NEw Mini-Bartop Touchscreen project
TalkingBull:
Well I got a little anxious and before heading out to work, I decided to do the bezel. Of course, I screwed it up. My jigsaw blade must have bent while I was cutting out the rectangle and now it is all wobbly looking. Is there a method to fix something like this or do I need to start this piece over? Also, what is the best way to get a beveled edge on this thing? I am thinking a 45 degree outward angle so the monitor isn't all boxed in. Is there a way to do this with a router? I am inexperienced so tips help!
Attached are the pics from the Bezel mishap.

you can run a router with a straight edge around it.
i'm doing a bartop now with a touchscreen. i'm going to make the frame as you would a cabinet door, with rails and stiles. it can be done with one piece but it will be easier this way.
the routed part is complex. i'd like to hear how others have done it.

Im asumnig you are talking about the edge on the outside part of the bezel, around the screen. I would just use a round over bit for a smooth round edge.

Today I spent a good 4 or 5 hours finishing up the cab. I messed up a good portion of it and am hoing that the wood filler I smeared all over it will redeem me in the end! The biggest thing I screwed up was the bezel (Gig surprise) and I ended up doing that with a chisel. Anyways, here are some pix from the work I did.
