Building A MASSIVE Deck Part 6 - Folding Deck Boards And PVC Trim
What happens here
A custom-made jig is used to precisely route the composite deck boards. The jig ensures consistent depth and width for the router pass, creating a groove along the board. This groove is crucial for the subsequent heat-bending process, allowing the board to fold cleanly without cracking. The router is set to cut through most of the board's thickness, leaving a thin, flexible layer intact.
Goal: A custom jig guides a router to create precise grooves in composite boards, preparing them for bending into waterfall step components.
