  • Chippendale Mirror
    uring the late 18th century, elaborately framed mirrors, known as looking glasses, served as testimonials to the Dwealth of their owners. A looking glass similar to the one shown here would have cost the owner 10 to 12 shillings, a hefty price considering that the average wage for a skilled tradesman of the time was about 6 shillings a day. This is the first serious piece I give my students to make. Be- cause I’m blending a traditional piece into a modern curricu- lum, I don’t go nuts over historical precedence and technique, and I take full advantage of modern machinery. For a small project, this mirror introduces a wide range of skills from basic design and layout to veneering and scrollwork. Each year, my class ends up with a great collection of stunning mir- rors that they present as thank-you gifts to mom and dad for the thousands doled out for tuition. Begin by constructing a two-layer frame Despite its elaborate appearance, this project has only two main parts. The frame, which I make first, consists of a visible mitered molding in mahogany that sits on top of a poplar subframe; sur- rounding it are scrollsawn parts made from a shopmade core with figured veneer (in this case makore) as the face veneer and plain veneer on the back. The common way to build a frame is to use 3⁄4-in.-thick primary Build a wood and miter the corners. Even when the joints are splined or Chippendale Mirror nailed, this is a poor approach.

These jigs can help. he only frame joint that doesn’t leave a Tbit of end grain exposed is the miter joint. Given that it’s almost invisible when done right, it’s visually appealing, so you see it used for picture frames, for architectural trim, when assembling mouldings and oc- casionally in face or door frames. But it can be a problematic joint. Structurally, it’s a bit weak. Because it mates one tangentially cut end-grain surface (sometimes called “short grain”) with an- other, it’s weaker than a long-grain-to-long- grain joint.

  • Gluing Picture Frame Miters I Have Always Been Frustrated with the Difficulty in Gluing, and Especially Clamping 45 Degree Miter Joints
    Gluing picture frame miters I have always been frustrated with the difficulty in gluing, and especially clamping 45 degree miter joints. On this page, I describe the best method of gluing such joints I have found yet. I don't consider this method to be very good, just the best that I have figured out so far. The perfect way to do corners is of course the way good cabinet makers make doors, which is to avoid miters altogether. This would require expensive router or shaper bits if any sort of profile is to be used, and even then doesn't look that good on picture frames. The main problem with gluing the miter joint is that after it has glue applied to it, it becomes very slippery. This is compounded by the fact that you can't apply the clamp to just press one joint together. Any pushing together of the joint will also usually cause it to slip a little bit. Even if you clamp it with two clamps from either side at once, you never get the forces quite balanced, and the darned thing slips. As if slipping sideways wasn't enough, the pieces also slip up and down, so getting a nicely aligned miter joints very frustrating. To eliminate part of the slippage, I like to slit the pieces of wood and insert a piece of wood, cut in such a way that the grain goes across, not along the piece of wood: 45 degree miter joint with joining piece This cut isn't totally easy, because it has to be very accurate.

    CMT Locking Miter Bit The locking miter joint is a very strong joint when made properly. This is the first of a number of articles making use of this great bit. C.M.T. UTENSILI S.p.A. Via della meccanica 61122 Pesaro - Fraz. chiusa di Ginestreto- Italy Tel. #39 0721 48571 Fax. #39 0721 481021 e-mail [email protected] www.cmtutensili.com The locking miter router bit is not new. I have seen it in ca- talogs for years. I have also read some articles on projects using it, but after seeing questions get asked frequently in the various woodworker forums, I decided it might be a good joint to learn first hand. I wanted to find out several things: 1) how easy was it to setup; 2) how strong was the joint; 3) was it attractive and finally 4) what router table, router and jigs would be necessary to use it properly and safely. At right, is the first joint I made...so either I was lucky or it is simple to use. It certainly looks good and seems to have very good gluing surfaces, so it should be pretty strong. Let me start at the beginning. The instructions say that one side is routed flat on the table and the other is held vertical against the fence. Here is the illustration from the CMT cata- log. Of course, that is if you are making a corner joint. The bit can also be used as a glue-up joint for mating parallel boards; that is a different story completely and will cover at the end.
