Clamp Dance

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? 😀

The dance of the clamps.

Splines

Today I managed to sneak in a little time to cut and make the splines for the flag box.

Cutting mitres 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.

Resawing the Flag Box

Flag Box for my mom

I really need to have a day of sharpening before I start my next project, but I got my hands on some beautiful curly maple and couldn’t wait to start working on the flag box for my mom’s memorial flag. So I pulled out my kerfing plane and started resawing. Here’s a sneak peak.
