And if you're wondering about the two tone, no, it wasn't meant to be that way. I ran out of the dark grey carpet, so I just used charcoal on the rest. Unfortunately, even the two yards of that weren't enough, so I had to put in a little strip on the bottom. No matter, you can't see it anyway. Beyond that, just a few slips on the sides and it looks good IMO. To those wondering about this technique, no, it is NOT difficult at all. I am the biggest skeptic I know, so take it from me. Thanks 50% to bjfish and the other 50% to James Bang for telling me how to do it, even though I put my own twist on it. "RABBETED" EDGE FTW!

Now i didn't post all this shit for one person to say somethin. How can I make it better (besides buying the right length of carpet and staying within the groove)?

Best kept secret is the terminal cups:

Done!


For my first time trying this technique, I say it went well. Comments/suggestions?

yeah, i can see the cuts in the carpet on the corners. you should be able to streach it aroudn the corner, so there is no cuts seen..

Thanks for the kind words, but suggestions are more than welcome. Constructive ones, that is.

roundover bit in the router + rounded edges on a carpeted box = very smooth and unique... why doesnt anyone do it?
