Build arches and domes with this solid wood product
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
I found this product while searching for an easy way to add an archway between my dining room and living room. I now see how a product like this would be worth the money. I spent a full day drawing the archway on plywood, cutting it out, building up the framing and then cutting the curve out of drywall. Then after all of that I ended up putting about 15 coats of joint compound (literally) in order to smooth out all of the imperfections that were showing up due to minor mistakes when making my archway frame. I don't know exactly how much this product costs but I am sure I could have justified the cost to both myself and my wife after we spent weeks staring at a halfway finished arch in the main part of our house. The company's web site has a handful of interesting videos on installation as well as a pretty nice image gallery of different applications. http://www.arch-rite.com/
