I mentioned in my "Weekend Doings" reply that I made some simple picture frames on Sunday and today and wanted to illustrate them before I close down for the holiday. Given my PC7518 is in the shop for a couple of weeks to get it's speed control circuitry fixed, I decided on a basic design that I could execute purely on the table saw.
Three sizes were made; three to accommodate 8"x10" matted "chicken" prints from Key West, one to handle an 11"x14" matted print also from Key West and one to display a beautiful 30"x13" matted print of plumb-bobs done by a relative of my father. The three smaller frames have 1 3/8" wide rails and stiles and the two larger ones have 1 3/4" wide rails and stiles. The corners are mitered and frankly, just reinforced with some brads. (The next batch will get splines once I build a jig to cut for them) A deep 1/4" wide rebate was cut in the back of the frame components to hold the glass, matt and backer with only a 1/8" lip at the very front. The edges are all square with just the corner knocked down with sandpaper very slightly.
These are all made from poplar off the property and finished with WB antique cherry dye followed by several coats of garnett shellac. The piece shown below is one of the smaller frames. (Sorry about the quality of the photo...I shot it quickly)
Happy holidays, everyone! 'Hope Santa is good to you and you have a great time with family and friends!
