DIY Wainscotting and Panels


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi all.....I'm bored without a build to build so I thought you might like some semi-tutorials! Not that I can teach you much but I might get some worthwhile tips from your answers so here goes!

Wainscotting and Wall panels seem to be currently popular so here is how I do mine.

Materials :- 1.5mm. Mount Card (Matt Board) and PVA Woodworkers Glue.

Tools :- Scalpel by Swann Morton (10a size), Mount Board Cutter.......brilliant little tool for 45% angle cuts

Wow!!!!  Thank you do much for sharing this.  I plan on doing more panels in the future so this is great.  

I'll dig up some examples of panels with chamfered edges.........and a decent mount board cutter doesn't break the bank!

Wow is right.  Thank you so much for sharing.  Could you give us the make and model number of the mount board cutter you use?  I am thinking I need to invest in one of these for better angle cuts.

Mount cutter.?? ....not sure if I have one or not.  I think hubs has one.  I will steal it.

Utterly wonderful and fantastic!  Exactly what I needed, when I needed it!  Thank you so much Mike!  I found one of these cutters on Ebay new and have managed to buy it with shipping for NZ$48 instead of the NZ$70 that a local online shop has them for.  YAY!  Of course it'll take a week or so to get here but that's fine.  Now, to go back and oogle those photos again....  :D

Oh, thank you! I was thinking of doing wainscotting panels with mat board, and I have a mat cutter I picked up at a garage sale and never really used. I didn't know it could cut at an angle! Or I hope this one can, I'll have to look and see. Good inspiration!
