Popular Post munzieb Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I thought I would try something different. I made my standard joint box but I wanted to do a angle cut pattern on the sides. I did a 4 degree cut on 1/2 poplar with a #2 skip tooth blade. I did a test piece to make sure I was going in the right direction. I marked all the cutouts to get them in the right place. I always made sure the base of the blade was pointed toward the inside of the waste part of the cut. I actually didn't screw it up! Then I cut the outside in the opposite direction and glued and reinserted the inside pieces. I cut off the extrusions with a bandsaw and sanded flush in the inside. Once I looked at what I had done, I realized that the relief height was 1/8"!?!?. Well I did learn something but decided to just scroll out the top pattern and just glued it on top. Finish was black lacquer and antique gold acrylic on the pattern. I guess , if you don't try, you don't know. Still happy with the box.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I agree it came out well. Also trying new things can open up more avenues for future projects. We are artisans and we thrive on using our creative side of our brains and this is a way to give it a workout. I am sure you learned valuable lessons in this project. It came out well too. Thanks for showing. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, sometimes I have a problem "splaining" things. Lucy says I should ask Ricky how I did that. It may have been before cocktail hour before I wrote that down.

munzieb Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I am overwhelmed by all your kind comments and likes for this project. I like to do things that are a challenge and until I figured out the correct angle and direction of the cuts, it was a challenge. I will say that enough coats of black lacquer will cover a multitude of screw ups. Even screwing up the black lacquer can be fixed with more coats of black lacquer (and make it look better) Thanks again. On to the next project.
