I started a new octagonal shadow box this evening. Here is the miter gauge I use to cut perfectly matched pieces to assure everything lines up just right.
Here are all of the pieces with the angles and biscuit slots cut on the ends, and the rabbets cut on the edges.
Ruth is using a Q-Tip to clean up the excess glue on all of the miters. This makes for less sanding when it is all dry, and the band clamp is ready to come off.
I looked out the window tonight, and the doe was out back with her very rare set of triplets!
It is very cool to see them to this day, even though we see them every night.
They are now just starting to lose their spots.
Forgive the "fuzzy" picture, I had to really zoom in to get a close shot.
Stay tuned to see them grow up, hopefully they all stick together.
