Grandpadave52 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Great start. At least it's not boxes or lids... Love the jig saw too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gerald Posted September 16, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) this is to cut the dado in armrests which were ripped. The sides have to be sanded in some areas to get a better glue joint. A full tight joint maynot be possible with this curve This is what the joint looks like. A dado is cut in what was the top rail on the pew to fit it onto the top and bottom of the plaque.

Gerald Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Lew I think they are called Magtight . They are made in plastic now. Bought a pair at a WW show in KC over 30 years ago. I love them. The guy who demoed them would have one on fence and one on the saw and in mid cut leave the saw running and walk around to the back and pull the piece thru the cut.

Popular Post Gerald Posted September 17, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 this is the joint on the top trim, which is the hardest one to get a fit on as the outward slope of the sides make trial and error the norm. Bottom trim is more of an easy fit because the angle is not compound. This jig makes the cross easy to place. Frame for 8 x 10 needs rabbit for photo. Will be attached with pin nails since it is going on a finished area. Then the glue up with plenty clamps. This is what they will look like with white acrylic in cross and some lacquer.
