" We're working on a very elaborate front. Front hall closet system. It if you can call up that it goes the length of this festival festival which is about twenty feet right yet. And that all of the the doors that to see -- race here are. Essentially an art project it's almost like a mural that was fine art collaborating with the architect and Shire and that this has all been accomplished in Formica plastic laminate. The doors that are here which are just about sixty who hired six feet. -- blower doors and then there's a whole upper section -- always roof -- these are the ones for the upper section. But in order to get this entire -- mural of curves in different colors. Not to mention the fact that the doors are not all. Vertical they're they're kind of track as sort of -- at some of the -- that creates the rhythm hoping to very complex. Project for the woodwork incidents justice and what have we done to get this far along how to get started this well we start with a stock. -- Which then we re cut with. It was called re re -- one side produce attractive little -- OK in order to get away -- perfectly plum edges of the stock door. -- remove an existing rail to make it cut into the door and then but it I want you to new rail of them. And all of north of the laminated on the back. And aside because when you emanating doors you have to laminate both sides otherwise had normal warm even though it's amazing next door and all of them isn't it so the backside as white plastic laminate right that's black. On the edges endings and then the face of it is this pattern. And how many different colors yeah. There are about seven different colors well at various different bases and yellow off white and consummate talent in that corner. Yes. I had transferred all of these -- forms onto these individual doors felt that was done. At first I get a layout for Brian where he knows exactly on each door panel where curve starts where ends. And then I plotted to. -- this and we plotted full scale. -- program. Onto sheets each curve which is numbers so Brian knows what goes where. Then he's taking. That curve and glowing. To abuse and -- want making a template and then just actually cutting and then using that temp plate he's going to cut the plastic laminate. I'm through its current pilots what you do that right. This is something that I can't envision. Anyone actually. Doing without computers is the designs. It would have been extremely difficult to do without that. Now -- are glued applaud. That peace will want I was gonna go ahead -- about an eighth of an -- awful. -- But clipped us and help -- individual right to get through them. Seen. -- case and now the template it's used to actually. Why it never hurts the Formica. And whether we look at one of the doors is already done -- can't just cut out one at a time and fit them together you have to overlap the two. And then make the cut. How do you make the cut great. Its maintenance company bit is -- anything here actual cut through won't come in his column right here -- against the template. The home in his position. And on this -- while we'll. Contact cement let it sit for about twenty minutes but it's much intact."
" So we can also use the -- slip sheet. And we've already put down one side and now the yellow site come on. And has to be fitted. Precisely. And it's a slip sheet because you don't use dollar we got the context event on the door and on the back of -- And if the context of this. Makes. You know they -- once -- touches on forgive me if there's no more movement. Roller it. Robert yeah. Raise it up litter this place -- more doors and we've got that."
" Now all of these Stewart get hung onto a partitioning system right correct yes they do well we'll see it all up together a couple of weeks. It."
