the profile i wanted, for a future guide for sawcut settings.
Only a few hours work......and no other viable option.....dont have a shaper in the shop and not something a router is capable of. Table saws can do a lot of things not commonly known about.

This one is Fusion Nickel.....blueish grey.
Im just glad its not white again.
Ill do the soffit and crown today and the hardware tommorow.
We have about five or six houses left to finish in this subdivision....with over 50 already done.
I need a change of scenery...would be nice to get back to my stomping grounds in Westport.

The soffit and crown take as long as hanging the cabinets.
First there is setting the cleats on top of the cabinets and against the ceiling. Then I cut soffit and crown to rough length and label them.
After that its dozens of trips jumping back and forth from the saw to my bench....making trial cuts until things fit. I never use stepladders for this job......they are clunky...awkward.. and can damage cabinets.
Still cant figure how to post full size pictures...so tried pasting a url this time

Nice contrast with the black pulls.... hardwood going down just as I finished ....and the stairs with stained treads and accents looks nice I think..
I really dont like blind corner cabinets.

simple pair of doors for the built in...all cuts made with my table saw

done except for appliances

Looking into family room from the kitchen.
More dark stained floors being chosen lately instead of natural oak.
You do notice the dust more.

Beautiful work but I am curious as to why you didn't just by the crown from a milling house.
