Question
Forum Responses
From contributor W: When we make this type of opening we try to have the door opening framed square at the jobsite taller than the door opening. We then provide the framing that makes the opening round. We attach our jamb to our radiused framing. Then install the jamb and framing prior to wall finishes. From contributor O: The way I do them (I'm a moulder operator by trade but I do this too) is to resaw my lumber down to 1/4" and run it through a wide belt (both sides) down to 3/16". I have metal L brackets that I screw into a piece of MDF with my arch laid out. Then it's simple lamination until you get your thickness (with a stop, it's 1.25" - I run it through my M&M moulder to cut the plows). Then it's a matter of clamping the laminated stock down to the L brackets and letting it sit. A little trimming on the tablesaw (careful...), make the plow, do a little angle work to connect the legs, and you've got yourself an arched jam.
