Ron Altier Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I think it is a challenge to make these things and also a surprise when I turn down to a different wood. I can't plan a design I just to go with what I have. I laugh sometimes and sometimes something special happens. Of course there are some that end up in my waste bin too.

lew Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Sweet! I really like the designs that are created by doing right angle glue-ups with thin scraps. Always something unique appears out of the block! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Ron how about giving us some pics of the glue up procedure? You have really stepped up your act. John Morris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Altier Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 glue up procedure I mainly go by color and grain contrast. I match up what I think looks good out of the available pieces. I glue the larger pieces and then square them on on the table saw. I use clamps to hold them to the miter. Too close for my fingers. Then I lay what I have on my table and look at the possible combinations. Then I go back to step one and assemble more. Sometimes I push them aside and do other things and when I return, other ideas pop in. Keeping things straight, Color perception , clean cuts, keeping everything square for good glue ups is the key. The biggest thing of all............you must enjoy what you do. lew, Gerald and p_toad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
