Product Information

Rounding wood edges not only add to the safety but also adds a touch of class and elegance to wood. From shelving to furniture and more, rounded edges provide the proper appearance and safety that makes wood pieces complete. Present your decorative items, photographs, vases and books on any wall with our modern and minimalist range of floating shelves. Floating Shelves For Your Home & Business The main advantage of a chisel is that it will take more material away compared to sandpaper, files, or rasps. The downside is that all it takes is one mistake to ruin a potential rounded corner. You will need some skill and experience in using the chisel correctly. Practically no planning is necessary for a single shelf — the answer is anywhere there is enough good wall. You will need to sharpen the blade and practice on a scrap piece of wood to get the right technique. Once you feel confident, then you can use the spokeshave to take away a considerable amount of material in a short time.

To use the rotary tool correctly, draw out the curve using a template. Then use sweeping motions with the rotary tool to remove the sharp corner first. Now follow the line you have drawn until you get close enough to finish the curve using sandpaper. 7. Power Sanders Walls are rarely perfect and often it is only when installation starts that the extent of any irregularity or “bend” becomes apparent — especially for longer shelves. The router is a precision cutting tool designed to create curves in materials such as wood. This makes it the perfect choice for rounding corners. You simply draw the rounded edge you prefer using a pencil, then follow the drawing around with the router.From an ease of installation point of view, there is no need to be very precise about this, because during installation our bookend wire supports are designed to ‘self-adjust’ to whatever the final gap is between the shelves (subject to maximum gap 450mm approx). Pre planning should take account of the approximate gaps you want between the shelves (subject max 450mm approx ) and remember to allow sufficient space above the envisaged top shelf for coving/ceiling etc — and below the envisaged bottom shelf for any furniture.

However, power tools can be aggressive, and if you are not careful, you will remove too much material from the corners. For this reason, I prefer to use a random orbital sander over a belt sander since the RAS is less aggressive and offers better control. 8. Angle Grinder & Flap Discs

Floating Shelves For Your Home & Business

Remedy: as per instructions, just fill all gaps with Decorator’s Caulk / Flexible Filler once the shelves are fully installed Like the rasp method, you must do sanding to finish the round edges. Once you have the general shape using the spokeshave, you can switch to using sandpaper to finish the corner. You can think of the spokeshave as the tool to take away most of the material, then refine what is left by using fine-grain sandpaper. 4. Chisels It should become apparent early in the installation if the bend and resulting gap is likely to be larger than approx 3mm. Floating shelves are a simple and effective storage solution that gives your home or office a contemporary feel. They are of simple design, with all of the hardware used to fix the floating shelf to the wall discreetly hidden away.
