Clayton717 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I was making several frames last night, when disaster almost struck. I got all the wooded ripped to width routered them and cut the miters. It was going real smooth until I went to put them together. The miters on the last corner didn't meet when I tried putting them together. I was freaking out I spent all that time setting everthing up so they would all come out the same that worked, to bad it was wrong. I checked my miter saw and it appeared to be set at a 45 degree angle, upon further inspection there was a small piece of scrap keeping it from locking completely into the 45 position. Luckily I was able to trim all the angles to a true 45, but I also had to trim all the pieces to be framed down about an 1/8". I got them all completely built after about an extra hour of work. So from now on I'll check the miter alot closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find one of those, let me know. I want one too! LOL I'm glad your frames turned out OK in the end, Clayton. Trimming your work a little is a small price to pay to make all that work worthwhile. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
