Just a small amount of woodworking. Maire has had a print laying around for years waiting for me to frame it. So, I finally did. Using some walnut that was in my scrap bin I made a small frame, ordered the mat on-line, and got some glass cut at Lowes (a story told in another post). Anyway, she was happy though I though maybe I should have used a lighter color wood. The pics show the profile I cut. One of the things I like about frames is using the router table, probably my favorite tool to use in the shop. The second shows the frame in the web clamp, something that hasn't been sued in quite a while...it's also been a while since I've made any frames. Then the completed print. BTW, I used a place called Matboard and more for the mat, and they really do a nice job. I usually rail at the cost of shipping ($10 in this case) and here they really earn their keep. The packaging job they did was truly great and done to protect the fragile matboard from being damaged. If you need one, I highly recommend them.

As usual the projects piled up right before Xmas and I didn’t get to a couple of turnings for presents. This is a pie stand. I ordered the glass rounds a long time ago and keep a few around the shop for making quick presents. If I have the blank glued up I will sometimes turn them while visitors are here. I have found visitors love to watch the turning process and these only take about an hour start to finish so they are perfect. They also use up the small leftovers of wood. This one is African mahogany scraps. The glass I get on the internet. They need to be tempered but that’s about the only requirement. The non beveled 14” are only a few dollars each. The beveled I use for special friends and run about $45. This one is for my neighbor. Paul

Hi all I am building a curio cabinet for my daughter and the design has a rabet that the class sits in then a keeper to keep it in place. But i am thinking I should use some felt or silicone or sealant to keep them rattle free and not get broken. What are your thoughts. For a picture think of a wood top with a glass insert. Then 2 glass shelves. Then 2 doors with glass panels. Then 2 side that have glass panels. If i use the felt it may get too thick. I need advise please.

I am going to build the Wood Magazine issue 259 Display case. The glass shelves I would like to radius and polish the edges. Is that possible in the shop or would have a glass shop do this? Also in my humble opinion that finish was terrible if you invest in white oak you need to color it to highlight the grain. What do you think?

Its hard to stay up with her when she is feeling good.! 60-40 solder when we moved here in 99 was 3.95 each if you bought 12 rolls at a time. Now its 18.95 but don't think she has gone up in her charges near that much. I'm using used 2x4"s for the bases that came from my cocatiel bird house. This one is going to Houston.

cherry corner cabinet -
Now I want to draw out something small to carve around the edges or not? Got to keep it in prospective... what ever that means. This is new and different to me so the brain feelers are out there? Fred, a regular scroll saw can't do this so the reason for the cnc in front of it.

Trophy Cabinet
Gene Howe posted a gallery image in Small Crafts, Boxes, Picture Frames, and Lighting
From the album: Gene's Stuff
Solid oak trophy cabinet. Sliding glass doors and purchased glass door hardware. 48" wide. 36" high 9" deep. one coat of Watco Light Walnut and four coats of home made wipe on poly. -
Commissioned trophy case. 32"wide, 30 1/2" high 11" deep Adjustable oak shelving Sliding glass doors. Red oak carcass with red oak ply back. Finish is 1 coat of 50/50 BLO & poly and two coats of 80% poly and 20% BLO followed by Paste wax. This is one heavy box, and with the 1/4" thick glass doors it's really heavy. It's weight is the reason for the modified Freedomcleat on the back. The top half of the cleat is placed 1/2" from the back. The lower half has a piece of 1.24 MM BB attached to engage the cleat. It looks like a lighted cabinet. It's not. That's a reflection of a florescent behind me.
