Flair for ring alarm panel

mifistle · January 9, 2020, 10:25pm

New ring alarm panel left an ugly boarder on unpainted areas. Fired up the laser cutter and burned out a nice boarder. It also functions as a key holder.

It was Simple to do make with Glowforge. Material is eight inch Baltic Birch with 50/50 mix of walnut and provincial stain.

New alarm panel installed. Wasn’t as big as previous panel and showed old paint.

Made a Lloyd inspired boarder that slips under ring panel using existing mounting hardware.

Photo of ring bracket installed on top of new border.

Complete install with keys hung.

Looks really nice, plus always nice to have a place to hang a key!
