The ultimate restoration tool
Cuts labor to 1/4 - 1/3 of conventional time
This new tool gives architectural restorers working on historic homes
or preservation contracts the ability to easily duplicate detailed
carvings, ornamentation, and decorative moldings. This unit is a
heavy-duty, commercial tool with a Porter-Cable router, but despite
its ruggedness, the balance and design leaves the user with fine
control over the cutting head. Final duplicated pieces only
require light sanding and they are ready for finish or paint.
Results then appear hand-carved and authentic in much less than
half of the time.
Contractors find that the cost of the device is recovered in the first
contract due to the time and money saved making each carving.
The real benefit of the Gemini is seen by
contractors faced with restoring or recreating an ornate detail that is
damaged. The broken or damaged original can be mended and patched
with any of a variety of very workable compounds, and then recreated
directly into hardwood (cherry, maple, oak, etc). Eliminate time-consuming hand-carving and
hand-crafting of detailed pieces.
Whether you are restoring a Queen Anne or gingerbread Victorian home, or a Greek Revival historic house, you can be confident that with the Gemini carver in your shop you can
economically restore interior or exterior wood carvings to the complete satisfaction of the
homeowner.
