Hi there.
Next saturday I am going to my in-laws to spend 10 days, I thought I could start my swap project and take it there to work on it in order not to die of boredom. as I will not be able to log on the forum.
As I can only take my gouges and sharpening stones, I started the project today making the things that need some machinery.
From a piece of cherry wood that Larry gave me during the last gathering I just glued the pattern and cut it on my bandsaw.
Then with my reciprocating saw I cut away the inside waste and with the router I routed away one level leaving enough thickness on the back to route a rabbet to allocate the glass and the back lid of the frame. That rebate will have to be done at the end as I need all parts to be supported to preven breakages.
Then I marked both on the outside and inside the maximum depth the carving will have, so that I know how much I can play with the shapes.
