The trim for the posts is cut with this router bit. The trim on the top of the post is 8" tall and the trim on the bottom is 6".
The center of each post has a pressure treated 4x4" beam in the center that has the water line for a mister, a 12 volt line for the low voltage light, and a 110 volt wire for the outlet that will be on the top. The hole in the post is for the eye bolt that will hold the sail in place.
This is the cedar that will wrap around the center post.
The pieces of cedar are glued together and reinforced with biscuits. This machine is a biscuit cutter that will make the half round cut in each piece of wood.
This is the biscuit in one side of the wood. Glue will be applied to the biscuit and the wood that is joined. This makes for a very strong joint.
The fluting for the posts is cut into this piece of wood. I am using a 1/2 inch core bit and a jig that wil cut the flutes in a straight line.
