Make a Picture Frame with Diamond Inlay Banding - Pt 3

Make a Picture Frame with Diamond Inlay Banding - Pt 3 Video Clips. Duration : 6.70 Mins.


Watch and learn how to make a picture frame with diamond inlay banding. In Part 3 of this woodworking series the woodworker fine tunes the cherry picture frame. The splined miter joints are trimmed at the band saw. The frame is then securely placed in a woodworking vise at the workbench so that the woodworker can apply hand tools to the project. A sharp block plane is used to trim the remainder of the mahogany splined miters flush to the frame at all four miter joints. The splines will nicely accent the cherry lumber of the picture frame. Any saw blade marks on the edges of the frame will also be planed at this time and the edges will be sanded smooth. To sand the edges, the woodworker uses a long sanding block with wrapped with a 120 sanding belt. This allows for long, smooth sanding. Then a regular hand sanding block is used for a finer surface preparation. Successive sanding will eventually advance to 400 grit sandpaper. Notice how the woodworker incorporates the card scraper to get into the small, tight areas of the picture frame for scraping. These areas are also followed up with sandpaper. The woodworker applies paint thinner to a rag and wipes the complete frame. Why? There are two reasons for doing this. 1.) This will remove the sanding dust from the frame in preparation for applying the finish. 2.) When the paint thinner is applied, the woodworker will be able to see if any glue stain shows on the woodworking project. What happens if there is glue stain? If the ...
