Frames

I think i may be allergic to Alaskan Yellow Cedar, its giving me a rash, so its a good thing that the end is near for it. Its amazing how the smell permeates everything, even with a respirator i feel like its coated my whole head. Anyhow, once i got the order of operations down the process sped up.

Start by cutting the bottom of the frame to the lines on the loft. Next cut the vertical pieces of the frame 1/8 to 1/4 inch longer than the loft. Text set the table saw to the bevel angles on the outside of the vertical frame pieces, and cut. Set the saw next to the bevel of the bottom frane piece and cut.

Now that you have the bevels cut draw lines at 90 degrees to the bevels on the vertical frame piece ends. Clamp the pieces down to the loft and draw out the shear line than stack the pieces up and screw them together. At this poing grab the belt sander and  sand the ends down to match the long bevels.

I'll admit this sounds complicated, but once figured out its not so bad, and you end up with the lofted lines in between the pieces of the frame.
