Kev Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 I used Slab Stitcher to cut the Dutchment in the back. I've had this kit for a while but, wasn't properly set up for it the first time I tried it so they didn't turn out too well. Well, I picked up the couple of little pieces I needed to use the system correctly and they turned out much better this time! Here's the Slab Stitcher set up. Plunge attachment on my trim outer with a bushing and 1/4" spiral bit. And here's how they fit I had to do a little work in the corners to get their Dutchment to fit but, I'm pretty happy with this fit. Especially on the back side of a frame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 Here it is all flushed up with a hand plane and then sanded.. For the back of a picture frame, I'm pretty sure I can live with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 And now with a little Osmo on it.. They did ask for a frame that looked a little older and not brand new so, some things I would have normally sanded out or color corrected I left in. I may set it out in the sun over the next few days and let the sun go to work on the cherry strips.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Having helped a friend build several large frames, (not quite this large or complex), I’d say that you have this one under control! Any idea what the glass will weigh? This bugger, total weight might be 20 lbs.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what the glass will weigh? This bugger, total weight might be 20 lbs.? Fair question and I honestly don't know. That's the reason I added the Dutchmen in the back. I have hanging wire rated for 50 pounds.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for a good cause in this case.. Will be cool to see the flag in a place of prominence for a long time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 We adhered the flag to the backer this morning as well.. It's a good thing my wife is a quilter that knows more about how to do this than I do! We used a temporary fabric adhesive to affix it to the backer. We rolled the flag up on a large dowel and sprayed the adhesive. Then we rolled out the flag removing wrinkles as we went. My wife assures me that this will not damage the flag in any way and is easily removed if the flag ever needs to come out. This is the adhesive that we used. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Just now, Coop said: Very well done! Thanks.. Still gotta get the glass in it but, I'm pretty happy with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Well, shortly after I glued up the second Rocker for the Child's Rocker, I got the call that the glass one in for this project so, I went and picked it up.. Not much to see here but, I got the glass cleaned and the flag installed. I also installed the mounting hardware that is rated for 110 pounds. I think this probably weighs about 35 pounds.. Then I cleaned the glass on the outside and attempted a picture.. As all of you know, taking a picture of anything with glass is difficult at best! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olie Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Very cool project. I don’t know anything about installing glass. Is it glued in the rabbet with a glass adhesive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's just set in the rabbet with the backer and a series of picture frame clips.. I have a little gun that shoots them but they can be manually installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
