Flag box is done and ready for shipping to my mom for Christmas. My dad’s memorial flag arrived and after a few attempts we got it folded and fit into the box.
Hope she likes it!
I picked up the glass for my flag box (went to the local u-frame-it store), fit it into the box and cleaned up the face frame. Then I ran into a serious work impediment when I went to cut the backer board …
It’s in the high 20’s and apparently outside pussy cat has decided inside is a good place to be.
I got the face frame glued on .. with a few clamps. Don’t know why, but the picture made me think of a ballet. You never have enough clamps, right? 😀
Today I managed to sneak in a little time to cut and make the splines for the flag box.
I love using my Miller Falls mitre box along with my Tico Shooting Board. Both make cutting miters fairly straight forward. I milled down my curly maple to 1/2 inch and the interior poplar to 1/4″, then cut mitres all around.
Hope my mom likes the box when its all done.
