Popular Post munzieb Posted October 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted October 4, 2020 Whew! Finally done. I took almost a month to do this Art Deco Weave Pattern Box. I used 1/4" Padauk and there are 200 holes per panel. I used a #2 skip tooth blade. Cutting Padauk definitely requires using a mask. It has a peppery smell but the fine dust can affect you. Finish is gloss lacquer. I had thought about doing another lamp but the pattern was going in the wrong direction. I like the feet. I mounted small blocks on the edges. I had left overs from trimming the panels and used my belt sander and set the fence of the disk sander to 45 degrees. I used the miter on the fence to hold it straight and ground down to the 45. Since it's only 1/4", it went very fast. Trimmed the pattern on the scroll saw and sanded a radius on the edges of each piece. I cut off the reverse excess trim on the long piece and ground off another 45 and repeated 4 times for for the left and 4 times for the right/opposite side. Laid down blue tape and place the opposing pieces down with the matching 45's, glued and squeezed together. I set the box on a flat surface. My 1/4" glass plate is perfect for that. I CA glued each piece to the corners and made sure they were flat. It definitely gives it a more finished furniture look. Wilson142, amazingkevin, New Guy and 18 others 16 5 Quote

Initially I had thought about stack cutting but the cuts were so thin, I was concerned that one small slip would would have ruined several pieces. I may have considered if it was a larger (size) pattern. That's why it took so long to cut. Be_O_Be and danny 1 1 Quote
